Come Welcome Our Guest
Keith Scott will be preaching Sunday, July 6.
Keith is a friend of both Nancy Bacon and Jane Fisler-Hoffman, the interim conference minister. Keith is a recent graduate of McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago with a Masters of Divinity degree. Keith is currently the Director of Organizing for the Good News Community Kitchen and the community organizer for Northside P.O.W.E.R. (People Organized to Work, Educate, and Restore), the grassroots community organization for the Kitchen. Keith is also actively involved in the wider church as the Site Coordinator for the Annual Meeting of the Illinois Conference of the United Church of Christ, a position that Keith has held for the past 8 years. Keith is also on the Planning Committee for the National Youth Event for the United Church of Christ. Keith has been blessed to use his gift of gab to share his love for Christ through preaching. On any given Sunday, Keith might be seen and heard preaching at various churches throughout the Chicagoland metropolitan area. Last year Keith was invited to be one of three keynote speakers at the Illinois Conference Youth Initiative Midwinter Retreat for youth of the Illinois Conference of the United Church of Christ.
A member of Trinity United Church of Christ (Trinity) in Chicago, Keith has offered to lead A Sacred Conversation on Race. Many UCC congregations held such conversation May 18. Since we were honoring our music people, we postponed the conversation. Now we have the opportunity to talk with Keith who can share his perspectives from working in community organizing, doing prison ministry, and working with youth. Come welcome and hear Keith Scott July 6.
