The General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is excited to invite congregations, regions and ministries across the life of the church to celebrate Kindom Sunday on June 18, for a day of prayer.
When the General Assembly meets in Louisville, Kentucky July 29-August 1, 2023, it will be the first time in four years the church as a whole has gathered in person. The theme for the 2023 General Assembly is “Kindom of God Within Us, Among Us.” The General Assembly is the whole church. It’s not just a gathering.
The whole church is invited to pray the preamble on Kindom Sunday, June 18, as an act of worship and unity in celebration of the way that God’s expansive love connects each of us as “kin” and to each part of the larger kindom of God.
Regional clusters will also share in a month of spiritual preparation and intercessory prayer during the month leading up to our worshipful work in Louisville. Please join us on Thursdays at 7 to 715pm eastern beginning June 22 streaming live on Facebook and YouTube.
For this occasion download the printable, commemorative preamble to The Design of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
