New Day for Christians can be used effectively for established small groups or new small groups—even as an opening meditation source.


New Day for Christians magazine offers the perfect balance of biblical reflection, stories from a recent trip taken by Disciples of Christ Regional Ministers to Africa, and of the connection that our congregations have to Christians making a difference in the lives of their communities in their daily walks of faith in North America and beyond.


Included in the magazine is a section that explains how to use the magazine for various types of group settings.

An online Leader’s Guide is also available to assist you in working with small groups.


“Global Ministries, a common witness of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ, is grateful for the partnership that we share with Chalice Press in the New Day for Christians publication. We are excited about the continued and expanded opportunity of sharing the story of God's mission in a part of the world through this valuable resource. This first issue which focuses on the Congo is particularly dear to my heart since I had the privilege of visiting our Disciples and UCC partners in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo this past year. What a vibrant church with so many gifts to share with us! I know you will appreciate the stories, Bible studies and resources that you will find in this issue. Make sure you tell your friends and spread the word about this magazine. And thanks for your part in helping us Be a Global Mission Church!”
