The opportunity to participate in this new matching gift challenge doubles the impact of financial contributions to the Church of the Brethren, if given through the end of the first quarter of this year. Gifts received by March 31, 2024, will be doubled.
Beginning Friday, Oct. 14, an online art auction to support the Ukrainian crisis response, overseen by Brethren Disaster Ministries, will open and receive bids for 180 donated art items.
Over the past few years, the Office of Mission Advancement and the Finance Office of the Church of the Brethren have been reviewing the process of acknowledging and receipting gifts made in support of all of our Core Ministries and independently-funded ministries.
