New year greetings, Florida UCC:

Please set aside some time to read about what has been taking place or will be happening among the brothers and sisters in our larger church family. We are in covenant with one another, and one way to demonstrate our caring is through this sharing.
As always, this issue is full of great ideas and stories to inspire ministries in your congregation. Here’s some of what is inside this edition:
- How our churches observed Holy Week
- Lots of 3 Great Loves activity
- Protesting migrant children detention in Homestead
- Preparing for General Synod in Milwaukee
- Unique ministries, creative concepts, original outreach
- So, what does a Regional Minister do?
- Earth Day observances and activities
- It’s the “H” word time again — be prepared (prayers included!)
Thanks to all those churches that share information about what has been happening in their congregations. Please make sure we’re on the mailing list for your newsletter and e-blasts and copy us with your Facebook postings (celebrateflorida@uccfla.org). Yes, we do want to know what you are doing — there is always room for more good news
We especially appreciate your providing the Celebrate Florida link information to church members via your Sunday bulletin, newsletters, e-communications and on your website. Please help spread all the good news about the United Church of Christ in Florida among your church members.
Have a SAFE summer!
