REVISED CALL TO CONVENTION BOOK 2025 03-25 .2025 REVISED (1)

GENERAL CONVENTION CHAIRMAN

It is with great pleasure to welcome you to the Valley of the Sun, Salt River Valle y and the 10 th largest state by population in these United States.

The success of a conference lies not solely with the distinguished leaders, but the awe - inspiring members who commit their time and efforts to communing with fellow ushers. In 1919, a similar - minded group of dedicated spiritual servants marched down 1400 Christian Street in Philadelphia during the African American Great Migration north. These spiritual warriors prospered despite extraordinary trials and tribulations of that era. As Jesus said to his disciples “ If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, it is enough. You can say to this mountain, ‘ Move from here to yonder, ’ and it will be moved. Nothing will be impossible for you" (Matt hew 17:20). The National United Church Ushers Association of America, Inc. was organized 106 years ago and remains as resilient as ever. God has not called us to be solely successful in our professional lives; He has called us to be faithful and increase his fold. The Ushers ’ Association is nurtured not only by our spiritual forefathers, but by each one of you. Each of you are charged with increasing the fold.

To the 106th National United Church Ushers Association of America, Inc. Convention, the Western Region looks forward to welcoming you to Ph o enix, Arizona and I am honored to serve as your 106th General Convention Chairman.

In Christ,

Mozella E. Brown

Convention Chairman
