Since October 2012, a small group of Disciples from across the state have been working together. They call themselves The Listening Team. Their only task - just as one might imagine - is to simply LISTEN. There is a lot of change happening within the pastoral leadership of the Region, and, before any decisions about the future are made, the Regional Board wants to hear from YOU. First Christian Church of Edmond is hosting a Regional Listening Session on Sunday, April 14, at 4 PM in Room 116. Please plan to join FCC and the Regional Board in a listening session to discover what we think makes our region great! For more information on this process, go to www.okdisciples.org/listen
Circle of Compassion
Dinner and Auction
As First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), we continually seek ways to serve others both within our own community and beyond. One of the ministries we support is Week of Compassion (WOC). (WOC is the relief, refugee and development mission fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). WOC seeks to equip and empower disciples to alleviate the suffering of others through disaster response, humanitarian aid, sustainable development and promotions of mission opportunities.) Week of Compassion has challenged Disciples Churches to become a part of the Circle of Compassion - 100 Disciples Churches to raise $10,000 for the endowment fund for Week of Compassion. First Christian Church of Edmond has accepted this challenge! First Christian Edmond is hosting a dinner and an auction event on Sunday, April 28, in the Family Life Center to support the Circle of Compassion endeavor. Please join us on Sunday, April 28, at noon for a delicious lunch. After lunch, we will be auctioning off some great items! Come check it out! You can reserve your spot at the table in the rotunda or contact Iris Muno Jordan at 341-3544, ext. 110.
Happy Birthday!
