Christmas Special Offering

The annual Disciples Christmas Special Offering will be received in many congregations on December 15th and 22nd. This offering supports our Regional Ministries and all donations made in Mid-America congregations will stay right here in our Region. Associate Regional Minister Phil Snider has prepared videos in two different formats and we encourage all to share them in worship, on your websites, and in your social media.

Lectio at 11

All are welcome to come together for an online Advent spiritual journey. Each Tuesday we’ll meet on Zoom at 11:00 am for a time of centering, reflection, and prayer. We’re hoping this will be a time to step away from the routines of the week, be with others you don’t normally get to see, and engage the Word of God for the people of God.

Each Tuesday we will focus on a portion of the upcoming Sunday’s Gospel lesson: Dec 3 – Luke 3:1-8; Dec. 10 – Luke 3:7-18; Dec.17 – Luke 1

We’re calling this “Lectio at 11,” and we’ll meet from 11am-noon. Just click on this link to join us!

Congratulations to our Mid-America clergy celebrating milestone anniversaries of their ordination in November.
