UCC WOMEN TO CELEBRATE “TOGETHER BUILDING BRIDGES”


United Church of Christ Women from all of New England will gather in
Burlington, Vermont on March 12, 13, 14, 2010 for their 8th CELEBRATION.
The theme is TOGETHER BUILDING BRIDGES “...a time to break down and a
time to build up...” Ecclesiastes 3:3

In 1980 during he Annual Meeting of the New England Women’s Fellow-
ship Presidents, five women had a dream. That dream was to reach out to
women in the pews, to involve them in learning and sharing about their faith.
The dream was realized in 1982 when the first CELEBRATION, WEAVING THE
FABRIC OF OUR FAITH, took place in Portland, Maine. Over 1,000 women took
part in that event and many looked forward to and participated in similar CELE-
BRATIONS which have been held every four years ever since. Over the years,
this has become an intergenerational event.

CELEBRATION VIII—TOGETHER BUILDING BRIDGES offers exciting oppor-
tunities for discovering and understanding differences. Topics such as Race, Im-
migration, Sexuality, Economics, Generational Differences and Worship Choices
will be examined. Plan to join us to make new friends and re-establish old ties
with people from New England and beyond. We CELEBRATE our faith, our heri-
tage and our woman-hood, as we pray, sing. Laugh and learn. We invite you to
mark your calendars for March 12, 13, 14, 2010. Be with us to CELEBRATE – to-
gether building bridges!
