Children Worship & Wonder
An exciting way to approach faith formation with children!

~ A new worship experience for children ages 3-12 ~
In Children Worship & Wonder children hear Bible stories and
learn about God while experiencing the presence of God.
The stories of God are told in such a way that allows listeners
to enter into the stories and form responses out of their own
experiences. They learn the meaning of church traditions
and have opportunities to participate in worship practices.
For more detailed
information CLICK HERE.
See our new CW&W Button on the left side!

To register, contact the Children Worship & Wonder leader,
Michelle Brown, at DOCMICHELLE {at} aol {dot} com.

DisciplesWorld is an independent news journal for
the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) based in
Indianapolis, Indiana. Incorporated in 2002, it is managed by a
12-member board of directors. The journal is circulated across
the United States to both churches and private homes.
DisciplesWorld is a successor to The Disciple, the
Church's official magazine published by the Christian Board of
Publication until it was discontinued in early 2002 for
financial reasons.
The role of journals in the Christian Church (Disciples of
Christ) cannot be understated. Beginning with the publication of
The Christian Baptist by Alexander Campbell in 1823,
followed by The Millennial Harbinger, World Call, and
others, journals have played a major role in shaping the thought
and dialog of the movement from which the Disciples emerged.
DisciplesWorld seeks to keep that publishing
tradition alive. Publishing articles on a wide variety of issues
for the church, the journal prompts some lively discussions
among members across the entire church. As an independent
journal, it is free to explore many points of view. Pastor
Allen has had several articles printed in its pages, and gladly
recommends it for all leaders and members of Franklin Circle
Christian Church. A subscription form is included in the October
issue of The Messenger, or by clicking the link below.
