“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together.” ~Hebrews 10:24-25, NLT

There’s something special when we gather together, and something beautiful when we are united with one heart, mind, and vision. And we know it isn’t just about us. We believe the words of Jesus when he said that he is among us whenever two or more of us are gathered (Matthew 18:20).

It has been a blessing this year to see and hear about wonderful outcomes whenever we gather together. Congregations and districts have shared love in their communities, generously cared for vulnerable people, and witnessed to the gospel of peace.

Through the mission and ministry of the Church of the Brethren, people have gathered (in-person and virtually) to pray, worshipped God at conferences, learned through workshops and ministry trainings, served through volunteer opportunities, and grown in faith. United across many miles and around the world, we grow courageous disciples, love and serve one another, extend generosity and witness, and steward God’s blessings.

As we approach Giving Tuesday (December 2), we invite you to gather with us in love and purpose to support the work of the Church of the Brethren that builds faith and changes lives. Every gift helps us continue the work of Jesus as we join him in the neighborhood.

Support the ministries of the Church of the Brethren (now or on Giving Tuesday) at www.brethren.org/givingtuesday .
