Reconciliation Ministry Offering Invites Us To Go “Beyond!”
“The time is always ripe to do what is right.” – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This year’s Reconciliation Offering invites us to go beyond: beyond brokenness and focus on building the Beloved Community. Using 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 as a guide to remind us that God’s reconciling work is about transforming the way we live together here and now. To belong to Christ is to belong to this ministry—a vocation in which our every word, every action, is shaped by the message that God has already made peace with the world through Jesus.
The Reconciliation Ministry Special Offering is received each year in congregations on the last Sunday in September and the first Sunday in October (in solidarity with World Communion Sunday).
