National Gathering 2010 in San Diego, CACoalition’s National Gathering will be held July 14–17, 2010, in San Diego, CA. Mark your calendar and watch for registration and hotel reservation details in early 2010! National Gathering Theme: Any Body, Everybody, Christ’s BodyThe overall theme of this year’s Gathering will be Any Body, Everybody, Christ’s Body, following up on the Accessible to All resolution passed by General Synod in Atlanta, GA, calling on UCC congregations and instrumentalities to be physically, spiritually, and emotionally open and affirming to people with disabilities. We hope to address these issues specifically and in the wider context of living out God’s extravagant welcome. Additional workshop tracks being considered and developed are the ONA process for congregations and next steps, advocacy and empowerment, and families. The planners are also considering a multi-part Bible study separate from the workshops, events, and sessions of particular appeal to young adults, and more opportunities for casual community time. Attendees of the last four Gatherings have been surveyed online in order to help the Planning Committee develop a program responsive to your needs. Questions or suggestions about National Gathering can be directed to the Coalition office or to Planning Committee chairperson, Byron Adams, byronadams@verizon.net. National Gathering: Logo ContestThe National Gathering 2010 Planning Committee is sponsoring a contest to create a conference logo. The creator of the chosen design will receive a complimentary conference registration and meal package. The deadline for submission of logo designs is January 15th. Please contact committee chairperson, Byron Adams, byronadams@verizon.net, for more details. Geoffrey Black To Speak at National Gathering 2010
UCC Coalition Board Moderator, Kathy Church, has confirmed that UCC President and General Minister Geoffrey Black will speak at the Coalition’s National Gathering to be held in San Diego, July 14–17, 2010. Kathy commented, “the Coalition is very proud of our relationship with the denomination and are pleased that Rev. Black has committed to be with us in San Diego to continue our collaboration on social justice ministry.” Black’s confirmation is the kickoff to the Planning Committee’s efforts to develop an overall theme, determine workshop tracks and plan marketing efforts to get news about the content of Gathering out to the widest possible audience. The remainder of the fall will be devoted to those efforts. |
