DWF DISBURSES FUNDS The DWF, with the support of the entire congregation of First
Christian Church, raised a lot of money at the Fund Raisers held
in the last year! At our January Executive Board Meeting we
worked together making decisions as to disbursement of the
funds in a way that they would make an impact in our
community and church.
The following are the recipients of our funds:
$225.00 Quad City Interfaith is a coalition of
congregations and community groups that have come
together to build local leadership and address issues in the
Quad Cities region of Iowa and Illinois.
$225.00 River Bend Food Bank collects wholesome
donations of food for distribution to more than 300
charitable community organizations that support the hungry
in Eastern Iowa and western Illinois.
$225.00 PUNCH or People Uniting Neighbors and
Churches consists of seven churches that have come together
to see what concerns and needs are in the neighborhoods of
these churches and determine how local churches can help
and be of service to their neighbors.
$225.00 Hope at the Brick House gives hope to
individuals and families through spiritual, educational and
community based support.
These organizations are all non-profit and our church is in-
volved in each of them in some way.
$1437.00 Disciple Mission Fund is the common fund of
the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) supports 72
ministries that includes our congregation and reaches around
the globe.
$2,000.00 First Christian Church General Fund is the
fund that pays for the operation, salaries and outreach of our
church.
It is with a great deal of pride that the DWF is able to make
donations to these organizations.
Respectfully Submitted by
Laura McClurg, DWF President

Dear Church family,
THANK YOU to all
who helped with the church
play this year. I pray I don't
forget anyone; but here goes:
A special thank you to our
cast members: Gracie, Kyleigh, Chloe (our wise women), Lee
(Joseph and Herod's attendant), Hannah (Narrator), Jaz
(our angel), Jax (Herod and our sound man when we first
started practicing), Mason (Narrator and Shepherd), Cash,
Liam (our two other shepherds), Genevieve (Mary) and
Isabella (narrator). These kids had three practices in
November, two in December and one in January; plus some
were late or missed some because of learning to swim,
sleepovers, birthdays, and being sick. Hannah asked me
Sunday: "Dick you always cry at the end, did you cry this
year?" My answer: "When the narrators read One Solitary
Life and I saw everyone kneeling, yes." Note for you kids,
one adult said to me "I think this was the best one you have
ever put on." Kids thank you again for all your work and
putting up with me, I love you very much.
And now a special thank you to all our support
people and again I pray I don't forget anyone. Thank you to
Don, who stepped in at the last minute to run our sound,
Chad, who came in on a Saturday to figure out our sound
needs in early December, and Cindy who helped in many
different ways but especially Sunday when she turned off
the sound playing "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like
Christmas" loudly while we were trying to get in one more
rehearsal. Thank you to our heavenly choir Sandy, Kay Ann,
Nancy, Laura, Pastor Linda, and Jan Holmes (she practiced
but missed Sunday). You all added a lot to our play and I
know several were under a lot of stress during this time.
And thank you to our Susan who provides music and
sound effects and answered any requests with "No
problem." Thank you to Lisa who taught our kids to sign
the carol, "Away In A Manger" and gave many good
suggestions. Thank you to Michelle who helped me clean up
and put away costumes and props. And finally thank you to
Carol for helping in so many ways through all the planning
and work to put on this play this year.
