In Fall 1991, staff and leadership were preparing for the 38th annual meeting in Mansfield, Ohio. Reflecting on the theme, "Connections," Moderator Steve Hoth wrote, “The founding fathers of our National Association recognized the importance of inter-church connection between our individual members’ churches." Various speakers emphasized connections to other religions, other countries, other people.
Thirty years later, our Association continues to value connections: internally among our member churches as well as externally through partnerships with other traditions and organizations. Technology continues to introduce new avenues for exchanging ideas with one another. To strengthen links between individual Congregationalists and increase our visibility, we are expanding our presence on LinkedIn. Please follow the NACCC on your profile and invite others to do the same.
Congregational Church of Myanmar
Julie Robie, Missions Administrator
From Rev. Sa Do, Myanmar: Please pray for the war victims' families in Chin state. Due to the growing number of wars in Chin state, thousands of families flee to the jungle in order to find a safeguard. They need your prayers, please! The situation is unspeakable, terrible!
NACCC on Social Media
Tracy Bernhardt, Development & Communications Assistant
Do you follow the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches (NACCC) on social media? We hope so! Until now, our online presence has been limited to Facebook. We post several times a week, sharing important information, opportunities, events, and more. We hope you “like” us there. We like you!
If Facebook is not your cup of tea, you can now connect with us on LinkedIn. LinkedIn features a content stream in which people share and discuss important articles and updates (without the “noise” of Facebook). We hope our page will be a place to build a community of people with a shared interest in the NACCC who can connect and collaborate with each other and with us. We invite you to follow us on LinkedIn.
Choir Music Available
Berwick Congregational Church is offering to any church choir an extensive selection of sheet music for all seasons of the church year. Some selections have at least 10 copies available and will be sent for the cost of postage only. To learn more contact Kay Miller-Todd.
