Contributions for October are estimated at $800,000, which puts the church further behind the 2019 Worldwide Mission Tithes goal. Please prayerfully consider making additional contributions in support of local and worldwide ministries through the end of the year:
​

• If you give weekly or monthly, consider making an additional contribution.
• If you are currently support only Local Mission Tithes, consider adding a gift to support Worldwide Mission Tithes.

​You can make a difference.

Every additional contribution helps!

We invite you to “How Far to Bethlehem?,” an Advent service at 7 p.m. Central Time on December 8 in the Temple in Independence, Missouri, USA. Join us in person or online.

Congregations and individuals around the world have prepared hymns, readings, and prayers for this service. A social media wall in the Temple sanctuary will share questions and comments  from those in the sanctuary and those taking part in the live-streamed event.

From the Augsburg, Germany congregation, “Silent Night, Holy Night”/“Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht” will be performed in its original German. Offertory music from the church in Zambia, plus “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” from the Dominican Republic, and an original Christmas hymn by a French Polynesian choir will celebrate the season in song. Former presiding evangelist Dave Brock of Redmond, Oregon, will bring the homily.   

Jan Kraybill, organist-in-residence, will play the Temple’s Casavant organ with its 5,685 pipes to accompany hymns sung by worshipers, including “Hope Is a Light,” “Canticle of the Turning,” “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” and “Joy to the World.”

Coffee Buzz is Project Zion Podcast's monthly chat with a member of Community of Christ’s First Presidency.

This month, Linda Booth sits down with President Steve Veazey. Linda and Steve discuss how he sees his role as Prophet President and what his hopes are for Community of Christ. Enjoy!

Community of Christ members and friends often gather in fellowship and learning experiences called reunion or family camp. This relaxed and casual atmosphere provides space for spiritual growth, personal discernment, incredible amounts of fun, deeper commitment, new and renewed relationships, and so much more!
​
In 2020 we continue our journey with the theme “Living Jesus…Living Peace.” Plan now to join a camp to explore the question, “Why Jesus, Why Now?”. Walk the road to Emmaus again and live into the gospel stories of Jesus’ life.

Recent and ongoing conversations with current reunion directors have helped to shape our experiences. Direct suggestions, ideas, comments, and questions regarding reunion resources to Susan Naylor, 2020 Reunion project coordinator.

2020 Theme: “Living Jesus…Living Peace”

Daily Themes

• On the Way
• Living Jesus Today
• The Audacity of Shalom
• Toward the Peaceful One
• Living Hope
