HELP THE NA OFFICE HELP YOU!

Email us at: naccc@naccc.org
with your suggestions.

The NA office receives many checks from churches each week. Because of this, please note in the memo section the fund to which the check is to be credited. We want your gift to support the cause your church is interested in.

We maintain a church information database, which includes minister’s name, moderator’s name, email contact, etc. These details help us to send pertinent information to the appropriate person. Please send any changes to naccc@naccc.org.

In the last few years, we have sent packets of information to each church, in late winter and early fall. Included have been materials such as pamphlets from Church Mutual; Congregational Investment Trust; national and international Missionary needs; and notices of conferences, such as the Youth Leaders Retreat. Is this information helpful to you? Please let us know!

 

 

 

TSUNAMI RELIEF
UPDATE

Thank you to all churches and individuals who have so generously donated to One Great Hour of Sharing-Tsunami Relief. To date, over $95,000 has been received, from over 30 churches and many individuals. Go to www.naccc.org for continuing updates from Rev. Kenaz Solomon, and the Travancore Church Council, who are distributing funds. Also, look for the March-April issue of News and Needs of the Missionary Society.

 

THE WELCOME CENTER APPROACH TO
HOSPITALITY

Do you want to share the Gospel with the stranger, the neighbor, the person who does not know the Christian life, or the Congregational tradition? Pay attention to the environment of your Church. Signage, program and ministry information, mission news, copies of sermons, helpful pastoral care information (prayer request cards, referral services, visitation information, etc), laity involvement, fresh attractive displays of information, and, most importantly, a welcome smile from a person when strangers enter your doors – these are the marks of Christian hospitality.

  A NEW BOOK FROM HARRY BUTMAN

Dr. Harry R. Butman, a Founder of the NACCC, pastor emeritus of A new book by Harry R. Butman, D.D., pastor emeritus of First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, and a founder of the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches.

Dr. Butman has just published a new book, Why Do Church People Fight? In his Foreword, Dr. Butman remarks that being asked to write a book on such a topic challenged him to begin serious biblical research into the topic. The results of his study are intertwined with over the experiences of over 70 years of ministry, making this book a rewarding answer to the title question.
