This Day: When Love Answers

On that first day of the week, grief and uncertainty were met with resurrection hope. Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and proclaimed, “I saw the Master!”, bearing witness to a love that answered her sorrow with new life. What began as confusion and loss became a world-changing encounter with the risen Christ.

“This day” was unlike any other. Love answered Peter’s searching. Love answered Mary’s longing. Love answered with presence, promise, and purpose.

Through the Easter Offering, we respond to God’s resurrection love by sharing in God’s work in the world. As we give, we proclaim with Mary: love still answers.

The Easter Offering, received by most congregations on March 29 and April 5, 2026, provides vital support for the general ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Your generous gift helps equip college students for leadership, strengthens global mission partnerships, sustains health and social service ministries, supports the formation of new congregations, cares for pastors and chaplains, and so much more.

Your gift has the power to transform lives and extend the love of Christ around the world. Thank you for making a difference.
