Family Reunion impressed with Disciples

From Associate Regional Minister Bill Spangler Dunning:

At the end of camp this past week, we hosted a family reunion in our lodge
room/Great Hall area. They came from across the country to be together as
family. We do a lot of reunions during the summer and it is always
exciting to play just a small part in assisting a family, divided by miles
and years, to gather together in a place that promotes wholeness. This
family came to us by way of a family member who had attended a scrap
booking retreat in the past and thought that the Christian Conference
Center would be a great place to host her family gathering. With accents
and multiple cultures represented they reconnected and, in a very real
sense, became family again. Though this would be enough of a story to
share I also wanted to share with you that as they were packing up several
of them commented, "You really act Christian around here. Some people just
have it in their name!" In a small way, we introduced this group of
people, who are now once again spread throughout the country, to our church
family called the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). This kind of
moment happens a lot on Holy Ground. Most, before arriving, have never
heard of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) but after a visit they
become family.

Thanks for letting me share
