Dear Churches of the Illinois South Conference,

 

We know it’s only July, but the planning for our 2024 Annual Meeting/60th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, October 19, is in full swing.  So, we seek your help preparing for our Jubilee Joy celebration.

Here are the top 5 ways you can help.

1. Please email a list of the names and contact information of voting delegates who will be representing your church at the Annual Meeting to Julie Riechmann at jriechmann@iscucc.org by noon on Monday, July 29. (Your church is entitled to 3 lay voting delegates. In addition, the authorized UCC clergy from your church are also voting delegates.)

2. Please send up to 3 photos of your church being Church, whether in fellowship, celebration or being the hands and feet of God, to Missy at mloyet@iscucc.org by noon on Wednesday, July 31, for our slide show presentation.

3. Register your pastors and delegates. Registration is now open and will close at noon on Friday, September 27. Here is the Registration form 2024 Annual Meeting and the Jubilee Joy Invite Flyer for your church's bulletin boards, worship bulletin inserts, newsletter, website, and Facebook page.

4. Share the information about the afternoon’s 60th Anniversary celebration with all those you would like to invite to register and attend. The invitation for the afternoon Jubilee Joy celebration is HERE, and you are welcome to share it.

5. Stay tuned for more details on how your church can participate in the festivities.
