Received in most congregations on April 5 & 12, 2020
Across the United States, Canada, and beyond, Disciples are rejoicing in all that the Lord has made.
This Easter, we rejoice together as one Church, as the One Body of Christ. We rejoice in all that we accomplish together, and the work God accomplishes through us.
Let us rejoice that the Easter offering, through Disciples Mission Fund, makes ministry possible. Through the general ministries of our Church, lives are changed and our world is transformed. Will you rejoice with us and give to this special day offering?
This Easter season, let us rejoice in all the ways our wider Church embodies the Spirit of Resurrection, through life-giving ministry.
Please give generously to this year’s Easter Offering.
