Pine Ridge Reservation mission trip - update from Pastor Carol

7/7/2010

0 Comments

 
Dear Church Friends,

I've just been notified by Rev. Keith Titus that the organizational meeting for the October2-8 Re-Member adult mission trip to Pine Ridge Reservation has been scheduled for3 pm on Sunday, August 1 at Gaylord First Congregational Church (218 W. 2nd Street, 1 block south of Main at corner of Old-27). Anyone interested in participating must have submitted the $350 registration fee and a completed 2010 Registration Agreement to me a week in advance of that meeting. 

Specifically, please review the logistical and cultural background information at the following link: 
http://www.re-member.org/docs/2010%20Registration%20Packet.pdf and complete the registration forms on pages 12 and 14-15: Form 2(a) Adult Medical, Form 3 Release and Waiver of Liability, and Form 4 Skills Assessment. These forms and the registration fee should be routed through me, so that I can then complete the Group Organizer paperwork and submit all of our group's paperwork together to Re-Member.

There are still scholarships available to cover registrations fees for two individuals. Please contact me right away if you are interested in applying for one.

I hope that you will prayerfully consider this exciting opportunity to experience the cultural richness of our Lakota sisters and brothers and be of practical help with their ministries.

If you have any questions or concerns about the trip, please feel free to contact me.

Grace & Peace,
Pastor Carol

Pastor Carol's installation

7/4/2010

0 Comments

 
On Sunday, July 25th, The United Northern Association will help us officially install Rev. Carol Reynolds as our pastor and teacher. This is an important step that marks the conclusion of a process that began with the formation of a Search Committee so many months ago. The Association takes the lead in this ceremony because a pastor’s official standing as an ordained minister of the UCC rests with the association.

 

Very shortly we will be sending out invitations to all our members and friends, as well as other clergy in the Cadillac area, all the churches in the United Northern Association, representatives from the Michigan Conference, and Pastor Carol’s family and friends.

 

The Service of Installation will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon (to allow folks from distant churches to get here), with supper to follow.

 

We’ll need lots of help to prepare for this special day, so if you’d like to be involved, please contact Pastor Carol or Penny Phelps.
