Keynoters Mix it Up and Shine

pncucc@yahoo.com (PNCUCC) — Thu, 8 May 2014 21:49:00 -0700

So...what do you think? These two are engaging for sure. Can it make a difference in your church? Thank you Christena Cleveland and Lillian Daniel for bringing your best.

Lillian Daniel Keynote Address

pncucc@yahoo.com (PNCUCC) — Thu, 8 May 2014 16:59:00 -0700

Lillian arrived on Saturday to the Annual Meeting bringing all of her wit and clear message. It was right after lunch but no one took a nap.

I am sorry to say there was a technical problem with the recording of Sunday morning worship so Lillian's sermon does not come through with usable audio. This keynote address and the workshop with the two keynoters together came out great. I will re-post the workshop in a little bit.

Hearing on Living Wage Resolution

pncucc@yahoo.com (PNCUCC) — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:00:00 -0700

The City of SeaTac has already passed a $15 Minimum Wage. Seattle is consider something similar. Governor of Washington Jay Inslee is asking for something around $12. President Obama has implemented $10.10 hour Minimum for Federal Workers and Contractors.

It is clear that the current minimum wage in Washington, although the highest in the Country - is not a livable wage. This resolution passed at Annual Meeting begins a conversation toward action as we work for a livable wage for everyone.

Approved Livable Wage Resolution

Watch the Video of the Hearing at Annual Meeting that discussed the Resolution and recommended a YES vote to the Annual Meeting delegates with a small amendment in language.

Our Keynoters Go At It!

pncucc@yahoo.com (PNCUCC) — Sat, 26 Apr 2014 15:13:00 -0700

This is new for the UCC....two keynote speakers having a conversation about the importance of testimony in the Church. The Pastor should talk less and the people more. Every revolution in the Church happens because the lay people start it. They advocate for bringing Testimony back into the Church...really!

Now they are talking about Sin! What's next from Christena Cleveland and Lillian Daniel.
