To the Members and Friends of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the Capital Area,
This afternoon, as I was preparing a brief update on the declining health of our beloved sister in Christ, Mrs. Carey Meade Hobgood, I received word that Carey has passed away. Reverend Rich Plocinski, Pastor of Bethany Beach Christian Church in Delaware, shared the news by email: “At midnight last night, Carey Meade Hobgood was called home by God.”
Carey was the devoted wife of our former Interim-General Minister and President, and Regional Minister of the CCCA, the Reverend Dr. William Chris Hobgood. Together, they were the loving parents of Laura, Cary Lou, and their late son, Ben Hobgood.
The family is planning a memorial celebration of Carey’s life over Memorial Day weekend at Bethany Beach Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Bethany Beach, Delaware. Please hold the Hobgood family in your prayers as we give thanks for Carey’s life, her witness, and her enduring legacy of faith, love, and service.
In Christ’s peace,
Marcus Leathers, Regional Minister

Email Fraud Alert
There has been an uptick in fraudulent emails that appear as though they have come from clergy, staff, or leaders in this region. Please be vigilant; churches are particularly vulnerable to phishing emails requesting gift cards, asking that money be sent to the account of a “sick relative,” and other similar tactics that attempt to take advantage of compassion. For information on how to recognize and protect yourself from phishing scams, visit the FTC’s guide.
