Regional ministries help enlist Disciples as members of a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. These ministries benefit directly from the 2009 Christmas Special Offering, which will be received in most congregations on Sunday, Dec. 20. The theme for this year’s Christmas Offering is “O Come All You Faithful." Contributions will help support the work of the Church’s 33 regional ministries as they connect with new congregations, transformed congregations and help prepare new leaders for ministry and provide camps and conferences for young people.
