The world’s attention is on Israel/Palestine, and particularly on Gaza. However, our Palestinian partners remind us that the history of crisis in Gaza did not begin on Oct. 7, 2023. It is a history that goes much deeper. Hear from the Global Ministries Global Relations Minister for the Middle East and Europe, Dr. Peter Makari, on Saturday, September 14, to learn more about this history, explore the context of the current crisis, and hear about how the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) has responded.

The Children Worship & Wonder Workshop will focus on the who, what, where why & how of the program. It will point out the benefits for children & parents. Pastor Linda invites current and/or past storytellers to share their experiences and those who would like to learn more to attend this workshop and find out how your congregation can enhance its ministry with children.
