This week’s second offering will be THRIVE Safe Church. Thrive is a consolidation of nine former, small ministries of the CRCNA, each of which had its own synodical mandate and budget: Chaplaincy and Care Ministry, Faith Formation Ministries, Disability Concerns, Diversity, Safe Church Ministry, Pastor Church Resources, Race Relations, Social Justice and Worship Ministries. All of these ministries have reorganized into a single entity, which was endorsed by Synod 2023 and given a new mandate focused on encouraging and equipping congregations.
Next week's special offering will be for Karen (Lubbers) Odel (Resonate Global Missions).
