Actually, we'll need upwards of two thousand or more volunteers, and by next January and February, contact persons in each of our congregations will have been selected and will he in place to share with you many of the opportunities for service during GA 2001. Finally, participating in the General Assembly is a wonderful way to be part of the life of our denomination and its churches. These contact persons, in turn, will work through teams of approximately five grouped congregations. For now, Charles and Evelyn need you to suggest at least three persons in your own church who could so serve as contacts and also would have the knowledge and skill to help in this effort. Also needed for GA 2001 are street banners, to be displayed on utility poles near the Commonwealth Convention Center and around Waterfront Park in downtown Louisville.
Congregations can be a part of the display by buying one of the banners.
After the GA, each banner will be given to its participating church. Please discuss with your session and congregation the possibility of purchasing a banner, then let us know by December 1 if your church would like to participate. We believe these banners will be wonderful reminders of this time in the life of our churches.
