Representatives of our church will journey to St. Petersburg, Fla., on June 23-26 for the 53rd annual meeting of the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches (NACCC). The highlight of this year’s gathering will be the long-awaited introduction of our new hymnal Songs for a Pilgrim People and so the meeting this year is themed “Sing to the Lord a New Song.”
Attending will be our incoming moderator Julie Anheuser who will serve as our church’s delegate to the voting assembly. Rev. Sam Schaal serves on the NA leadership team on the Communication Services Committee. He and Dr. Peay will also be alternate delegates. Rev. Brink will be with the younger folk at the meeting of the NAPF (National Association Pilgrim Fellowship for high schoolers) and HOPE (Heritage of Pilgrim Endeavor for college students) which is meeting at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana this year.
