Souper Bowl of Caring

This message comes from the Church World Service Midwest Regional Office about a great opportunity for both youth and adults to raise funds for CWS on NFL Super Bowl Sunday through the Souper Bowl of Caring.

What is the Souper Bowl of Caring?

More than 140 million Americans watch the NFL Super Bowl each year. Imagine the impact we'd have on HUNGER if each of those people gave JUST ONE DOLLAR to help those in need. On or near FEBRUARY 5, 2006, you have the chance to join youth and adults around the world to help put an end to hunger and poverty. The Souper Bowl of Caring is an effort to touch lives and teach youth and adults to fight hunger and poverty in their local communities and overseas. The 2005 effort was led by over 11,000 organizations and generated $4 million for charities across the country and world.

How?

1. REGISTER at www.souperbowl.org or call 1-800-358-SOUP and get a FREE RESOURCE KIT to personalize your Souper Bowl of Caring event. The kit includes posters, information on the Service Blitz, Bible studies, hunger studies, and interactive teaching materials.

2. Gather the Youth and your friends to organize an activity you can do in your community or congregation (see below for sample ideas).

3. COLLECT dollar donations.

4. REPORT your collections online at www.souperbowl.org or call 1-800-358-SOUP

5. DONATE your collections directly to Church World Service!

Ideas

  • Have a Souper Bowl Potluck on Super Bowl Sunday
  • Have the Youth do a Hunger Education Skit during the service on Souper Bowl Sunday
  • Have the Youth collect dollars with Souper Bowl Buckets (stickers and materials provided)

    This is a great way to add new meaning to the NFL Super Bowl. For more detailed information please call the number listed above or visit the website.

    Thanks!

    Vital Action Needed on 2006 Federal Budget

    Urgent Message From
    Richard N. Peterson
    Illinois Conference Representative to
    UCC Justice and Witness Ministries (JWM)


    Final Vote set for Wednesday, Feb 1st

    I am writing about the federal budget that the US Congress is considering and the devastating impact its cuts could have on the most vulnerable in our society.

    When Congress adjourned in December, most of us thought the battle was over and that we had lost that battle. For three months, the leadership in the Congress had to keep delaying roll calls on the measure because they didn’t have enough votes - and they didn’t have enough votes because concerned citizens across the country called their Senators and Representatives to raise objections.

    Just a few days before Christmas, however, in the wee hours of the morning, Vice President Cheney was flown in from the Middle East, to cast the deciding vote on the legislation in the Senate. Yes, the vote was 51-50 to enact the budget cuts. That close!

    But it turns out that the Senate added a provision that wasn’t in the House bill. So the legislation has to go back to the House of Representatives again. That is expected to happen in the last days of January or the first days of February 2006.

    In July 2005, General Synod XXV of the United Church of Christ adopted a strong resolution to advance the cause of the most disadvantaged in the budgetary and appropriations process. This resolution underscores Christ’s call to serve the poor by calling attention to the 2006 US federal budget which significantly increases the burdens placed upon the poor and calls on the UCC and the churches to speak about this issue in the public arena. This position has been forcefully communicated by JWM staff in the UCC’s Washington DC office. In addition, JWM has prepared Winners and Losers: Faith Reflections on the President’s Proposed Federal Budget 2006, a thoughtful, comprehensive study guide for individuals and churches which may be DOWNLOADED HERE.

    As your JWM representative and as Chair of the CMA’s Church in Society Committee, I now ask you to do two things.

    I urge you to contact your Representative to share your thoughts on the forthcoming vote.

    In keeping with the resolution adopted by the UCC General Synod, I ask that you share information about this important vote with members of your congregation, and encourage them to take whatever actions they deem appropriate.

    Thanks for your faithful consideration of this important issue.

    Final Giving for 2005 OCWM Needed

    Giving to UCC down 20% in Illinois Conference this year!

    An Urgent Request From
    Rev Jorge Morales
    Associate Conference Minister

    Dear Pastor and Church Leader,

    A warm New Year's greeting to you and your congregation.

    If your church has already sent in its total final contributions for 2005 for Our Church's Wider Mission (OCWM), I want to thank you and the congregation for having done so.

    If your congregation's total contributions to OCWM have not yet been sent and you want them counted as 2005 gifts, please ask the appropriate church officer to mail them this week!

    EXPLANATORY NOTE from CMA: As you know gifts to Our Church's Wider Mission are your church's basic support for the national UCC denomination, the Illinois Conference and the Chicago Metropolitan Association. They are your basic membership dues, and are separate from any mission giving such as One Great Hour of Sharing, Neighbors in Need, Disaster relief or support for the Still Speaking Campaign. OCWM funds are sent by local UCC member churches to their local conference (the Illinois Conference for us) which in turn forwards what it feels is appropriate to the national denomination office and to each local association (CMA).

    Our latest figures for OCWM giving in 2005 show that more congregations are further behind in their giving than at any time in the past five years. OCWM income figures just prior to the Christmas holiday showed that we were approximately $400,000 short of reaching our goal of $2,027,231 (about 20% short). This 2005 OCWM Goal is the same amount we actually collected last year in 2004, so we are 20% behind last year.

    The week prior to Christmas an updated giving report was mailed to your church showing where the congregation is in its giving compared to its Accepted Goal or the Covenanted Fair Share figure that was tabulated if no goal was accepted.

    All OCWM 2005 contributions received (in the lock-box or Conference office) by Tuesday, January 17 will be counted for 2005. Please note that Monday, January 16 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and a holiday, which makes it necessary for mail to be sent the Friday or Saturday prior in order for it to arrive in time to be counted for 2005.

    If your congregation has met its 2005 goal and is able to make an additional contribution - going the "Extra Mile" for 2005 OCWM giving - we invite you to do so.

    May the blessing of the Epiphany come upon us all and enhance our ministry and mission as a united family faith.

    In Christ,
    Jorge
    Illconfjorge@aol.com

    CMA NOTE: The continuing shortfall in OCWM support for the Illinois Conference (and therefore for the UCC and CMA), make the special conference meeting called for February 11, 2006 all the more critical. That meeting is called to discuss Open Space Technology as a method for managing Conference and Association business. Read more about the meeting further down this column.

    TUESDAY, JANUARY 17: BATTERED WOMEN'S NETWORK TRAINING

    Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women's Training Network, Centralized Training Institute, presents: Understanding the Legal Process for Felony Cases; Tuesdays and Thursdays, January 17, 19, 24 & 26, 2006; at 203 N Wabash, Suite 2323, Chicago 60601; 312-750-0730; www.batteredwomensnetwork.org.
