Calendar 2017
Let's Gather!The PSWR Regional Gathering 2017 will be held on Saturday, October 21 at the First Christian Church of Pomona.The theme for this gathering is "Faithful in the Tension." If the committees and teams at your church are struggling to give vocabulary to, and find solutions for, the disconnect between an increasingly distrustful society and what Jesus would do, this is a Regional Gathering that you don't want to miss.Our worship team is working to receive our separatist cries and move us toward God's wholeness. There will be contemporary music at this event, as well as plenty of chances to sing the great hymns of tradition.Workshops will be locating where we are, and how we can, with prayer, plan to be more effective, during this time of such confusion.
The speaker for the 2017 Gathering will be the Reverend April Lewton. April is the Vice President of Development and Marketing for the National Benevolent Association of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Her work focuses on fostering and strengthening relationships among Disciples-local congregations, lay leaders, pastors, volunteers-as well as connecting through partnerships Disciples-related health and social service ministries. Before earning her Masters of Divinity Degree at the University of Chicago, April earned an undergraduate degree in Political Science and Religious Studies at Chapman University here in Southern California.

Women's Action Web (WAW)
Provide Disciples women with a leadership development event related to service and justice issues.
WAW participants build a faith community in which experience and learning leads to:
- Developing an awareness of common needs and possible solutions, both in the areas visited and in the participant’s local community;
- Developing skills to recognize needs in one’s local community;
- Learning how to link one’s congregation to existing programs and services;
- Developing skills to create ministry where none exists.
