On February 25, 2018, the Alliance family will again celebrate our shared passion for church planting during Church-Planting Sunday.

2017 Church Annual Report
Due
On January 10, a letter from Terry Smith, vice president for Church Ministries, along with instructions for preparing the 2017 Local Alliance Church Annual Report, was e-mailed to each lead pastor. The deadline for churches to complete the Annual Report is February 21.
Helpful Hints
1. The hard-copy English and Spanish "Instructions" and "Worksheets" may be found in the upper right- hand corner of the program under "How-To-Docs" (near the "Sign Out" area).
2.
Developing churches do not have membership; they will have only adherents, which is entered on line 4. Accredited churches have members and adherents.

Thanking Our Churches
During the week of January 15, churches received a mailing thanking them for their generous support of Alliance ministries in 2017. It contained a personalized report detailing each church's 2017 giving. The report is prepared in bulletin-insert format so church leaders can easily copy and distribute it to their congregations. Also enclosed is a brief video segment featuring several international workers describing specific things that have been accomplished for the cause of Christ in 2017 because of the financial partnership of the U.S. Alliance family.
Thank you for your role in encouraging your congregation in their generous giving to Alliance ministries!

New Undergraduate Student Scholarship
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.- Introducing the Alliance Family New Undergraduate Student Scholarship. On behalf of U.S. Alliance Church Ministries, the Alliance Youth Office affirms its utmost confidence in our Alliance educational institutions and their ability to equip students for lives that honor Jesus Christ and fruitful careers that reflect His character. Therefore, it is our desire that Alliance students be given the opportunity to experience the affirmation and spiritual vitality of our Alliance college campuses. To help make this possible, The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) is awarding 10 scholarships of $1,000 each to qualifying high school students (grades 10-12).
Any student planning to attend an Alliance undergraduate institution of his or her choice is eligible to be nominated to receive a scholarship, which would be applied to the fall semester of his or her freshman year. In order to qualify, the student must be a U.S. citizen and an active attender of a C&MA church at the time they receive and activate the awarded scholarship.
If a student you know is planning to attend an Alliance institution, visit AllianceYouth.com to complete and submit an online student nomination form. Only one submission per student will be accepted. All submissions must be received by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, February 27, 2018. 10 winning recipients will be drawn and notified March 1-7. Please make sure nomination forms are completed thoroughly and accurately, as information on the form will be crucial in contacting scholarship recipients.
