Six Weeks of Compassion

August 7th thorough September 11th, we are highlighting our various outreach missions.

Week of Compassion Offering – Week of Compassion is more than a week. It is a ministry of the whole Church, reaching those in need “around the world, around the year.” Any time we respond to a need in the world, we bear witness to the unity of our table, faithfully sharing the gifts that we have as an expression of Christ’s love. In working together with partners, we represent the Disciples of Christ commitment to unity, making our resources reach farther and growing our impact on a global scale. Our Week of Compassion special offering will be received any time during the 6 weeks, and all will be dedicated on September 11th.
