Our featured guest will be an presentation by Rev. Dr. Bob Seymour who will be speaking on the topic:
Chapel Hill in the 60’s

Through all of this decade Rev. Seymour was Senior Minister at Binkley and emerging as a significant community leader in the Chapel Hill community. Come be a part of this special time for sharing and learning. We will also enjoy Sunrise biscuits, cinnamon rolls, coffee, and a time of prayer and fellowship together. The Men of Binkley is open to all who identify as male and are 18 or older. We welcome your participation and the opportunity to strengthen the relationships and bonds of all men at Binkley.

Request for Proposals for Endowment Fund Grants
LAST CHANCE FOR SUBMISSIONS
The Binkley Endowment Fund produces income that is to be made available for three specific uses:
1. To provide support for special outreach ministries
2. To supplement support for special projects and programs, and
3. To provide for emergency needs of the physical plant.
The Endowment Committee is seeking proposals for use of income generated for use in 2018. Requests can be made by any church board or committee or from individual church members. The amount of funds available for 2018 is approximately $11,000.
Proposals should include a statement of the purpose of the request (one or two paragraphs should be sufficient), explanation of how the request meets one or more of the three allowed uses listed above, and the amount of the request. Requests should be submitted by the end of April and sent to the Endowment Committee through the church office. The committee will then review the requests and make formal recommendations to the Church Council. Ordinarily, funds must be spent or obligated prior to the end of the calendar year.

the NC Sanctuary Coalition. The Coalition’s immediate goals are to:
§ Coordinate resources, information, best practices and support for congregations already offering sanctuary as well as those ready to offer sanctuary;
§ Recruit significantly more churches to offer sanctuary or support others offering sanctuary;
§ Identify congregations that want to accompany or support immigrants facing deportation; and
§ Support immigrant-led groups who are the ones that know the most about what is really going on in their world.
Coalition partners include the NC Council of Churches, the American Friends Service Committee, and Church World Services. To learn more, please see Ashley Nissler or Dale Osborne.
