Extreme Makeover Service Project
(posted October 19, 2009)
Community of Christ and the Boys and Girls Club have partnered together
Independence, Missouri, at Hawthorne Place for a successful JAM (Jesus and
Me) program. We are ready to expand the program to a new location and the
proposed space is in need of an extreme makeover! Come ready to build,
paint, scrape, sweep, landscape, and more to create this safe place for kids
to come and experience their inestimable worth in the eyes of God.
Experience the opportunities for growth. Return home with materials to
replicate this in your community.
Satellite Broadcasting Ends
(posted October 19, 2009)
Worship services during World Conference will
only be available through webstreaming at
www.CofChrist.org. Many factors were considered in this decision and
plans are underway to test the capability of our webstream provider to
provide the best service possible. This change in procedure also means
Comcast users in the Eastern Jackson County, Missouri, and Olathe, Kansas areas will not have
access to worship services via cable televisions. Everyone is encouraged to
come to the Temple and Auditorium or logon to the website at
www.CofChrist.org/wc2010/.

Your Own Bag! (posted

their notebooks and other Conference materials. New bags will not be
provided at registration. However, there is a limited supply of canvas totes
from previous conferences that will be available on a first come, first
served basis. Herald House will also be selling a reusable bag at the
bookstore.

2010 World Conference Resolutions Committee
(posted July 13, 2009)
In accordance with WCR 1155, a Resolutions Committee has been appointed
to help individuals prepare legislative items before submission to the World
Conference. Andrew Shields serves as committee chair.
The committee is advisory and optional. It is intended to ensure that
legislative proposals are written understandably, not in conflict with the
bylaws, implementable, and otherwise appropriate for consideration by the
World Conference. The committee is able to help at any point in the
legislative process, but review before consideration by the jurisdictional
conference is strongly advised.
Resolutions to be considered by the World Conference should address
significant issues that would concern the entire church. They should propose
actions that are clearly defined, capable of being readily implemented, and
aligned to directly address the concerns raised. All approved resolutions
must be submitted by December 11, 2009.
Anyone wishing to use the services of the
committee may address an inquiry to
Andrew Shields, chair, Resolutions Committee, 1001 W. Walnut,
Independence MO 64050. Inquiries also may be sent via
e-mail.
