Nu-Vizion UCC-Toledo

On July 2nd 2006, as part of our ongoing journey into life as a fully charter and fully functioning congregation of the UCC, we will be installing deacons and ordaining elders. Since these will be our first officers in these roles we are asking for your assistance.

We would like, in keeping with biblical witness and the traditions of many Christian churches, to install these individuals through the laying on of hands. IN order to make this particularly meaningful, and because we lack a preceding group of elders of our own, we are inviting churches in the NWOA and beyond to consider sending elders to act by proxy during this worship service.

Worship begins at 3:45 and will conclude at approximately 5:30pm. If you are able to attend or have elders who would be willing to attend please RSVP to the church email address, nuvizioncf@sbcglobal.net or by phone to the church number 419-241-9358.
