BOARD of CHRISTIAN OUTREACH
Korean Partnership -- History

 

After beginning partnerships in other countries and states in the USA, in 1992 the Kyungki Presbytery, PROK asked the Connecticut UCC if they would be interested in establishing a partnership with them. Through former pastor Stan Possell a partnership was established for our church with the Ju Min church and Pastor Lee in Sung Nam City, southeast of Seoul. Several exchanges have occurred each year since that time. Susan Chvirko was our church's first delegate to visit the Republic of South Korea in the summer of 1997. The Church Council approved our continuing our partnership for the third 3- year term in February of 2000. Since that time we have welcomed one youth for Sacred Journey 2000 and Pastor Lee in the fall of 2000 for the annual UCC meeting. We raised funds to send Jenna Castle to Korea for Sacred Journey 2002. 

For more information about this partnership, pamphlets can be found on the information table in the Parish House lounge.
