Join us this Sunday, February 26, as we highlight our Week of Compassion ministries. The Executive Director of Week of Compassion, Rev. Vy Nguyen, will be our guest preacher at both services (8:15 and 10:30 a.m.)
The needs this year have been great. Tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, droughts, war. It can be overwhelming. But Disciples, we are there! Through the Week of Compassion and our partner ministries all around the world, we have been meeting physical needs and tending to wounded hearts.
Vy writes, “In the middle of it all, Week of Compassion calls on God’s mercy and speaks boldly of the Divine goodness made new each day. When it seems that tragedy and hardship is all that rises up, the people of God trust in a holy word, and proclaim with their work, their witness, and their generous giving, that God’s faithfulness will rise up anew, too. Because God’s compassion never fails, we have seen an abundance of compassion in the face of fatigue. Because God’s compassion never fails, we have seen partnerships forged, communities strengthened, and opportunities blossoming—concrete and tangible ways that Week of Compassion, serving with and on behalf of the whole Disciples church, is part of what God is doing to make things new. It is about so much more than dollars and cents. Week of Compassion is where Disciples respond to the challenges and the blessings they see and experience in the world.”
Come this Sunday to hear more about our work through Week of Compassion. Following the Traditional Service, we will gather in the Parish Hall for an all-church luncheon to welcome our new members who have joined our church in the past year. We hope you will be part of it.
I’ll see you Sunday.
