Special thanks are extended to Geist Christian Church and the Indiana Region for hosting the Spring meeting of the General Board of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) April 11-14, 2026. Four days of worshipful work included generous one time and recurring gifts to Disciples Mission Fund. In response to a challenge to give $5,000, the board exceeded the goal and gave $7,000. The Moderator Team responded to the gifts of the board by sharing their gifts. Moderator Cindy Kim-Hengst played the piano and Rae Karim, First Vice Moderator, shared an original poem. |
