SPECIAL

For the first time in memory, The Ministers Assistance and

replenished. Any contributions to this fund at this time are most
welcome.
The Church Services Commission is pleased to
offer The Cambridge Platform _ a translation in modern
English by the Reverend Bruce Pratt. Please contact the

opportunity to do so this year. If you, or your congregation,
would like to sponsor partially sponsor either the Bible Lecturer
($5000) or the Congregational Lecturer ($1500) please contact
Carrie Dahm at the NA office.
RECENT YEARBOOK CHANGES
We apologize for the omission of the Rev. Dr. Patrick
Shelley, the Rev. Penelope Swartz, and the Rev. Dr. Peggy
Riethmiller from the list of ministers in the back of the 2003
Yearbook. An up-to-date listing of Yearbook changes is available
on the NACCC worksite at: www.nachurch.org
CHRISTMAS THOUGHT
We received many Christmas cards and greetings from people
during these holidays. One in particular (in the Mt. Dora
"Tidings" newsletter) was written by Rev. Joe Babcock. We pass it
on for your edification, even though Christmas Day has passed.
Millions are missing the point of Christmas
Christ came to give God new visibility
Christ came to give people new possibilities
Christ came to give grace new immensity
Christ came to give glory a new identity |
