Disciples Mission Fund Week will be September 8–12, 2025, BEYOND TODAY: Investing in ministry for generations to come. Your gifts to DMF support ministry that none of us could accomplish alone, nurturing new church starts, sustaining global mission partners, raising up leaders at camps, colleges, and seminaries, gathering across the United States and Canada at General Assembly, and responding to urgent needs with the limitless love of God. By contributing, you ensure that the love and witness of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) extends far beyond today—sustaining vibrant ministries for future generations. | |  | The “Feast of Creation”, also known as “Creation Day”, is an important Christian celebration that takes place annually on September 1st, or the following Sunday (which this year happens on September 7th). Originally inspired by an ancient liturgical tradition of the Orthodox Church, in place since the 5th century, nearly all major denominations now join the annual observance, celebrating God as Creator and the great mystery of creation, while also inspiring us to care for the gift of the created world. | | | | September is National Recovery Month, and NBA’s Mental Health and Wellness team will be offering resources throughout the month of September, including three live events: The Language We Use in Faith Spaces: Naming Addiction, Recovery, and Healing (September 3rd, 1:00pm ET/12:00pm CT), Community Conversation: “What Counts as Addiction?” (September 10th, 7:00pm ET/6:00pm CT), and SoulCare: Carrying Recovery Forward (September 30th, 12:30pm ET/11:30am CT). | | | What happens when we unbind the Bible and let it speak afresh into today’s questions around gender, identity, and inclusion? We know Disciples love the Bible and that we desire more justice in the world – this is a way to put those two together. We invite you to find out at a brand-new workshop hosted by DSF: Unbinding the Bible: A Trans-Affirming Approach to Scripture, Tuesday, September 23 at 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST Live on Zoom (2 hours). | | | General & Regional Ministry Opportunities | | - The Office of the General Minister and President of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada is in search of a Special Assistant to the General Minister and President.

| | As your community of faith gets its place of worship ready for autumn, make sure that it doesn't let in the cold. But if it does, improve operations with Disciples Church Extension Fund's green loans to create more energy-efficient facilities. Receive up to $150,000 USD to upgrade heating systems, replace or repair inefficient windows, and insulate, rewire, or weatherproof your congregation's sanctuary, fellowship hall, and other structures. | | | Rev. Terri Hord Owens, General Minister and President, will host a fall online book study on her book, Staying at the Table: Being the Church We Say We Are. Offering a timely and inspiring call to reclaim the radical, inclusive love of Christ, this study will invite us to reflect together on what it means to embody that vision as church today. Join us Tuesday evenings, September 23 & 30, and October 7 & 14 at 7:00 p.m. ET. | | | | | |
