24 MONTH PLANNING CALENDAR FOR 2005-2006
The new planning calendar is available for purchase.  The cost is $8.00 and can be ordered by calling Debbie Kaczmarski at the NA Office at 1-800-262-1620, Ext. 18 or by sending an e-mail to dkaczmarski@naccc.org.  The format is similar to last year's with the week beginning with Sunday and all of the other features with a couple of new additions.  The calendar is sponsored by the Division of Ministry.  Cheryl Stapleton has done a marvelous job of creating the calendar.  From the response we've received from other years and those orders we've already received, we are confident that the calendar is a definite help in planning the year's activities in our churches for the next two years.

FREDERICK FAGLEY AWARD
The Congregational Christian Historical Society has awarded Second Congregational Church, of Warren, ME, an honorable mention for their anniversary booklet Celebrating 175 Years.  The Society recognizes anniversary churches, which, in their opinion, create superior programs, printed historical materials, and/or anniversary projects.  Qualifying churches are in two categories: those churches with less than 350 members, and those with more than 350 members.  Congratulations to Warren!
