Dog Days of Summer greetings, Florida UCC members:
Here is the link to the August-September issue of Celebrate Florida.
Some articles of possible interest:
General Synod 33 (pages 1-2 and 33-34)
The new Conference staffing model (page 3)
Annual Gathering of the Conference (page 4)
“Finding Refuge in Polk County” (page 8)
“Emerging from the Bubble” (pages 20-22)
3 Great Loves (pages 18-19)
and Across Florida (pages 24-27)
As always, the issue contains lots of links to helpful resources and programming ideas you may wish to consider adopting or adapting in your own congregation. Please look through this issue to read how COVID has not stopped our Florida congregations from “being church.”
If we’ve not been hearing from you, please make sure we’re on the mailing list for your newsletter and e-blasts (rickcarson1@gmail.com) — simple and much appreciated.
We especially welcome your providing the Celebrate Florida link information to church members via your newsletters, e-communications and on your website.
Blessings,
Rick Carson
