1. REgister, REgister, REgister!:  In order for there to be a gathering of resources and a time for renewal, we need to see you there!  If you have registered yet, take a minute right now to let us know you're coming.  There are so many ways to help you do this!  You can follow the link on the CCNC-N homepage to electronic registration.  You can join the Regional Office Facebook page (here's the link:  https://www.facebook.com/RO.CCNCN) and find information there, or you can ask your local pastor for a hard copy of the registration form.  We prefer that you register electronically if you can!  Look for sign up tables at the Women's Spring Revival and Toni Bynum's Installation.
2. Okay, I registered, where do I stay when I'm in town?  There is a block of 50 rooms reserved at the Hilton Arden West (2200 Harvard St, Sacramento, CA 95815) (916) 922-4700.  A standard double room is $99/night.  Call the hotel, let them know that you're with The Christian Churches of Northern California/Nevada and they will make sure your comfortable!  The hotel is about 5 miles from Arden Christian Church and has many amenities for you to enjoy.  Check them out here.
3. We Need You!  Do you have an amazing ministry that you want to share?  Do you have a talent that you want to teach people?  If you answered yes, we would love to talk with you about sharing these things in one of our Saturday afternoon workshops.  Contact Laura Pierson at (916) 425-3569 or frzzled@gmail.com to share your idea!
4. Do you like technology?  We live in a media savvy world.  We hope to incorporate media throughout our weekend, and we are looking for a technologically talented individual who is willing to operate Powerpoint, video presentations, and be available to troubleshoot tech troubles.  If you're the one for the job, contact Laura Pierson.

CCNC-N Trip to Republic of the Congo

Good news! We finally have a date for sending a small group to visit with our brothers and sisters in the Republic of the Congo. For several years CCNC-N has had a partnership with the DOC churches in the ROC. Many of you may remember about 3 years ago we invited Rev. Ngoka, pastor of the DOC church in ROC, and his wife Gertrude, to spend 3 weeks with us visiting our churches, and attending Annual Gathering. Many of you visited with them, shared worship with them in your churches, hosted them in your homes, and became friends with them. Now, we have been invited to visit them.

The dates for our trip are June 18 - June 27, 2015. The information on requirements for those wanting to go and an application form are located  here. We do know the approximate cost per person will be between $4,500 and $5,000. We are planning on raising sufficient funds to have some scholarships available to help defray the cost for some who would like to go, but do not have the necessary resources. We are hoping all of you will become involved in this venture. Here are ways all churches and members can become involved:

1. Donate money for gifts for the churches and groups we will be visiting and for scholarships to help defray the cost of the trip.
2. Make or purchase a cloth for a communion table. These we can take with us in our suitcases.
3. Purchase a couple of chalices with the DOC logo which we can take with us to give to at least a couple of the churches we visit.
4. Read up on ROC and study about the country. We'll put some sources online.OC
5. Pray for ROC and for those on the trip.

We on your planning team are excited by the possibilities of this trip and the ways it will strengthen our ties with our brothers and sisters in the ROC. Please join in this venture by becoming involved in some of the ways listed above.
