Attention all graduating seniors (and parents of those seniors): It is time to get your pictures together for the special program in May. Please put your name on all pictures and place them in an envelope. Please give them to Judith McNair no later than April 28.

The second Passover will be observed Tuesday night, May 1. If anyone missed the first Passover and is intending to take the second, please see Mr. Servidio.

Because of the rescheduled Golf Tournament (on April 22) we will not have a Men’s Leadership Club meeting on that day. Our next club meeting will be at Broze Hall on May 13 starting at 10:00 am. Assignments are available today at the Information Table.

We need volunteers to help in the operation of the Media Library. There are opportunities in the areas of duplicating CDs, labeling, filing returned media and assisting brethren in checking out CDs. Here is a way you can actively serve the brethren and shut-ins.  If you are interested in helping out in the Media Library, contact Ivor Mitchell. Thanks to the young teens who drop in and ask if they can help. Older teens and young adults are encouraged to participate.

Questions for the April 14 Before the Ascension Bible Study are available on the Bible Study Page.

Congratulations! We would like to feature the 2007 high school graduates in a special section of the July United News. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions and send a photograph by June 11, 2007.

4. High School Accomplishments
5. Church Activities/Hobbies/Interests (tell a little bit about yourself)
6. Plans After Graduation
7. Additional Comments (favorite quote, favorite scripture, motto,
advice, etc. Please identify which it is, so we don’t think your advice
is your motto, etc.)

Please include a phone number or e-mail address to confirm spellings, etc. (will not be printed). Please send this information with a recent photo (conforming with biblical standards of dress and hair length) of the graduate by June 11 by eMail (Mike_Bernett@ucg.org) or by mail (United News, P.O.

Successful planning for the Feast by Church staff is dependent upon accurate numbers of attendees in advance of the Feast. Therefore, we ask all heads of households to turn in a registration form between now and April 21. You may place your registration form in the box on the Information Table at Broze Hall, or hand it to David Buchanan (Houston) or Del Berger (Huntsville). If you have any questions regarding festival registration, please see David Buchanan.
Registration forms are in the current issue of the United News (the festival edition listing all UCG sites) or your festival adviser might have some extra forms. We anticipate everybody will be approved to their first choice, but Panama City Beach, Florida and Steamboat Springs, Colorado remain as restricted sites and there is a potential to be denied. Also, Anchorage, Alaska still has availability, but you must fill out the Anchorage application.
