Confronting Racial Injustice
President Veazey shares some of his own experience in awakening to and confronting racial injustice. His challenge focuses on how racism denies the Worth of All Persons, one of the church’s Enduring Principles. Racism operates in opposition to the reign of God on Earth. And if we are FOR the Worth of All Persons and the reign of God on Earth—as Jesus calls us to be—then we must speak and act AGAINST racism in all its subtle and not-so-subtle forms. |

eTithing is Community of Christ’s online platform for members and friends in the US to give Mission Tithes. Giving is safe, easy, and flexible, using desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices. You can make one-time or recurring contributions by bank withdrawal, and with credit and debit cards. When you set up a recurring contribution, you decide when giving starts and the frequency of recurrence (weekly, every two weeks, bimonthly, or monthly). Contribute anonymously or create an account. With an account, you can: view your giving history; add or edit bank account information; add a credit or debit card; change credit or debit card information; manage your recurring contribution; or make a one-time gift.
|
If you are a member of the Topeka Congregation, the Community of Christ membership registration system (Shelby) will automatically select Topeka as "My Home Congregation" if you enroll in eTithing.
These cards are ideal for parents and grandparents who tithe online through eTithing, but still want to model the importance of giving to children and grandchildren. Each card highlights all five Mission Initiatives. When the offering plate comes around, just drop in a card, and the kids will see the importance of giving. You will find the eTithing Offering Cards in the back of the sanctuary. Please ask the Deacon in Charge if you need assistance.
