Get a sneak peek at the Middle East Initiative

by Tom Morse, Global Ministries

 

Global Ministries is preparing to launch an 18-month focus on the Middle East at General Assembly in July, but we wanted you to have a chance to experience one of the wonderful Bible studies today.

 

You'll also have the opportunity to sign up to be among the first congregations to receive additional Bible studies, videos, and worship resources, as well as receiving invitations to participate in live discussions with partners from across this diverse region.

 

Global Ministries hopes that through the Middle East Initiative Congregations will:

  • Become familiar with the range of denominational partners in the region and the issues they face and the context in which they face them
  • Learn about ways that the UCC and Disciples continue to build on an already-lasting history of engagement
  • Become active in education and advocacy as members of North American churches, as well as support the various programs and witness of partners in the region

Find out how you can participate in this exciting initiative.
