Pentecost Offering

June 2 and 9

How Is the Pentecost Offering

Used?

To help our new church

movement continue to take root!

Each year, half of this offering

stays in the local Region where

it’s collected to start and uphold

new churches. The other half is

used across the United States

and Canada by New Church

Ministry to support the

recruiting, assessing, training

and coaching of new church

leaders at events like Leadership

Academy.

Our church planters remain

committed to answering God’s

call . . . to serve their neighbors,

spread the gospel, and make

more Disciples. But they need

the nurturing and generous

support of people like you

through the 2019 Pentecost

Offering, June 2 and 9.

Please help our new church

movement continue to take root,

bear fruit . . . and grow more

Disciples every day!

First Christian Church Outreach

The Dietert Center Take 5 Club offers memory im-

paired clients a safe place to interact and gives their

caregivers some personal time.

We recently had an opportunity to conduct a craft

session with the Take 5 clients making spring em-

bellished coasters. It was very rewarding for us and

the clients had a great time.

It does require one on one assistance, so we will be

looking for volunteers for our next session in June.

One hour/quarterly, no craft experience needed,

men and women, just a kind heart needed.

Contact me if you are interested. Katherin McCoy, 830-459-2926.
