General Synod 2007 |
HARTFORD (11/15/2006) -- Planners for the 26th General Synod of the United Church of Christ, which will celebrate the young denomination's golden anniversary in Hartford in June, 2007, have announced that registration for visitors will open on December 1, 2006. All visitors must register for the event, with the exception of worship on Sunday, June 24. The planning team has made a variety of options available.
The Hartford Civic Center seats 14,000 people, which should allow plenty of space for those wishing to join the festivities, but early registration may be very important with so many planning to celebrate the 50th anniversary. The national office advises:
Registration will open for visitors on December 1st. and everyone must register. The Civic Center staff will be on hand each day to check registrations and they will only allow those who are registered in the facility. We have convinced them that Sunday worship must be open to any and all who wish to attend and they have agreed to allow this for our community wide worship on Sunday afternoon only. Other than Sunday afternoon, registration is required for all. There are a variety of registration options depending on how long you plan to be at Synod; they are listed below:
You will register online by visiting ucc.org, clicking on General Synod registration and following the instructions. If you are a voting delegate or associate conference delegate, your conference will have registered you, so if you have questions, give them a call. DO NOT re-register.
If you are planning on coming just for Saturday, note that there's a registration amount for you too!! We suggest that everyone register in advance, but if you don't decide until the last minute to come, there will be onsite registration in the Civic Center, so don't let that stop you from coming to the party!
Volunteers are still needed to help offer Connecticut's extravagant welcome to this joyous assembly. Click here to sign up as a Synod volunteer.
