Outreach Commission
World Outreach Chair:
Linda Mosteller
Description:
This commission studies the various local, regional, national and world concerns and recommends to the Executive Board those which have been selected for support. They order or design promotional materials for the various outreach programs and publicize these programs to the congregation. They also maintain contact with the Church Finance Council of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Disciples Mission Fund, to be aware of the outreach concern and activities of the denomination. They challenge the congregation with a program of study and action in the area of world concern with special attention being given to where need is the greatest. This commission promotes the observance of special days and offerings such as Reconciliation, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Week of Compassion, Easter, and Pentecost, with special emphasis on the educational phase. They plan institutes or schools of world outreach for the congregation, urge acceptance of goals for outreach mission work, and promote Brotherhood causes and emergency needs.
