Half tuition scholarships are given not only to Disciple clergy dependents and Youth Leadership Team members, but to UCC clergy dependents and Conference Youth Leadership Roundtable members as well. Most Disciple congregations from the Region are involved in the program and the UCC are getting involved as well. Recent new additions are the United Congregational Christian Church, Lodi, and First Congregational Church, San Jose. A joint clergy retreat was held in March at San Domiano Retreat Center in Danville. Bob Hill, Pastor of Community Christian Church in Kansas City, MO, presented a program on Christianity and the Arts with focus on poetry, cinema, and music.
Reports indicate that the program was stimulating, the fellowship and worship times inspiring.
Mike Matthews and Arne Larsen added special joy with their fine music leadership and talent. Watch for more information on this important event. Howdy, Partners is an ongoing concern of the Partnership Support Committee.
