Assembling our Region on October 14 – 15, 2022, Fullerton, CA
There is an air of anticipation blowing across our congregations.
Our Region, like so many others, on the even years enjoys an assembly, it is where we come together, convening our congregations’ delegates for the purposes of conducting business, worship, education, fellowship and serving as a witness to the world.
In this Assembly, we concern ourselves with the question, How do we forge ahead, beyond gloom, and discover a new way forward? We need a light. We are being called to Arise Anew. Together, we will take time for business, create space for each other, become inspired by keynoters, and worship in ways we pray all will help us to Arise, Anew.
If you have not reported and submitted your voting delegate forms (due October 1, 2022). Please call the office and receive additional instructions. There is still time to register online: https://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07ejde5as72b6751d9&oseq=&c=&ch=
As a result of the pandemic, public health, and safety concerns we assembled and gathered (2020 – 2021), virtually. This year we are grateful to celebrate in a hybrid format, virtually, and in-person. Thank you in large part to the technological advances, and support of First Christian Church, Fullerton. PSWR Disciples will worship and be served in a virtual Regional audience as well as with in-person assembling. We will Arise, Anew.
Too, as we look to the future, the vision and work of the General Board of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada inspires our deeper covenant. It is raising the question, How We Do Church in a New Time and Place? Here is a link to more information about the same: https://disciples.org/covenant-project/
I would like to thank the many volunteers, talents, gifts, and efforts that came from our congregations. Our Region is filled with a beautiful array of diversities in culture, languages, music, worship, social and theological perspectives and much more. Many of these will be reflected in this upcoming Regional Gathering, October 14 – 15, 2022. It has been shaped together with you at heart and in mind.
Once again, please register and attend, help us witness our strength and support the many efforts of our congregations. We are praying and working to Arise, Anew.
Blessings,
Richie
