About the UCC Mission Priority Board
The Mission Priority Board (MPB) of the United Church of Christ has been in existence for more than 40 years. It supports local mission partners in the Greater Metropolitan Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. MPB allows UCC churches to collaborate around issues and organizations that are prophetic and pastoral. Collaborative fundraising and church giving benefits direct service hunger and homelessness ministries, inter-faith advocacy and youth efforts, affirming ministries, and UCC service providers.
1960’s Coffeehouse Benefit Concert
The United Church of Christ Mission Priority Board is raising funds for its partners with a creative Coffeehouse presentation featuring folk music, history, and memories. This special performance is being hosted in honor of Rev. Jim Egbert and in memory of John Neumaier and Karl Poetter.
Veteran Columbus folksinger and retired news reporter Bill Cohen takes folks back in time with a candlelit, musical, year-by-year journey through the era, with live folksongs, “news reports” and compelling photos of sixties happenings, displays of anti-war buttons and posters, and far-out sixties fashions.
Bill will also challenge the audience with fun sixties trivia questions. The program is suitable for adults and mature teens. It’s the 38th year of sixties coffeehouses for Bill. He’s performed the show more than a hundred times at colleges, churches, synagogues, conferences, high schools, and middle schools across Ohio and beyond.
