Honoring Church Educators
At the
2010 Quadrennial Assembly we will be celebrating the ministry of those special
women educators who serve in our Congregations & Regions. We want to honor
their dedication to serving in Sunday School, Bible Studies, camps and more;
teaching children, teens or adults. Look around you for the woman you will
honor at this Quadrennial. Then do the
following:
1.
Send us her photograph along with a
short statement explaining why she is an outstanding Church Educator (maximum 150 words).
2. We
would also like to have pictures of her and other Educators in Action, leading
classes, directing activities, etc.
3.
FINALLY, encourage your honored church
educator to attend Quadrennial! We hope
she will be present to enjoy the recognition.
Help get her registered
to attend the QA 2010, and be sure she checks the box on the registration form marked “Christian Educator” so we
may let her know how we
will honor her during the Quadrennial.

“Awake! Awake!” This is the theme for the 2010 Quadrennial Assembly (QA) to be held June 23-27, 2010. I hope you and several of your best friends are planning to join us in
For more than 50 years, Disciples women have been gathering for worship, study, and mission. Along the way, we have become friends with women from all over the country and even the world. Through them and the QA experience, our relationship with God has grown deeper.
If you have never joined us before, we invite you to be with us. Come enlarge our circle of faithful women. You will enjoy outstanding speakers, powerful preachers, gifted teachers, and inspiring musicians. You will share the time of your life with thousands of women (and a few men) . . . and you will be missed if you aren’t with us!
As the theme suggests, we will
be challenged to be awakened to new ways of living out our Christian
faith in these days and “for such a time as this.”
We
will be awakened to how our collective praise, our shared wisdom, and
our joyful service make the Body of Christ a stronger witness in our
troubled world.
