Southern California Nevada Conference of the United Church of Christ
Quick News From Jane
Jane Fisler Hoffman, Interim Conference Minister

Dear SCNC Friends,


This arrived today so want to get it to you promptly.  Please note that there is the possibility of placing the ad in local papers.  If you as an individual or congregation do that, please let us in the Conference office know.

We are telling our own story---We Are the United Church of Christ.

p.s. Along with many other conferences, SCNC supported the purchase of this ad by contributing $1,000.00 from our Wider UCC Fund .

Congregational Uses of NYTimes Ad
 
Dear Conference Ministers:
 
Feel free to share this information broadly with your pastors and churches.
The New York Times ad appeared today on page 11 in the main section. We are getting very positive responses by email, website traffic and some media inquiries. A new video message "UCC 101" greets persons visiting our homepage.
 
Attached are bulletin-size and letter-size versions of the NYT ad that your congregations may want to use this coming Sunday. Of course, you are also free and encouraged to post the ad on your respective websites.
Also, please know that Conferences and churches are encouraged to consider running the ad in their own local or regional papers. In order to do this, you will need a high-resolution version of the ad. Persons interested in a high-res file, should contact Sherrell Johnson at sjohnson@ucc.org.
 
All newspapers' page sizes vary somewhat, so you will likely need to ask your newspaper's ad department to reformat the ad slightly.
 
If the ad does run in your Conference, please alert us so we can pass on the good news to others. I can share that, thanks to a generous UCC member, the full-page ad will run tomorrow in the Falls Church News-Press in northern Virginia.
 
Respectfully,
 
Ben Guess
