Thanks to all who are able to meet with us at the Merriam Christian Church or online next Saturday, July 31st.

We are busily preparing for a joyful time and productive, worshipful work with a goal of naming priorities for our Regional work and life in the next few years.

Between now and July 31st, you have an opportunity to select and view one or more of the videos listed on the page linked to the button below. !t is not required - merely offered to those who stay curious about how to better develop and function effectively as a board.

As you know, our Region is engaged in a Tri-Regional Partnership Exploration with Kansas and Nebraska with help from our General Minister and President. Our representatives are Ms. Peggy Chandler, Rev. Dr. Kevin Harris, and Rev. Justin Schwartz. Since September we have met monthly, interviewed leaders in other Regions also experimenting with forms of partnership and we are about to make plans for a shared activity at our July 27th meeting.

In the meantime, you may enjoy this reflection from retired Disciples pastor Kelly Gindlesberger - one of the Kansas Region's representatives.

Thank you for supporting this important work as the whole Church discerns how to be, serve, and lead in a time when 47% of the U.S. claims membership in a church, synagogue, or mosque. We Disciples are now part of a countercultural minority for the first time in over a hundred years. An opportunity for creativity and courage!
