Moral Mondays Memphis

July 9, 2025 by Brian Frederick-Gray

DHM is helping convene Moral Monday Memphis during General Assembly. Join us at Civic Center Plaza (across from the Convention Center) at Noon CT for a Moral Witness Against Attacks on Immigrant Communities and Against the Immoral Budget Bill.

As a direct action at the end of the event different groups will go to:

  1. Deliver a letter to the Memphis office of US Senator Marsha Blackburn;
  2. Deliver a letter to the Memphis office of US Senator Bill Hagerty;
  3. Join a “Stand in the Gap” Prayer Vigil a few blocks in front of the Memphis Immigration Court.

Join us for this moral witness during General Assembly.


Justice and Advocacy Ministries at Disciples Home Missions, Obra Hispana, and Week of Compassion are joining together to host a prayer vigil in front of the Immigration Courthouse in Memphis (just a few blocks away from the Convention Center).

We’ll walk together from the Moral Mondays Memphis event at Civic Center Plaza to the Immigration Court where we will offer prayers, stories, and a moral witness against the attacks on immigrant communities that we are seeing through mass deportations and detentions.

Learn more about the Standing in the Gap Event here.

Weightlifters

Jan 2, 2025
This season in our churches, homes, and schools feels heavy, but our collective capacity to strengthen one another and our communities is great. We are an extension of our magnificent Creator--one who emboldens, loves, and heals us toward a world that is unlike empire. The Realm of God moves by the Spirit in all living things, cultivating justice and harmony one precious load of anointing at a time. It is imperative we lift up and carry the power of the Holy Spirit in refreshing ways. Our legions of lay leaders fortify the church for every season, especially those seasons that dare us to follow Jesus. “Weightlifters” provides you with enough development materials for monthly laity training over the next year. Let us lean into intentional conditioning and be well!

The Jesus Way

Jan 1, 2022
The Jesus Way ministry is built on several core beliefs: 1) Each man is uniquely gifted by God; 2) God established relational principles and priorities foundational to the life God wills for each individual; 3) Each man is the center of his own “realm of influence.” Within this realm, he influences the lives of those around him. His influence can build up or tear down those within his realm; 4) As one who has confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior, each man holds citizenship in the realm of God; 5) Jesus shows us the way to live into those relational principles and priorities that build up rather than tear down as citizens in the realm of God.

A New Men’s Ministry for the men in your congregation

Welcome to The Jesus Way!

This ministry is built on several core beliefs.

  1. Each man is uniquely gifted by God.
  2. God established relational principles and priorities foundational to the life God wills for each individual.
  3. Each man is the center of his own “realm of influence.” Within this realm, he influences the lives of those around him. His influence can build up or tear down those within his realm.
  4. As one who has confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior, each man holds citizenship in the realm of God.
  5. Jesus shows us the way to live into those relational principles and priorities that build up rather than tear down as citizens in the realm of God.

This journey will enrich each man’s life and the lives of those around him. Each man will (re)discover God’s unique purpose for his life and what active citizenship in the realm of God can mean for his life.

Unforeseen Glory: A Journey with Simon of Cyrene

As you start the year, these resources will aid you in doing so thoughtfully. Simon of Cyrene was a North African man we find supporting the enfleshed church in Matthew 27, Mark 15, and Luke 23.

Unforeseen Glory: A Journey with Simon of Cyrene

January 1, 2022 by Brian Frederick-Gray

Week of the Laity downloadable resource. We celebrate the love and strength of laity across the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). It is our hope you will gather in safe ways to affirm lay leaders and edify their ministry in the world. As you start the year, these resources will aid you in doing so thoughtfully. Simon of Cyrene was a North African man we find supporting the enfleshed church in Matthew 27, Mark 15, and Luke 23. We only know him because of what he did for another. Let’s journey with Simon together!
