SUMMARY:2022 Pentecost Offering: Turning Struggle into Steadfastness
DESCRIPTION:Stories of struggle are nothing new to the church. \n\n\n\nFrom the persecution faced by early Christians to civil rights movements led by faith leaders\, the church has found its strength in times of unrest. \n\n\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic is yet another chapter in this long history\, both nothing unique and yet entirely different.  \n\n\n\nThrough it all\, Disciples have been steadfast. By launching emerging congregations\, they have stepped up to care for communities in need. \n\n\n\nBut they don’t do it alone. \n\n\n\nWith the help of regional and general ministries\, these brave leaders have been provided with facilities to conduct their outreach activities and with online educational opportunities\, such as Leadership Academy. \n\n\n\nBy making a gift to the 2022 Pentecost Offering\, received in most congregations on Sundays\, May 29 and June 5\, you can ensure that the new church movement continues to prosper in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. \n\n\n\nEach year\, half of these gifts go to your own region to support local new church development. The other half goes to New Church Ministry\, which trains\, equips\, assists\, and multiplies new church leaders across the U.S. and Canada through programs such as coaching\, New Church Hacks\, and Water the Plants. \n\n\n\nPlanning\, nurturing\, and sustaining new places of worship is part of the Disciples’ vision – participation in this Special Day Offering helps this vision come to life. \n\n\n\nPlease consider making a generous gift to this year’s Pentecost Offering. \n\n\n\nResources\, including graphics\, stories to share\, and videos\, can be found on the Pentecost Offering page located on Disciples Mission Fund (DMF) website. Please note: No bulletin inserts\, posters\, or envelopes will be mailed to congregations\, but they are available on the DMF website. If you need envelopes\, please email supplies@disciples.org  \n\n\n\nStories from previous years’ Pentecost Offerings can be found here.

We are feeling the impact of these unprecedented times. That’s why ministry innovation are so important. There is no better time to try something new! In this workshop\, New Church Ministry will encourage participants to:  \n\n\n\nNot simply survive in these times\, but to thrive through themMore deeply understand what some are calling “the new normal”Prepare to lead by offering new expressions of ministryEarn the ability to respond to the needs of your church and community efficiently

SUMMARY:Pentecost Offering
DESCRIPTION:Be the New Church\n\n\n\nFor the past thirteen months\, many Disciples have been struggling with social isolation. They’ve stayed away from their various places of worship to protect the health and safety of themselves and others. It has been difficult. \n\n\n\nHow have new church leaders responded? By launching communities of faith in creative and innovative ways. \n\n\n\nIt’s looked like spreading the word about the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada through Door Dash food deliveries\, meeting with folks every week on Zoom to discuss anxiety\, and making sure that the spiritual needs of those transitioning out of correctional facilities are met. \n\n\n\nFrom hospital and prison chaplains to tri-vocational pastors\, courageous new church leaders have answered the call to be the new church. \n\n\n\nTo support them and their efforts to continue the new church movement\, please contribute to the 2021 Pentecost Offering\, collected in most congregations on Sundays\, May 16 and May 23. Each year\, half of the gifts made go to your own Region to support local new church development. The other half goes to New Church Ministry\, which trains\, equips\, assists\, and multiplies new churches and their leaders. Through programs such as Leadership Academy\, New Church Hacks\, and Water the Plants\, your gifts make a difference across the life of the Church. By participating in this Special Day Offering\, you ensure the viability\, vitality and sustainability of unique new church plants in your area and in states\, provinces\, and territories far away. \n\n\n\nPlease consider giving generously. Let’s all be the new church\, together. \n\n\n\nTo access additional Pentecost Offering resources\, including printable PDFs\, videos\, and graphics\, visit the Disciples Mission Fund website.

Attend from the comfort of your home or office.Stay tuned for: workshops\, presenters\, and other event details. \n\n\n\nFrom Past Participants\n\n\n\n“Before attending the SENT Seminar\, I had no idea what impact it would have on turning my dream into a living project. I was so impressed at how the whole structure\, from arrival to departure\, was a joy leaping inside of me that said\, “they care about what you have envisioned.” The workshops were well thought out and planned. I really enjoyed the hands-on exercise of setting up my social media page before I left. I am such a taskmaster\, and checking that one off the list felt good. … The NBA staff were so incredible and professional in how they met with all the attendees. I felt that my dream was shared in a safe place\, and it gave me time to reflect on what it could become.” — Syvoskia Pope\, 2017 \n\n\n\n“The journey into social entrepreneurship begins with saying ‘yes’ to things one is afraid to do. The NBA SENT Seminar has been an important part of me saying ‘yes’ and connecting myself to a community of people who are also interested in making a difference.” — Rebecca Klemme Eliceiri\, 2019 SENT Participant
