CNU-MCC News

January 2019 Newsletter

With 2018 in our review mirror we have some very exciting plans for CNU-MCC to share with you for 2019. We’re praying you’ll be as excited as we are. Before we share those details, however, we need to apologize for dropping the ball on communications since CNU26. As you know CNU-MCC is a volunteer organization, which means things like the newsletter need to be done during the margins of committee member's time. The good news is CNU-MCC's leadership committee meets every month, but during 2018 that sucked up most of the margin that members had and that affected the publication of the newsletter. As we start 2019, however, we’re recommitting to do a better job being in touch with CNU-MCC members.  
 
If you joined the CNU-MCC in Savannah, a very warm welcome to you! This will be your first newsletter, and one of the ways we share about the work CNU-MCC members are doing, and the opportunities that exist to help one another in connecting the Christian faith with New Urbanism. Another way is to join our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1146343452098005/.

We thoroughly enjoyed convening with many members at CNU26 in Savannah this past May. Thank you to those who participated in our Annual Business Meeting and Prayer Breakfast. It was good to meet new faces and reconnect with old ones. We hope those of you who attended the Congress made valuable connections and expanded your platforms for engaging in thoughtful New Urbanism.

Stay tuned for forthcoming newsletters and Facebook posts that will outline ways you can be more involved with CNU-MCC.

 Save The Date: CNU27 Pre-day
June 11, 2:00 - 6:00 Pm + Dinner

As you know from CNU25, and even more so at CNU26, there's been more content and interest in CNU-MCC sessions than we've had opportunity to deliver during the Congress. We've decided, therefore, to offer a CNU-MCC pre-day of programming before CNU27 kicks-off (i.e. this is in addition to our regular CNU sessions, business meeting, and prayer breakfast) for people who are arriving in Louisville the afternoon of June 11th in order to be ready for CNU27 the next morning, June 12th.  

The CNU27 CNU-MCC pre-day is June 11th from 2 - 6 PM, then dinner.  We'll update you with more details as they become available.
