Inspiring Figures of the Christian Faith, Part 2.  Several years ago, we studied 12 inspiring figures through history. Now we begin a new series with 12 new inspiring people— some of whom you may know and others who will be new to you.  Join us Thursday, 2:30-4PM, in the church library.

Serving 

While we do hands-on volunteer projects, we are focusing more intentionally on financial offerings during our transition at this time.   
During the past month, we have responded to God’s commands to heal the sick,
clothe the naked, and feed the hungry with the following donations:
  • $500 to the Belmont Food Pantry
  • $500 to Housing Works, a 501c3 with the mission of providing housing and
support to people living with HIV/AIDS. This month, John Catron is participating
in his 13th Braking AIDS bike ride, which raises funds for Housing Works.
  • $500 to a Guatemalan immigrant family who arrived in Richmond with only the
clothes on their backs. (Please stay tuned for hands-on opportunities to
support this family!)
  • $3,700 to the Disciples Mission Fund
  • $200 to Outreach Disciples of Christ for special offerings during Easter,
Pentecost, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, plus a Virginia Region Direct offering of
the same amount, totaling $1,000 in special offerings.
