Earthquake Relief

If your church would like to donate to the Haiti or Chile Earthquake Relief Funds, simply send the funds to the Conference office with your normal remittance form. Please put the amount under OCWM and designate either Haiti Relief Fund or Chile Relief Fund.

 

J. Gantt photo.jpgThe Indiana-Kentucky Conference is moving away from the old, paper Mid-Month Mailing (MMM) and replacing it with an electronic newsletter, or e-newsletter. This new form of communication has many benefits to boast.

With an e-newsletter you will receive nearly instant delivery and more frequent communication. This change will save the Conference over $4,000 per year on paper and postage alone.

In order to follow the vision plan and move towards a focus on electronic communication, we need to have an e-mail contact for everyone who receives the MMM. We do not want to leave anyone out when we make this exciting transition.

If you wish to continue receiving the MMM in its new format, please contact Nikki Richards n.richards@ikcucc.org at the IKC office with your e-mail address. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated and will help improve communications with the Conference office.

Praying For Those Affected

By The Gulf Coast Oil Spill

A message from Florence Coppola, an executive with National Disaster Ministries, a part of UCC Wider Church Ministries:

The Florida Conference has asked their churches to participate in a conference-wide worship service either on the beach or in their own buildings on Aug. 22, 2010 to recognize and to pray for people impacted by the Gulf Coast oil spill.

All UCC churches across the country are invited to consider having a worship service or other type of event on August 22 (or on a date that would be appropriate to their church life) for people whose lives have been put on hold indefinitely due to the spill.

Stillspeaking Video

A new Stillspeaking commercial was launched on Fri., April 16. Called “The Language of God,” it invites people to think more deeply and broadly about the phrase “God is still speaking.”

Please take the time to view the video and reflect on where and how God is still speaking and share with those close to you through email, Facebook or Twitter.
