We are a Movement for Wholeness in a Fragmented World
We are a Movement for Wholeness in a Fragmented World

Your gifts to the 2023 Pentecost Offering, received this year on Sundays, May 21 and 28, help ensure our movement continues to embody the Disciples of Christ vision: to be and to share the Good News, witnessing, loving and serving from our doorsteps to the ends of the earth.

Half of your gift supports the local new church movement through your region’s ministry. The other half supports New Church Ministry efforts across the United States and Canada to equip, train, and empower new leaders. 

So, thank you. For participating in the new thing God is still doing — just as in the beginning.

Please give generously to the Pentecost Offering.

Palm Sunday celebration with Revs. Kate and Bruce Epperly!
Palm Sunday celebration with Revs. Kate and Bruce Epperly!

Saguaro Christian Church is “where it all began” for both Rev. Kate Epperly D. Min. and Rev. Bruce Epperly, Ph.D. who are this year celebrating 43 years joined in ministry and marriage! Kate was ordained at Saguaro Christian Church in 1979 and Bruce, in 1980. So too, their son, Matthew was born in Tucson and dedicated at Saguaro Christian in 1980! They and their extended family are traveling from Washington, D.C. with great thanksgiving and joy to join us in worship on Palm Sunday and celebrate afterwards during coffee hour.

Kate and Bruce will talk about their journey together as “mystics in action.” Kate and Bruce penned together an award winning book on this topic entitled: "Tending to the Holy: The Practice of the Presence of God in Ministry" (2009). Their mysticism is grounded in their ongoing practice and teaching of reiki healing touch. (see: The Energy of Love: Reiki and Christianity)

Bruce and Kate’s ministerial careers represent a commitment to the challenges and joys of bi-vocational team ministry and a commitment to holistic spirituality and health within the setting of congregational ministry and service
