Week of Compassion Breakfast
First Christian Church 112 East College Street, Georgetown, KY, United StatesFirst Christian Church, DOC Georgetown, traditionally claims February as our Month of Compassion, with the last Sunday designated as Week of Compassion. As the relief, refugee, and development mission fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Week of Compassion works with partners to alleviate suffering throughout the world. Further information about Week of Compassion can be found at: weekofcompassion.org. Throughout February, mission moments will be shared during each Sunday worship service. On the last Sunday, February 26, we will have a breakfast and program starting at 9:45 in the fellowship hall, followed by collection of the offering for Week of Compassion during the worship service. The Outreach Committee hopes all can attend the breakfast and give to the week of compassion offering on Sunday, February 26.
