“Special days in the life of the church often allow us to focus our worship, celebrations and fellowship around moments that are central to our faith.”

Disciples Mission Fund Special Day Offerings provide an opportunity to highlight specific ministries as part of our faith celebrations. There are four Disciples Mission Fund Special Day Offerings received each year during Easter, Pentecost, Thanksgiving, and Christmas seasons. In addition, there are two special recognition offering days designated for Week of Compassion (February) and Reconciliation Ministry (September). Congregations can receive these offerings during worship or budget for a special gift, and individuals can always designate their gift to DMF for any of (these).

In addition to DMF offerings, the Northern Lights Region holds an Annual Fund Campaign each year as an emphasis of the important and meaningful ways the Annual Fund (our working funds in the Region) support ministries, congregations, and clergy.

The Christmas Offering supports regional ministries. In 31 regions across the United States and Canada, ministers are nurtured and congregations are provided opportunities for work and worship. Often recognized for the ministries of camps and conferences, regions also play a critical role in the preparation and authorization of ministerial ordination. Both are key to church leadership and development. Regions partner with congregations to support the work required to call a new minister.

Every generous gift to the Christmas Offering makes a difference in our very own Northern Lights Region, its ministries, and in the world.
