On April 13 & 20, Hazelwood will be collecting a special Easter Offering to support the ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The Easter Offering supports several of the general ministries of the Christian Church. Our gifts will go to support college students in leadership development programs, global mission partners, health and social service ministries, the formation of new congregations, support for pastors and chaplains, and so much more.
If you would like to donate through Hazelwood, please mark your donation “Easter Offering” and keep it separate from your regular offering. If you would like to donate to the Disciples Mission Fund directly, you can do so anytime by clicking HERE or on the image above.
