MICHIGAN 1: SEND 111 YOUTH TO THE UCC NATIONAL YOUTH EVENT |
|
GOAL: $11,111 to the Michigan Conference will provide bus transport and scholarship assistance so any youth who wants to go to NYE can go!
The vision is for the kids to have an experience of unity and connection with youth from across the conference. We are planning lock-ins in four locations – Ann Arbor, Lansing, Grand Rapids and St. Joseph – the night before so that everyone can get to know each other. (We are in the planning stages - information about lock-in locations will be available soon.) Buses will then pick up teens and chaperones and travel to Purdue where the event is being held. One of the buses will drop off any teens who are participating in the Senior High camp at Talahi at the end of the event.
Jesus told us that where your treasure is there will your heart be also. Let’s make this investment in our own future. By sending our gifts for our youth we are solidifying our commitment to the future of the UCC and the vitality of our churches. Send a check to the conference office or click on our NEW DONATE button and choose the link to MICHIGAN 1. You can donate by credit card, debit card, or directly from your bank account by following the prompts.
Together we can fill our buses and send our kids on the adventure of a lifetime.

The Michigan Conference UCC Calls a Conference Minister |
|
The Rev. Dr. Campbell Lovett is Called to be Conference Minister for the Michigan Conference UCC
On March 3, 2012, the Rev. Dr. Campbell Lovett was elected to be the new Conference Minister of the Michigan Conference UCC. Over 150 members of the Conference from all six (6) Associations attended the Special Meeting held for this purpose at St. Stephen's Community Church, United Church of Christ in Lansing. We heard Rev. Lovett express his commitment to Christ, Church, and a United community of faith.
Rev. Lovett will officially join our Michigan Conference on June 15th, 2012.
Rev. Dr. Lovett comes to Michigan from Rhode Island where he served as Senior Minister of Newman Congregational United Church of Christ for fifteen (15) years. Highlights of his ministry include developing a community food pantry and the successful completion of a three-year process leading to the congregation's becoming Open and Affirming (ONA). Beyond the local church, he has served as Chair of the Church and Ministry Committee; member of the UCC Executive Council; and a Board member and President of the InterValley Project, a faith-based organizing network. Campbell and his wife Eileen have two grown sons, Samuel and Nathan.
