Sunday, August 7, 2022, we will have Michael Davison in the pulpit!

            Rev. Michael Davison joined the Regional staff in 2010. He provides leadership and vision for our Region’s ministry for Children, Youth, Young Adults, and Summer Camp. He offers connections to a variety of resources, and to other Disciples youth ministry workers in our   Region and the denomination.

Michael earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies at Texas Christian University and a Master of Divinity degree from Brite Divinity School. He was ordained into Christian Ministry in 1991 at First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Lubbock, TX.

Working with the Regional staff, Michael manages the Region’s technology and communications systems. Alongside Pam Holt, he works with congregations searching for a minister and assists clergy with the Search and Call process.

Michael previously served on Regional staff in the Kentucky Region. He is married to Rev. Dr. Lisa W. Davison. When not spending time with Lisa, Michael enjoys golf, fishing, and tennis.

FUN FACT: Michael owns a blog, DavisonsDoodle.com, but he doesn’t draw.

Be sure to join us this Sunday at 8:00 or 10:00 with Rev. Davison or 11:15 for Coffee and Worship with a devotion led by Janet Jones.

FYI—-from July 31, 2022 until further notice all worship services will be in the chapel!!

Every month, we take homemade cookies, trail mix, fresh fruit and salty snacks to 80+ police officers and 80+ firefighters. When we deliver the snacks, we hear, “We can’t thank you enough for your support.” We respond, “We can’t thank you enough for keeping our community safe.” Your donations to Dollars for Mission make a difference.

MEN OF CENTRAL CHRISTIAN: We had a great to start our Men's Group at Central Christian. Nine men from Central met the Wee Too Restaurant for breakfast and fellowship. Stay tuned for the date of our next outing. We hope you will come and join us. Contact David Dell at 580-231-1416 if you have any questions.

The block party sponsored by 4 Disciples of Christ churches, Central Christian Church, Christian Church of the Covenant, University Place Christian and Iglesia Cristiana El Shaddai, was a big success.
