AT THE ANNUAL MEETING:
Pastoral Relations Office
Karen Frazzell and Phil Jackson will be staffing the
Pastoral Relations Office daily at room 104B. We will have copies of
all Church Information Forms (CIF's) for interested clergy to
look at, and we will have opportunities for several Pastoral
Search Committees to interview interested clergy. Both searching
clergy and searching churches need to check in early on
Saturday afternoon to make the most of this opportunity.
Pastoral Relations Office Open House
A special open house for Pastoral Search Committees
and searching clergy will be held in Room 104B, Saturday at 2:00.
Rev. Phil Jackson and his assistant, Karen Frazzell will both
be present to help you and answer any questions.
Clergy Family Punchbowl
The traditional Clergy Family Punchbowl will be held
Monday evening at 9:00 in the Red Cedar Room. Finger food,
assorted sodas and, of course, punch will be available late into the
evening in a room with plenty of room to stand or sit and visit. This is
a must do for our clergy and their families.

NEW EIGHTEEN MONTH NACCC DESK PLANNING AND
APPOINTMENT CALENDAR

(June 01 to Dec. 02) appointment and planning calendar at the annual
meeting in Lansing. Each member church will be sent a free copy this

of the DFM and trust that it will benefit your church.
2001 BOSTON SEMINAR PROMISES TO BE A GREAT
SUCCESS!

Congregationalism (August 23-26) appears almost full again. CFTS
students and several Clergy new to our Association will be in

Congregational Foundation For Theological Studies and is supported
by the Division For Ministry. Phil Jackson hosts the event, and the
