SUMMARY:General Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 2023 General Assembly online and in person to celebrate the way that God’s expansive love connects each of us as “kin” and to part of the larger Kindom of God.  \n\n\n\n“Once\, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come\, Jesus replied\, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed\, nor will people say\, ‘Here it is\,’ or ‘There it is\,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”\n\n\n\nLUKE 17:20-21 \n\n\n\nWorkshop\n\n\n\nWith dozens of workshops to choose from\, church leaders from across the life of the church can enrich their knowledge while connecting with others who are curious about the same topic. New Church Ministry invites to you to participate in DisciplesNEXT\, a workshop in the Within Us track hosted by Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez\, Minister of New Church Strategies\, on Tuesday\, August 1 at 10:15 AM. \n\n\n\nDisciplesNEXT\n\n\n\nOur context is a Post-Christendom\, global pandemic recovering world. Therefore\, we have to look into the quality and not the quantity when it comes to making new disciples and establishing new congregations. Through a collaboration of New Church Ministry\, the Office of the General Minister and President\, and the College of Regional Ministers came a framework to lead us into the “Next Normal.” Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez will present the DisciplesNEXT Framework that will demonstrate how our Church will start new faith communities to be a “Movement for Wholeness” in a Pandemic Informed World. \n\n\n\nExhibition Booth\n\n\n\nOur ministry will also be present in the exhibit hall at booth #516 with Disciples Church Extension Fund (DCEF)\, where we will be offering space to create your own prayer beads and learn more about contemplative action as a core value in ministry. We will also be providing giveaways – cruise by for NCM-branded swag!

SUMMARY:Georgia Regional Assembly
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to announce that Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez (interim Minister of New Church Strategies) will be delivering a workshop\, accompanied by Program Coordinator Wesley King\, on pandemic-informed church at the Christian Church in Georgia’s in-person Regional Assembly. \n\n\n\nParticipants at the assembly will be convening around the theme “Re-church: Re-cast Your Net” from John 21. \n\n\n\nIn this chapter\, we read of the disciples who\, when faced with a new reality\, tried to go back to fishing—and the way they’d always done it. But even that — what they thought they knew — was no longer working. That’s when Jesus showed up and said\, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat\, and you will find some.” With their nets breaking from the fish they had caught\, they recognized Jesus. \n\n\n\nWith the new realities faced by churches and people of faith\, it’s time to discover where Jesus is inviting us to cast our nets. Hosted by First Christian Church\, Athens\, the 170th Georgia Regional Assembly will include opportunities for learning\, worship\, and reconnecting for Disciples of all ages. Here are some highlights: \n\n\n\nFood Truck Tailgate Dinner will open the Regional Assembly on Friday evening at 5 pm. This is a town that knows how to tailgate —you won’t want to miss the fun and reconnecting!\n\n\n\nOpening Worship is November 11\, at 7 pm\, featuring Rev. Dr. Amy Butler\, Interim Senior Minister of National City Christian Church\, Washington\, D.C.Youth will participate in the Regional Assembly with Youth Lock-in Friday evening through Saturday. A Children’s Program for grades K-5 and Nursery Care for infants through Pre-K also will be available Friday evening and Saturday.Saturday Session for November 12 includes Rev. Dr. Nathan Brown\, Senior Pastor of Sandy Springs Christian Church\, leading a morning Bible study\, followed by “worshipful work” combining worship\, business\, celebration\, and connecting.Saturday Lunch Options will include a luncheon hosted by Disciples Women with Rev. Sylvia Stroy\, former Moderator of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Georgia\, presenting “Called as Women to Serve with Joy & Purpose.” Disciples Men will host lunch with Rev. Tom Edmondson\, Pastor of First Christian Church of Atlanta\, Tucker\, speaking on “Being a Christian Man in Today’s World.”

SUMMARY:CCDA National Conference
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez\, interim Minister of New Church Strategies\, at the Christian Community Development Organization‘s 2022 conference\, where the theme is wellbeing. Here is more information about the event: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTogether\, we will seek Wellbeing for our world\, for our nation\, for our communities\, and for each other. Wellbeing isn’t just about being happy. Rather\, Wellbeing is about finding fulfillment in what we do each day\, the quality of our relationships\, the vibrancy of our spiritual health\, the vitality of our organizations\, and the love we experience in our communities. \n\n\n\nYou can prioritize your Wellbeing by building authentic connections with other Christian Community Development (CCD) leaders and organizers gathered in Charlotte. While there\, you will be able to hear inspirational and relevant sermons\, expand your network of support\, and learn how to help your community experience Wellbeing. \n\n\n\nThis year’s gathering is inspired by Isaiah 40: 29 – 31 which reminds us that God gives power to the faint and strength to the powerless. In other words\, when we “wait” for the Lord\, we can rejoice in knowing that though we sometimes become weary and exhausted\, there remains a path to renewed Wellbeing. CCDA’s National Conference can be your place of “waiting”\, as you seek to remain faithful to God’s call to seek justice with and for the marginalized. \n\n\n\n[God] gives power to the faint\, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary\, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength\, they shall mount up with wings like eagles\, they shall run and not be weary\, they shall walk and not faint.\nIsaiah 40:29-31\, NRSV\n\nWill you join us on this path to WELLBEING? We can’t wait to see you in Charlotte 🙌🏾

SUMMARY:North Carolina regional assembly
DESCRIPTION:A NEW WAY TO ASSEMBLE IN NORTH CAROLINA\n\n\n\nDownload the Letter | Register by Mail  \n\n\n\nYou have surely heard that old tagline often used in reference to Gotham and its five boroughs: New York\, New York – the city so nice they named it twice. Well\, the same type of sentiment may be applied to the upcoming Regional Assembly of the Christian Church in North Carolina (CCNC) – so fabulous that one day is not enough. \n\n\n\nThis year\, the region will be dividing its Assembly into two parts – A and B – both of which are being offered virtually this year. Participants will gather around the theme: Telling Our Stories – Vital Conversations. \n\n\n\nJose Martinez (Associate Minister of New Church Ministry) will be attending Assembly A. \n\n\n\nAssembly A: Telling Our Stories April 23rd at 9:30 AM \n\n\n\nIt has been a tough couple of years for congregations\, ministers\, and laypeople of the CCNC. In many\, many ways\, we have not been able to be church and do ministry in the ways that have been most familiar to us. But God has been with us\, stirring us to try new things and venture in new directions. In short\, the wilderness in which we have been traveling has not been devoid of grace\, and we have stories to tell about what these experiences have meant to us. We will start the day with Rev. Chris Furr leading us to recognize and claim this remarkable\, divine presence\, and we will have the opportunity to hear some other brief voices from our region telling some of their stories. There will be the mix of music and celebration\, business and deliberation\, and a closing communion service led by Rev. Bishop Valerie Melvin (North Carolina Regional Minister) to wrap up our storytelling.

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
