If you're anything like me, when you get busy or overwhelmed you tend to isolate and insulate yourself from others. I'm not sure the reason many of us end up doing this. Inevitably, during periods of stress or busyness, I place myself in my own little personal silo. I know many people have similar tendencies. Perhaps there's an unconscious feeling we don't have time for social interactions in the middle of stressful points in our lives. Or maybe deep down inside there's some unfounded idea that things will happen more efficiently or will have a better outcome if we isolate ourselves from those around us and do it all on our own. The truth is, however, that the inverse is true nearly every time. If we allow ourselves an opportunity to be vulnerable, we are really affording ourselves the chance to experience support, encouragement, and love through the Body of Christ.

While we might believe it's somehow easier or better doing things on our own, the reality is that we are better together. This is true in good times and bad; in a state of stress or in a state of comfort. We were not created to go through this life independently in isolation. We are better together.

This year our Faith Development teams have adopted a new strategy and vision based on this very idea. Beginning this Fall, you're going to see some changes in the way we communicate and operate that are designed to incorporate the best things we all bring to the table. We believe it's better to share the journey, both in our personal lives and in our faith path. We are going to be intentional about equipping families with tools to continue the conversations that happen at church. We hope to be able to extend the exciting things happening at church far beyond our walls; we want them to be incorporated into the every-day lives of the children, students, and adults who are impacted by the Faith Development Ministries of First Christian Church. We believe we are better together.

Currently, First Christian Church has well over fifty members who have attended the Walk to Emmaus. Dates for upcoming Walks: Men's Walk - October 4-7; Women's Walk - October 18-21.

As our Executive Committee of the Church Board implements strategies to ensure a more balanced budget, a change impacting us all is the decreased frequency of our newsletter, the Chalice Connection.

We ask for your patience and support as we make this transition. Newsletter publication dates for the last quarter of 2018, and their corresponding submission deadlines are as follows:

October 4, submission deadline September 27
November 1, submission deadline October 25
December 6, submission deadline November 29

Through your generosity, First Christian Church gives to outreach partners throughout our community and beyond. A goal of this committee is to provide information about some of these ministries. This month, we would like to highlight Oklahoma Disciples Foundation, Disciples Mission Fund, and Disciples Retirement Community.

Oklahoma Disciples Foundation administers endowment funds that benefit Disciples of Christ ministers and organizations. Campers, students, senior citizens, pastors, churches, and many others benefit from these funds. 

Disciples Mission Fund is the common fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). It supports 72 ministries of wholeness as close as our church and reaching around the globe.

Disciples Retirement Community serves the needs of senior adults in the Oklahoma regional church, especially those who were residents of Oklahoma Christian Home when it was liquidated by the National Benevolent Association.

Domestic abuse occurs whenever one person in an intimate relationship or marriage tries to dominate and control the other person. It may be emotional, verbal, or physical. Many times, abuse is hidden behind the walls of your home. We don’t talk about it so we may not know how to get help. Abusers use fear, guilt, shame, and intimidation to wear down their partner and maintain control. An abuser may also threaten or hurt the partner and those who are close to the partner.

Abusive behavior is never acceptable, whether it’s coming from a man, a woman, a teenager, or an older adult. Everyone deserves to feel valued, respected, and safe. The first step to breaking free is recognizing that the situation is abusive. Once the reality of the situation is acknowledged, help can be found.

To learn more, join us September 4 at 6pm at First Christian Church to hear Rev. Dr. John Regan talk about the church’s view on domestic abuse. We will also have a speaker from the YWCA share a victim's story, the signs of abuse, and how to get help. For assistance, contact the YWCA (2460 NW 39th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73112) at 405.948.1770 | Rape Hotline: 405.943.7273 | Domestic Violence Hotline: 405.917.YWCA (9922)
