All Disciples Sing 2025 is October 19!
Join us for the 27th West Area All Disciples Sing & Annual Meeting at 4PM Central on Sunday, October 19, at First Christian Church in Madisonville. This event is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community of faith to lift our voices in thanksgiving for all that God has done among us.
The West Area All Disciples Sing & Annual Meeting is more that just a musical gathering; it is a chance for West Area churches to connect, share, and strengthen our bonds. As is our tradition, our worship will include a time of offering for Camp Kum-Ba-Ya. We hope that the All Disciples Sing will feature a diverse lineup of choirs and musicians from across our congregations, each bringing their unique style, talents, and spirit to the celebration. Based on Mark 14:22-26, this year’s theme is, “Gather Us In: Songs Around the Lord’s Table.” First Christian Madisonville will host a hospitality reception following worship.
See the letter below for details on how your church’s musicians might participate in worship.

We are so thankful for the generosity we have experienced in the wake of the tornadoes. Your gifts to the Week of Compassion and to the West Area Tornado Fund have allowed impacted members to receive Household Solidarity Grants and churches to receive Congregational and Community Solidarity Grants. Thank you for your support of Week of Compassion and of our West Area churches and communities.
