For more than 40 years, Disciples have had a visible ministry to address racism in society. Gifts to Reconciliation Ministry, through its Offering or throughout the year, support programs and initiatives aimed at dismantling racism.
Your gift puts hope into action by supporting education, programming, and grants that equip congregations, camps, conferences, and General Ministries to dismantle racism, strengthen relationships, and build beloved community. Half of each gift remains in the region where it is received.
Hazelwood will once again be collecting the Reconciliation Special Offering during worship on Sundays, September 27 and October 4. If you would like to contribute directly to the Reconciliation Ministry, please click HERE or on the image above.
