COOKIES!

We are in need of COOKIES!!

Similar to General Synod fashion, the Annual Meeting Planning Committee thought it would be wonderful if every church represented at the Annual Meeting this year, could provide 4 dozen cookies to share.  These will be served with coffee during our 2-day event at multiple areas around our host church.  Please bring your cookies in a 4-qt (shoe box size) container, with a flat lid - for easy stacking.  We thank you very much for your baking efforts!

Immanuel UCC-Detroit Scholarship Award

Immanuel Scholarship News:

 

Deadline for applications for the Immanuel UCC-Detroit Scholarship is April 15th.  This application can be downloaded here.

 

It was the desire of Immanuel United Church of Christ - Detroit, as it was disbanding, to award scholarships for seminary students preparing for Ordination and Service in the United Church of Christ.  Scholarship funds are available through an endowment fund provided by Immanuel United Church of Christ - Detroit bya resolution adopted at a Special Congregational Meeting held on November 14, 1999.  The fund is disbursed in accordance with the policies and practices of the Michigan Conference of the United Church of Christ.  The Spiritual Discernment Mission Area Team (SDMAT) currently is responsible for selecting recipients and has set April 15th as the annual deadline, beginning immediately (2010).  Scholarships will be awarded at the June meeting of the SDMAT so that payments to students' seminaries may be given at the beginning of Fall semesters. 

 

To qualify an applicant must meet the following criteria:

 

*Be a member of a United Church of Christ congregation with the Michigan Conference

*Be listed as a Member in Discernment of one of the Associations of the Michigan Conference

*Be enrolled in an accredited theological seminary recognized by the United Church of Christ

*Be committed to becoming a parish pastor with ordained minister standing in the United Church of Christ

*Write a paper showing knowledge about and appreciation for the history of Immanuel United Church of Christ - Detroit

 

A scholarship may be used for tuition, room, board, fees and books, with the amount awarded made payable directly to the seminary where the student is enrolled.  Depending on the amount available, more than one scholarship may be awarded each year.  Also, a scholarship recipient may request additional funds in succeeding years.

 

A copy of the booklet entitled A History of Immanuel United Church of Christ - Detroit, Michigan is available by contacting Elsie Clagget, Administrative Assistant, at 517-332-3511 x204.

Headlines from the United Church of Christ
  • Study shows financial health of congregations impacts vitality
    A new study on congregational health by historically UCC-related Hartford Seminary shows greater spiritual vitality exists in financially healthy congregations. Conversely, the worse the financial health of a congregation, the more likely it is to experience conflict.
  • Tsunami scare fails to halt Hawaii church's rededication
    Punctuated by disaster warning sirens the morning of Feb. 27, 2010, the blowing of the conch shell at Kalahikiola Congregational UCC signaled the start of the rededication celebration.
  • Church unity movement may have found 'a new way forward'
    The difficult road to unity that began with the formation of the Consultation on Church Union (COCU) in 1962, and seemed to some observers on the verge of collapse just two years ago, appears to be back on track after a summit meeting of the heads of 11 denominations Feb. 17 in Baltimore.
