NCNC Council partners with Alban Consultant
The NCNC Conference Council wishes to thank the members of the NCNC Discernment Task Force for the prayerful and thoughtful recommendations shared with the Council today. We are inspired by their work and are excited to present the immediate next steps our Conference Council will take as together we discern a way forward for our Conference.
The NCNC Conference Council has affirmed the recommendation from the NCNC Discernment Task Force to contract with Alban consultant, Susan Nienaber to engage in a process of information gathering, evaluation and reconciliation facilitation for the purpose of providing clarity to our present situation as a Conference. We anticipate that this work will provide suggestions for further direction to our Conference Council and NCNC leadership. In the initial phase of this work recommendations will be provided to the Conference Council by the consultant on how to proceed with the creation of a Conference Minister Search Committee. The work of the consultant with the Council will also include development of a communications plan with the goal of ensuring transparency and greater outreach to the whole conference.
We look forward to sharing more as we move along this path. If you have any questions please feel free to share them with the Conference Council at any time. Email ConferenceCouncil@ncncucc.org
Interim Conference Minister Resigns
Dear Friends,
After much prayer and discernment, I have informed the Conference Council that I will be completing my ministry here in the Northern California Nevada Conference of the United Church of Christ at the end of June, 2013. It has been an amazing time and I have been so blessed to be in ministry with you. We have several more months together and many things to do, so I would ask for your continued prayers.
The Council has asked Candace Frawley to form a task force to move forward with a proposal to discern the process and direction for our future Conference Ministry.
We will have more time to talk and share together but I wanted to let you know my plans.
Blessings to you all.
Phil

NCNC Communication Plan
Communication in any organization is extremely important. In an effort to create better communication across the Northern California Nevada Conference we have created a “communication plan.” Here we describe our communication plan, the methods we will use to communicate and what all of us can do to make communication happen.
First, what is a communication plan?
A communication plan is a document that describes “what” is communicated in an organization and “how” that communication will occur.read more...
