Disciples Health & Spiritual Wellness Retreat

July 28th, 2009 to July 29th, 2009

The Pension Fund is in the early stages of developing a health and spiritual wellness program designed
for Disciples clergy serving with their first congregation. The retreat is the first in a series of health and
wellness initiatives to be funded from the Heartbeats of Faith Fund income.

The Rev. Tod Iseminger, Minister of Leader Development, at Disciples Home Missions will lead the
planning for the 2-day event. The collaboration of the Pension Fund and DHM will allow Iseminger to
share his ministry gifts while enabling the Pension Fund to develop a compelling event. In announcing
his special call and partnership, James Hamlett, President of the Pension Fund offered special thanks to
DHM for their commitment to the health and well-being of clergy. “The willingness of DHM to
collaborate in this special emphasis for recently called clergy is a blessing to the Church,” said
Hamlett. Iseminger will spend approximately one-third of his mission/mission assignment developing
the retreat

The retreat is scheduled for July 28-29, in Indianapolis, immediately preceding the General Assembly
of the Christian Church. The Christian Church Health Care Benefit Trust, for which the Pension Fund
is trustee, will subsidize the retreat. Further information will be released in coming weeks regarding
the retreat.

The Pension Fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) serves the financial and health needs of
ministers and lay employees of the Church through the Pension Plan, Tax Deferred Savings,
Churchwide Health Care, Delta Dental insurance, Accident Insurance and retirement planning. It is one
of ten General Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
