Worship Festival with Marcia McFee
I am writing to invite you to the BIG EVENT scheduled for Saturday, April 6, 8:30AM-3:30PM at
Avon Lake UCC
(32801 Electric Blvd, Avon Lake). This is a big event for four reasons:
- The presenter is Marcia McFee, an exceptional worship theologian and artist.
- It's about church growth!
- It's about growth for everyone, especially for pastors!
- It's about 2 Big Events a year!
I urge you to be part of the Worship Festival on April 6. If you are a pastor who designs worship experiences, if you are a music director, a layperson serving on the worship team creating worship celebrations in your church, you do not want to miss this opportunity.

...there's a new remittance form.
|
We've noticed that some giving is still being accompanied by the old remittance forms that reference the Western Reserve or Eastern Ohio Association. There is a new one that reflects our new name...Living Water Association. You can
download it here or from
the website. And just get rid of all those old forms!

Since 1983, the United Church Board for Ministerial Assistance (UCBMA), the charitable arm of the Pension Board-United Church of Christ, has provided direct support for retired and active authorized ministers and lay church employees in financial need, as well as leadership initiatives that promote sustainable ministry. The demand for UCBMA services will increase as authorized ministers and lay employees face a number of challenges in the coming years. In order to meet these challenges in the most effective, timely, and sustainable manner, the Pension Board/UCBMA is embarking on a $20,000,000 capital funds campaign. Generations of Service: Faith and Finance in Action.
