TEAM CONSIDERS WAYS TO ENCOURAGE
NEW ATTENDEES AT AM
An appointed team of enthusiastic leaders is considering
suggestions from a variety of sources as to how we might
encourage more attendees at the Annual Meetings. The team,
composed of Rev. Stuart Merkel, Claudia Kniefel, Rev. Wendy Van
Tassel, and Dr. Dewey Gierke hopes to have some suggestions for
the Executive Committee by the June Meeting. If you have
suggestions for the team please contact individuals within it,
or Carrie Dahm, the host of their on-line worksite.

INTERNATIONAL
CONGREGATIONAL JOURNAL
Congregationalism is alive and well all around the world, and
the proof is the International Congregational Journal(ICJ).
The International Congregational Fellowship Theological
Commission (ICFTC), with The Congregational Press of the NACCC,
announces the fourth volume of the International Congregational
Journal. The issue offers articles dealing with the Covenant and
the Congregational theology of the church. The February issue
will deal with aspects of worship. The ICJ reflects the
theology, scholarship, liturgy, spirituality and history of
Congregationalism. Its goal is to provide a forum for
institutions, fellowships and individuals who wish to study,
continue and to expand the fruits of this “Way” of being and
doing church.
A one-year subscription to the ICJ is $30 for individuals or for
churches. It is an ideal addition to your church library or as a
gift for your minister. To subscribe or for inquiries or
questions, please contact the Coordinating Secretary:

DO YOU OUTLINE STITCH?
Not a term we generally use, but we have been gifted the
hospitality tablecloth of Donna Alexander who, for years, had
Congregational guests in her and John’s home sign their name to
a tablecloth. Donna would then “outline stitch” each name to
give it permanency. At the recent Christmas Open house at the NA
office, the staff invited members of area Churches to sign it.
With several new names, we need a volunteer who would be willing
to stitch the names to the tablecloth.
A Big Thank You!
Church Services Commission sends its thanks to all churches
and individuals who purchased a 2005 Advent Devotional. Nearly
4600 booklets were sold! Thank you!
