Christian Church in the Southwest Guiding Vision

ndndlogo_150w.jpgFriends, it is now time to share the Christian Church in the Southwest Guiding Vision – in its “wet cement” form with all of our friends and neighbors!

AND, to do that, the special Materials Writing Team has been hard at work!!!

Below is a whole host of resources available to use in sharing the CCSW Guiding Vision.

MANY, MANY, MANY THANKS to Brad Stagg (chair), Randy Frye, Todd Boddy, Bonnie Schuler and Dale Ziemer for spending the last week making all of these resources happen!!!!!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!!  

I hope that EVERY congregation has some opportunity to talk about the Guiding Vision!   God is calling us to a “new day” and it’s going to take all of us to discern that “new direction!”

Blessings,

The Rev. Dani Loving Cartwright
Regional Minister & President
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the Southwest
