FIFTY WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE
As part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the
NACCC, the Church Services Commission is sponsoring an opportunity
to recognize and appreciate the contributions of fifty outstanding
supporters of the Congregational Way of Life. We are quick
to acknowledge that there are many, many more than fifty people
who have made a difference in our Association during its long and
interesting history. We are looking for those
extraordinary fifty; those who spark a memory; those who truly
have "made a difference." This
project will take the form of a booklet. This endeavor is not to be
considered a contest, rather an outlet for friends and colleagues to affirm the
efforts of these individuals. There are no real guidelines. The only
requisite is that the person being nominated has contributed to the success of
the NACCC in some way. The nominee may be layperson or clergy, living or
dead. The nomination description will be used as the text for the booklet,
and may be edited. A letter of nomination should be submitted
to the NACCC by December 1, 2004 to: Church Services Commission
