Application Fee and Team JOG raised, effective with June 2010 Weekends:

At the December 2009 Council meeting, UEC Council voted to raise the fee for the Weekender application from $30.00 to $40.00 per applicant effective beginning with applications submitted for the June 2010 weekends. A new Weekend Application (dated January 1, 2010) is available on the Resources/Forms page of this web site or from your UEC Church Liaison.

UEC Council also voted to raise the suggested Team JOG donation from $50.00 to $60.00 per person effected for the June 2010 team members. Remember, this is a suggested donation. Please do not feel that you cannot serve on team if this is a hardship for you. No one keeps track of how much each team member donates. Many donate more than the suggested amount and God always provides. Ask God what He wants you to give.

 

Spouse Attendance Policy has been Updated (April 2009)

At the April 28, 2009 UEC Council meeting, the policy that requires spouses to attend together was ammended. It now reads:

"For married couples, it is customary, and strongly recommended that both husband and wife attend UEC together on the same set of weekends. We encourage you to read the brochure, "UEC for the Married Couple" (updated to reflect the policy change) for better understanding of WHY we recommend this..."

Our newly formed UEC Bulletin Board Team will be happy to custom design a UEC Bulletin Board for your church. Come to an October 2009 Clausura to see a UEC Bulletin Board display and pick what works best for your church. We will design fun and colorful or peaceful and elegant, whatever you like.

The final product will include a UEC brochure holder and information for your board including the UEC Faith Statement, How to Attend a UEC Weekend, Who to Contact, etc. Items will be modular so you can rearrange them on your board from time to time. We will charge the cost of materials only.

UEC Database Team Forming

UEC is in the process of moving our database to a secured server and updating the format. We are forming a Database Team to help with this project and provide future support. The
user (front-end) piece will be Microsoft Access 2007. Support will involve occasional help with a new query/view. We are looking for a couple of people with Access input experience to manage address changes, roster updates, etc. (less than one hour per week). We are also looking to identify those in the Community that have Access / MySQL programming proficiency who we could call when needed in the future. If interested, contact Kathy Walker.

 

Promotional Materials Help Needed

The Long Range Task Force (2005) made the recommendation that UEC update it’s promotional materials. We have two new brochures, a DVD, and various sponsorship packets. Help is needed to manage these materials. Requires storing of materials, packet stuffing and mailing materials upon request. For more information, contact Kathy Walker .

 

UEC Speakers Bureau & Pulpit Supply

The UEC Council would like to form two lists of people.

The first is a list of experienced UEC 4th Dayers willing to be available to go to prospective and new UEC churches and give a presentation to the staff and/or the church about UEC. We will provide materials and guidelines. This might include showing the five minute DVD presentation and being available to answer questions afterwards.

The second list we would like to form is a list of ordained clergy willing to fill in at new UEC churches during the weekend when their clergy attend a UEC weekend.

To be added to either list, contact Kathy Walker .
