Our church camp, Disciples Crossing in Athens, has a full slate of camps for children, youth, and families available this summer. To provide an incentive to go to camp, UCC automatically covers half of the cost of the early bird price for every participant from our church. That means that a week-long camp with a regular price of $370 is only $200 with the UCC supplement. For a 2-page document with dates and descriptions for all the camps, click here. (Also, please remember that UCC has scholarships available upon request for any camp. We can cover the cost of any camp up to the full early bird price - just select the scholarship amount you need on the UCC camp registration.)

 

Signing up for summer camps this year is a two step process: Go to uccyouth.org/camps to sign up with UCC and pay for the camp, then you will automatically be forwarded to disciplescrossing.org to complete Disciples Crossing's registration and health forms. The UCC discount and any parking funds or scholarship monies can be selected on UCC's registration and payment page before proceeding to the camp website. Please be sure to complete the sign up process with UCC and Disciples Crossing to ensure you are fully registered for camp.

 

Michael Yandell, our Assistant Minister for High School, will be graduating from Brite Divinity School tomorrow with his Master of Divinity degree and has been approved for ordination to ministry by the Christian Church in Tennessee, where his home church is located. Michael's service of ordination to Christian ministry will take place here at University Christian Church this Saturday, May 16 at 3 p.m. This service provides an opportunity for us to recognize Michael's calling, applaud the work he has done to answer that call, pray God's blessing on his ministry, and present him with "signs of the office" - symbolic gifts that correspond to the various roles he will fulfill as an ordained minister.

Please make plans to attend this meaningful worship service. It's a great opportunity to show Michael our love and support, and to wish him well as he and Amy move to Atlanta where he will begin a PhD program at Emory University this summer.
