SUMMARY:Northern Lights Regional Assembly
DESCRIPTION:“My soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what was happy.And I say\, “My hope is lost from the LORD.”But this I call to mind\, and therefore I have hope:The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;God’s mercies never come to an end.They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”~Lamentations 3:20-23 NRSV \n\n\n\n\nAs a region made up of areas\, states\, congregations\, generational members\, and sojourners — the Northern Lights region’s resilience\, endurance\, and creativity is born of a faithful God. From its oldest congregation (incorporated circa 1868) to its newest congregations-in-formation (2024\, 2025)\, Disciples have been bolstered and inspired through their faith in knowing we are never alone. God is unwavering and constant\, never not present and in our midst. God is faithful\, always. \n\n\n\nJoin Minister of New Church Strategies Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez at this regional assembly. \n\n\n\nAs the Northern Lights region gathers over this Assembly weekend it will find old and new ways to acknowledge the valleys and be grateful for the peaks it has conquered\, find grounding in the present it is in\, and explore opportunities of a Church to come. \n\n\n\nWe will be fortunate to have powerful speakers among us: Rev. Chris Dorsey\, President and CEO of Disciples Home Missions (DHM)\, and Rev. Rebecca Hale\, Executive Vice President of National Benevolent Association (NBA). Regional Minister Paul Allen will round out the  assembly\,  preaching on Sunday morning for all congregations to hear. \n\n\n\nWe will do the business of the Church as we cover business items\, and learn about the work and dreams of our teams\, committees\, and commissions.  And\, we will usher in a new slate of regional servant leaders as our Nominating Committee puts their heads and hands together to discern needs\, to prayerfully consider the Spirit-gifts necessary to carry out these roles\, and to match needs with gifted volunteers across our Region. \n\n\n\nWe will worship together\, sing together\, learn together\, work together\, and share stories and meals. We look forward to “being Church” in person and virtually\, and we pray that our Assembly will be a joyful\, hopeful event that empowers each of us to carry out our various ministries through worship\, music\, and laughter. Hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Love in Action: 2026 Pentecost Offering
DESCRIPTION:On Pentecost\, the Spirit did not stay in one place. It moved outward — across languages\, cultures\, and every barrier people believed separated them. In that moment\, a new kind of community was born\, shaped by courage\, generosity\, and love. \n\n\n\nThat same Spirit is still moving today. \n\n\n\nIn a world where many people feel uncertain\, divided\, or disconnected from one another\, the Church is called to be a different kind of presence — one that reflects Christ’s compassion\, humility\, and grace. \n\n\n\nThe Prophet Micah reminds us what God asks of us: \n\n\n\n“To do justice\, love kindness\, and walk humbly with your God.” — Micah 6:8 \n\n\n\nNot just believe. \n\n\n\nNot just gather. \n\n\n\nBut to live in ways that bring healing and hope. \n\n\n\nBecause faith without justice is empty — and justice\, at its heart\, is love in action. \n\n\n\nThe Pentecost Offering helps support New Church Ministry and your Regional ministry to nurture emerging and faith communities of faith. Through these ministries\, new spaces are created where people can encounter God\, build meaningful relationships\, and serve their neighbors with compassion. \n\n\n\nYour gift helps these communities grow in neighborhoods seeking connection and hope. \n\n\n\nThank you for giving\, praying\, and helping the Spirit continue its work among us. \n\n\n\nFor Times Such as These \n\n\n\nPlease give generously to this Special Day Offering.  \n\n\n\nSpecial days in the life of the church often allow us to focus our worship\, celebrations and fellowship around moments that are central to our faith. \n\n\n\nDisciples Mission Fund (DMF) Special Day Offerings provide an opportunity to highlight specific ministries as part of our faith celebrations. There are four Disciples Mission Fund Special Day Offerings received each year during Easter\, Pentecost\, Thanksgiving\, and Christmas seasons. Congregations can receive these offerings during worship or budget for a special gift\, and individuals can always designate their gift to DMF for any of these offerings.
