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!"
