EASTER
SPECIAL OFFERING
A
teachers' pep rally for the Dallas Public School system was recently
featured on Oprah Winfrey. Twelve year-old student Dalton Sherman asked
the teachers "Do You Believe in Me?" He was challenging the
teachers to believe in him. If the teachers believed in him then, he told
them, he could "do anything."
Jesus
also asks "do you believe in me?" In John 11:25- 26, Jesus says
to Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in
me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes
in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Each day, the General and
Racial/Ethnic Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
answer Jesus' question "Do you believe me?" through their
witness to God's good news.
Your
support of the 2010 Easter Offering witnesses to our belief that we can do
all things through Christ Jesus who believes in us. Your support of these
ministries extends our church's witness from your doorsteps to the ends of
the earth. Your gift to the Easter Offering shares the message of
resurrection through...
Missionaries
touching lives around the globe...Ministerial relief
and
assistance ... Stewardship education...Disciples Men
and
Women's Ministries...A fully inclusive table where we
learn
from our brothers and sisters in Christ...Proclaiming our
identity
and history as a people of Christian unity... Our shared
mission
as a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world...
Education
for and learning from children and youth...Leadership
development...Evangelism
Training...Hands on mission work...
Global
and domestic partnerships...
Your
gift says "You believe in the power of the resurrection!"
