Christian Church in NC: A Resilient Church with Liberating Unity!

Goal: To be the effective witness that Christ empowered us to be in dismantling systemic racism, creating equity, and advocating for reconciliation. While we acknowledge those who have already begun conversations around systemic racism and justice, we want to encourage the 'next step' actions beyond conversations.

To aid in this quest for human liberation and justice, the Anti-Racism and

Pro-Reconciliation Commission (ARPR) will engage the Christian Church in NC

as follows:

October 4 - World Communion Sunday

ARPR hosts Regional Gathering for Justice and Love with Communion (whether physical or virtual) and signing Dismantling Racism document. We will gather (virtually if necessary, for COVID-19 concerns) reflecting our three-strands.

We want all expressions present - CC (DOC); COC, DOC; and PDC.  We will invite the Regional Elders to be involved in helping with this World Communion Sunday.

What's Next, Church?

After the World Communion Service, ARPR will evaluate and determine what's next as the region continues the work of becoming ONE body of Christ.

This is a movement, not a moment!

Crisis Control Ministry

Hello, everyone!  

Well, we turn another page on our calendar and this time it is August.  I don't know how many people still keep a "calendar" on their desk or one adhered to the refrigerator via a magnet.  Yes, I have a smart phone that will keep track of all those important dates but I still like to fill the spaces myself.  Actually, I like to do many things for myself.  One of the things that Ron and I taught Grant when he was younger was to be self-sufficient- to do things for yourself as long as you are able.  One of the things that is included in that definition is keeping food in your cupboard to feed your family.  For some that is an everyday thing but for others it is not possible for some reason.  Fortunately, our family has never experienced a lack of income that is necessary to purchase food.   We have always had electricity to help keep us warm and cool.  We have always had a secure place to live.  We have never had a medical prescription we couldn't fill at the pharmacy.   I realize every day that our family is in the minority and I am thankful every day.  Many people do not have these  luxuries.    This is where Crisis Control Ministry's food program that we participate in works and helps those who no longer can do it themselves.  With Covid now in our midst, this problem is seen by more families.  This month, Crisis Control Ministry is requesting COOKING OIL to place on their shelves and give away.  You might think that is  a strange item but think about all the things you use it for.  Please put a few small bottles in your shopping cart next time you shop.  The food we give frees up other monies for other necessities.  Please continue to help this Ministry as the needs of the people will always be with us.

Much love,

Becky Minnix
