Important message from Interim Conference Minister

 

It is with deep regret that the Board of Directors of VISION INC. accepted the resignation of Program Director,

Since 2005 Marcia has been the face of all VISION programming. She has worked both joyfully and tirelessly bringing people of all ages together from across the Conference. She has facilitated trainings and workshops, the Michigan, Regional, and National Youth Events, and coordinated exchanges and choir trips as part of our global partnerships. She has recruited volunteers; trained CIT’s, organized camping programs, and been a presence in congregations and Association meetings. Marcia brought her numerous skills to all aspects of the position including a marketing plan with brochures, DVD’s and a speaker’s bureau.

Marcia’s last day in the office will be July 16. You will, however, see her at Synod where she has taken on the coordination of the Children’s Program. You will also see her at the Annual Meeting. When you see her, thank her for what she has brought to the Michigan Conference.

Marcia Beer.

Fundraising for Camp Talahi

 
Here are links to two sites that have started raising money for camp.
 
Facebook Cause Page: To date we have raised $280. Any money raised will be sent monthy to the E.L. office. 5% is taken from this amount for processing and other fees. I am not sure if non-facebook members can donate...someone give it a shot, perhaps?
 
 
 
GoodSearch:
Go to www.GoodSearch.com instead of Google. Michigan Conference United Church of Christ is now listed as a recipient for searches. We will receive a penny for each search that is done.

Go to the webpage, set Michigan Conference United Church of Christ as your recipient, and search on!

You can also set your search box in the top right corner of your web browser to use goodsearch automatically, which I highly recommend doing. You can find instructions for that here: http://www.goodsearch.com/toolba... .

If we can get enough people doing this, the amount will add up - this money will be sent in a check once a year to the office.

  • If your church is providing financial help.  Pay your balance less what the church is providing.  This amount varies church to church so please check with your camp coordinator or pastor.  VISION will provide each church with a report which includes campers name, camp, and remaining balance.  Churches will then send a check to MCUCC,VISION for the balance.  A financial report will be generated April 1, May 1, and June 1 and sent via e-mail to congregations
