IS
THIS YOUR FIRST ANNUAL MEETING?
Come
to the orientation scheduled for Saturday, at 11:00am
In the
same way that you can only watch a movie for the "first
time" once, so it is with an NACCC Annual Meeting. We want
you to feel welcome. To that end, we will make every effort
to provide you with all the information you need to get
started. We'd like to pair you with a "seasoned" NACCCer in
order to help you navigate the meeting and to meet other
people as well. Ideally, we will match you with someone from
your own regional Congregational fellowship so that you can
have an ongoing connection. We want you and your church to
experience the NACCC at its best. We have so much to
offer. Our task is to help you find the ways that we can
serve you and your church better.
There are lots of things going on - sometimes
simultaneously! If you are a delegate, you have special
responsibilities regarding attending and being involved in
the business meetings. There are also a multitude of
learning events, displays, and opportunities to see and
benefit from who we are as the NACCC and to translate that
to who you (pl.) as a local, gathered congregation.
Most of all, we want you to engage and experience all that
the Annual Meeting has to offer. "Fellowship" is one of our
identifying traits - so don't be afraid to ask questions -
of anyone!!! We want to make you feel like you are a part of
the family - our Congregational family - the family of NACCC
- and most important of all, the family of the living and
true God.
Come sing a new song to the Lord! |
