Our Annual Meeting on March 1, 2012 will be a special time together to reflect on God’s faithfulness throughout 2011 when record numbers of people in need called upon the services of the Council of Churches of the Ozarks. In addition to the business of our meeting, we will also offer a panel discussion on a recent Missouri State University survey related to social capital and what the survey says about our faith community. You will also hear about the City of Springfield’s Neighbor For Neighbor initiative to address poverty at a grass-roots level. RSVP to Barb at 417-862-3586 or via email bgardner@ccozarks.org.

 Administrative Professionals Day will mark its 60th Anniversary
April 25, 2012
In a world that demands the accurate and speedy movement of digital information, admins are masters of data. And they do this while maintaining their more traditional role as the gatekeepers for many customers, clients and employees. Quite simply, admins are the pulse of the office. Details for the Council of Churches Administrative Luncheon will be available soon!
Don't miss this fun event!
