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.
Participants at the assembly will be convening around the theme “Re-church: Re-cast Your Net” from John 21.
In 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.
With 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:

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:
Together, 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.
You 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.
This 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.
[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. Isaiah 40:29-31, NRSV Will you join us on this path to WELLBEING? We can’t wait to see you in Charlotte 🙌🏾
