The "Save the Date" insert in your Annual Meeting packet lists the next Pilgrimage date incorrectly.  The correct dates are Oct. 15-16 (or 15-17 in the case of Pilgrimage 2).  They are listed on the home page of our website.  There is also a Pilgrimage page on the website.

 

 

RYE:  4 weeks and counting.  Regional Youth Event is just around the corner - July 14-18.  Remember, the registration date was extended to July 1 so there is still time for last minute registrations.  Just go to the Iowa UCC website, click on the youth page, and find the registration forms and information there.  All registrations go directly to the Missouri address found in the registration information.  Last minute fund raising for the trip, transportation details, and anticipation of the event are all a-buzz.  Keep the youth and their advisors in your prayers for this wonderful event.
