An iiKout of the Government, who has

can, of course, or his tenure of offlco would be
of the briefest, but his party predilections do not
disable him from judging of the drift of opinion
among tho people. Ho finds tho Democrats
nearly unanimous In support of the Cincinnati
ticket. Hero and there a hide-bound old Bour
bon hopes that the Iloltlmore Convention will
nominate a third candidate; but If IIoiiace
Giiecley Is adopted by the Democrats they ex
pect to support him. Tho Republicans are di
vided between Grant and Gueei.ky. Tho ma
jority aro probably lL favor of Oiia.st; but our
correspondent has heen.aMonlahcd to vo the
evidences of Gitr.r.i.iY'8 strength, particularly
In the rural districts. Ho says tho Democrats
have no doubt that four-fifths of the delegates to
llaltlmore will sustain tho Cincinnati nomliav
tlons. And with that endorsement the Qran
ticket will be beaten In tho State by from six
thousand to ten thousand votes. Tho Times of
Hartford and tho IltiMtr of Now Haven, tho
leading Democratic papers In tho Stato, and
i both of them among the straltcst of the sect,

clnnatl Convention was announced It was tolc
; graphed that ex-Senator Hendricks was satisfied
with Greuley and Brown, and would run for
Governor of tho HooslerStato upon the Clncln
cliinatl platform.
This was a blow to Voorhces's hopes. Ho
could never expect to carry off his coveted
prize In tho faco of such a popular man as Hen
dricks. Tho samo event also caused Morton to
seriously droop. Then Morton and Voorhces
met In this city It was well known that during
the week following tho adjournment of tho On
( clnnatl Convention Voorhees called at least twice
at Morton's. Hero n scheme was laid, tho pur
portof which has leaked out. Morton, who owns
what there Is of the Grant party In Indiana,
promised to do his utmost to secure tho Guber
natorial nomination and election for Voorhees.
The Administration Is to rend out money and
attempt to control the Indiana Democratic
Staic Convention and turn It over to Voorhees,
and In the event of his nomination the Grant
fuglemen are to sell out tho Republican candi
date, Gen. Tom Ilrowne, and elect Voorhees.
In return for this great kindness, Voorhees
ynd his friends aro to sell out the Democratic
legislative candidates In a sufficient number of
districts to secure a Republican legislature,
i wh ch will return Oliver I'erry Morton to tho
United States Senate. Morton's present term
1 expires on the tth of March next.
This comes from most substantial sources,
and Is so generally credited here, from the
known honor of those who give the Information
i that It has brought Voorhees Into contompt,
' even among those who were his best personal
j friends. Tho Wabash statesman can deny hav-
' Ing bargained with Grant, becauso Grant was
j not the party he bargained with. Grant has not

A Child Attncliedbyn FnliiMiIng Son.
On Tuesday afternoon a child, 5 years old,
daughter of James Kenny, a laborer at Spuy ten Duy vel,
was playing near the Port Morris Railroad track. On
one side of the track was a swamp. While the little
child was playing a gaunt tow, followed by a litter of
sucklings, sttacked her, and endeavored to devour her.
The sow teUed the child by the wrist and dragged her
from one aide of the railroad track to the other, toward
the swamp. The child's cries attracted the attention of
the flag-manon the Hue, who arrived lust In time to
aave the lite of the little girl. The child's arm was fear
fullmangled by the teeth of the huugry beast, and her
head terribly cut through being dragged over the rails.
Dr. Parson attended the child, and tewed up the cuts In

A Triumph of llm Honest Men of the Pnrty
Over I lie Corrupt Itlngs-Gov. Clymer's
Liberal Hpt-ccli-A Mniorllr of the Hi lo
onies Fnvorlng Greeley's Endorsement.
Hkading, Mny 30. There hns been a de
cided change In the sentiment of the Conven
tion In regard to the Liberal movement slnco
last evening. There Is but ono wish expressed
by nil tho prominent men of tho party who aro
hero as delegates or lookers on, nnd that Is to
defeat Grant. Thoro Is somo dlfferenco of
opinion as to whether this can be dono only by
supporting Orecley, but all agree that It would
bo almost criminal not to sink all personal feel
ings nnd preferences In a causo so holy as this.
Thero are, It Is true, a great many men, perhaps
a majority of the narty, who dlsllko to entertain
tho Idea of supporting n mnn who Is tho very In
carnation of the principles they havo opposed
all their lives. It Is llko entering Into tho dark
valley of death In tho hope of reaching n new
land of promise beyond. It Is surely the highest
net of patriotism which any groat party has over
been asked to perform ; yet I verily bcllevo that
tho croat majority of tho honest, thinking men
who composo this Convention are ready nnd
willing to make this sacrifice
Thero has entered Into the heart of every
thoughtful man tho solemn conviction that the
liberties of tho people wilt be seriously Im
perilled by four years moro of Grant's bayonet
rule. Feeling and believing this, tho mass of
the Democratlo party of Pennsylvania staid
ready to mako any honorable alllanco which vlll
preserve Intact for their posterity the liberties
to securo which their forefathers laid down
their lives. They are animated by another
motive almost ns noblo nnd commcmlaUo. Tho
Iron heel of a hateful military despotism Is upon
tho necks of millions of their fellow-countrymen
in the South, and a horde ot thieves, under
tho protection of this despotism, are not only
consuming the products of their labor, but aro
heaping up mountains of debt which must be
borne upon tho shoulders of their posterity for
ages to come. livery gale from the South brings
to their ears the beseochlng complaint of a
wronged, otitnvod, and suffering people, and
they feel It would be Inhuman to disregard such
an apixial.
These aro the sentiments of men of whom ex
Gov. lllglcrls an eminent representative. Thero
aro of rutin.fi many of tlio would-bo leaders of
the party who talk wildly about never disband
ing their glorious old party, and going over to
thecump ,.f the enemy, but they can scarcely bo
called representative men. They certainly do
not represent cither the nralns or tho hearts of
the Democracy. They are either reckless, un-ri-tlectlng
men, who aro perverse by nature, aud
anxious to attract attention by loudly proclaim
Ing their devotion to principle, or else they nro
solgnoraut as to believe that their personal pop
ularity would he. endangered by speaking what
they honestly believe.
Alt the actions of the Convention so far Indi
cate very clearly n willingness on the pari of tho
majority to Join in tho I.lbernl movement. The
selection of the Hon. It, II. Ilrown of Clarion
i-ount to act as temporary Chairman of the Con
vention is significant to thine who know tho
man. Mr. Ilrown was n war Democrat, nnd
during the early part of tho war published n
paper In the western part of tho Slate wlilih
consistently supported tho cause of tho I'nlon.
Ho is a libvral minded man, and publishes ii
liberal Democratic paper In Clarion county,
which hasa decided leaning toward Greeley In
his speech thanking the Convention for tho
honor done hlm.homado tiso of the following
significant language;
There Is an esrnest riemsnd for r form enmtngfrom
men of etery simte of political opinion, ami It isoir
duty aa patriotic rllUent to hearken lo tli.s demand.
v e should surrender even our personal pn fcr, nees for
men In order that we may aihlevelhal success which
we are all strugnltiig for There Is a ll.le ui the alUirs
nf men which, taketil Its flood, leads lu fortune anj so
It Is In polliles. the pi.liiii.il tide Is now at Its flood,
aud we should lint throw ava the gulden opportuiiliy
which oners to redeem out couutry und the libertits of
the people.
Tlio selection of Mr. Owner for permanent
President was undoubtedly to have been be
cause of his known friendship for Mr. Iluckalew.
who. he said, was, of all men ini-iitloii.i for
Governor, the purest, the best, and the most
liberal, Tlicspcto-h of Mr. Clymcr wa worthy
tho man, and when he uttered the following
sentiment, tho applause was loud and long con
tinued; This Is a solemn hour. From sll parts of the old
Commonwealth, from all parts of this great country,
the cry Is going up for alt Inrraiicr irum the political
thraldom Hut now oppussra ua. I'ur tMthe ii-ars
-long, dark, bluer years -the people of this land have
surlered a worse thau h'gyptlsn bondage. Uood men
are hero to-day to consult lugetlier as tu how tlu-y i an
be delliered from the oppression and wrong by wl I h
we are afflicted. We are about to appeal to the whole
IHOple for deliverance, because we hope and iM-lleve
thai through the good men of the whole laud there can
yet be fouud ill llversnce.
The Chairman of tho Committee on Resolu
tions, ex-Gov lllglcr, Informs mo that they had
a moat bnrmonlou-s meeting, and that they would
undoubtedly romlt tho iieBilou of the national
liollcy of tho partv to tho llaltlmoro Convention.
He said further that thero was much less oppo
sition muulfested toward tho Cincinnati ticket,
and moro moderation on tho part of the Ilour
bons than ho expected.
The seventh ballot for candidate for Governor
resulted ns follows ; George W. Cassnf Allegheny
rounty, 4S ; C. R. Iluckalew of Columbia. 45 ; A.
C- Noyes of Clinton county, 17; A. 11. Mi Calmnnt
of Venango county, 4 ; Win. McClelland of Law
rence county, 1 ; II. Wright of Luzerne county, 3.
Slxty-seven votes were necessary to n choice.
Votes wero changed, und tho ballot announced,
which gavo lluckiilew 71, and his nomination
was made unanimous.
Tho nomination of the Hon. C. R. Iluckalew as
the candidate of the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania for Governor la n glorious triumph nf the
honest men nf the party over all rings and cor
rupt Influences. The record of Mr. Iluckalew
while In tho United States Senate Is a bright
page In his pure and upright life. No man eve r
lelt behind him a more unblemished reputation
than he did. During an era of corruption, when
the rings were most powerful and the party tlio
strongest, ho stood up and fought uvury sus
picious measure, and Irft tho Senate a poorer
man than when he entered It. He Is cloar-hoad-rd,
thoughtful, studious, and his mind Is of tho
(jhllosophlo-tast. It would be-unprofitable for n
man of his rbaractor and disposition to bo a
bitter partisan. Ho is naturally a Liberal, and
although he may deem It Inexpedient to express
his sentiments In regard to the work of tho Cin
cinnati Convention, 1 have reason to know that
ho Is heartily In favor of thu nndorsement of
Greeley's nomination by the Nutlonal Demo
cratic Convention.
This nomination Is tho result of a determina
tion on tho part of tho Convention to present to
the people of the State the mniiHho could In
every reapect he tho opposite of Hartranft, tlio
candidate of Grant's hirelings. It reuulred tho
sacrlfico of somo ptir-sonal feeling on the part of
many men to accomplish tills, and the llrst to
lend in this uoblowork was thu Hon. Wm. A,
Wallace, who has for several years boon conslil
ercd the chief antagonist of Mr. Iluckalow.
When the Democratlo politicians of Pi'imsilvn
nia can bo Induced to rise out of tho depths of
personal spltu and enmity there Is Indeed reason
to hope for still moro magnnnlinous action,
I There can he no doubt ns to tho loccntlon this
' nomination will meet at tho hands of tlio peo
ple. 'I he enthusiasm In tlm Convention over It
was unbounded, but I veuturo to predict that
tho people of every shade of polltlc.il opinion
throughout tho Statu will ruculto it still more
enthusiastically. II Is surely a harbliucr of Joy
to tin-in, for tlio defeat of llurtranlt is the do
feat of ono of tho most villainous iln.'s that
ever cursed any State
I havo said that Mr. Wallace contributed more
thau any other man to secure the nomination of
Mr, Iluckalow, In sinking whatever personal
feeling he muy havo entertained toward lilni on
account of past differences. Mr. Wallaco Is the
recognized leader nf the party In tlio State,
and as I said last night, ho favored tho t-ndorso-inent
of tho Cincinnati ticket. It Is exceedingly
gratifying to find thlaatutemcnt corroborated by
a leading editorial In tho Hurrlsbiirg I'nlrlnl,
which Is recognized as expressing his views on
all iiueatlous of State and National policy, Tho
editorial roleiroil to was upon tho groat victory
gained bv tlio coalition of thu Dcinocratlc.mil
Liberal Republican Congressmen In 1 ho defeat
of tho Kii-Klux bill, Tlio nrtlclti was dotlbln
leaded, and was evidently designed to havo an
Inllueni'o upon this Convention. It concludes
with tho following eloquent paragraph l
Out uumbercd as are the Democrats In Congress, lliey
could nut have accomplished this auspb lous result with
sll their resl In behalf of constitutional rights. Alum
titer -ould nut havo prevented the Radical leaders irum

szslntt the eitenilon of the Ku-hlui aet lo enable

A Twenty. Yenra Lnvvault with Mntcrlnl for
n First-Class Novel -An Incident In the
Life of Gov. John A. King.
Yestenlny morniiifr Mr. I). I. lliiruiinl
filed the decision of tho Court of Appeals In the
ense of Fitzgerald, trustee, act. Topping. Tho
case contains many elements of n romance. In
1U0 James Rrysnn, who owned a houso In Liv
ingston street, another houso In Nassau street,
several vacant lots In Wyckoff street, and a farm
In Queens county, was sued by n Mrs. Morrison
for what he deemed an unjust demand. Ho
sought tho advice of Counsellor Danahcr, who
advl-cd him lo convey all his property to Wil
liam Culbcrt, in trust for Ilryson's tw a daugh
ters, ono aged six nnd tho other throe years.
Danahcr, who had a faculty of drawing papers
without consulting nny catnhlishod lorm, drew
a deed which llrysoii executed.
In December, ISM). Mrs. Morriton recovered a
small Judgment agninst Rryson, which being un
paid, her counsel, Scahury Klssam, Instituted an
tictlon In the City Court to sot the trust deed
aside on account of fraud, and Curtis nnd Top
Ping appeared as attorneys for Colbert und Dry
son. In September, 1st", n verdict was rendered
In Morrison's favor. About that time the trus
tee sold the Queens county farm to ex-Governor
John A. King, and received monov enough to
pay tho Morrison Judgment- nnd tho samo was
handed to Topping, ono of tho attorneys, to sat
isfy the Judgment. Instead of cancelling tho
Judgment, ho procured from Mr. Morrison two
papers, one releasing the Queens county lands
from the Judgment, and the other assigning tho
Judgment to his father, the present defendant.
Ho waited until tho fall ot SV, and then bo Is
sued an execution and directed tho Sheriff to
sell nil the llrookl)n property, nnd ou tho 1-th
of February, InVI, tho Miorllf sold tho wholo
property to the defendant for tlio, and on tho
uih of May, IKV7. the Sheriff , Mo the defendant.
Topping, it deed of tlio premises, who, within n
few days, took proceedings before a Justice and
removed llrjson and his family nut of the prem
ises they occupied. Ilrysoii then nppllcd toJ.
W. Gilbert, who. In Ilryson's name, sued to re
cover the premises. Judge Gilbert thought tho
trust deed so Luncllugfr drawn as to ton
tain no valid trust, llut that action resulted In
a non-suit, Topping's counsel Insisting that tho
action should be brought In Colbert's namu.
The General term nftlrmed tho non-suit In lnM,
A suit had been begun In June, lsVi, by K. Daly,
attorney, in Cullx-rt's name, for the same pur
pose, which n. dismissed by default in Novem
ber, In17, and Topping, iiiimt threats of collect
ing thu rusts of Culbcrt, induced Dim tu disc n
tlnue all efforts to open tho default, audio to
Icaso all claims to the property.
'lhltiga remained In this condition until Cul
bctt's death In 1NSI. Then D. P. Halliard was re
tained to recover tlio property. Hy his udvlco
the Court appointed Muurlcu Htzgerald trustco
in Culbcrt' place, and an action hojs Instituted
In the City Court In August, 1nI. Thu ui lion
was tried In Jnuuaiy.lNAaud u verdict rendered
for plnlntlr;. The defendant paid iii tlio costs and
obtained a new trial. The case was again tried
In February, Is.'), and niiothi r verdict was ren
dered for the plultuiff, on tho ground that tho
Judgment hating been paid, there could bo no
iKfdgumcnt of It, or side by execution under It.
Defftidnut appealed tu tho Supremo Court,
anil lu February, lNil, tho Judgment was affirm
ed. Tho delendaiit appealed to tho Con it of
Appeals, and that Court has recently affirmed
tho Judgment, by which tlie.se two girls, now of
nge. recover about 3o.(XiU worth of prucrty and
all tlio rents since their father was dipos-o-seit.
II. L. Sanderson has been appointed rufereu to
take an uc-nunl of tho rents.
Tho case Is pc ullur, from tho mortality of tho
actors therein, llrjson nnd Ids wife, Culbcrt,
Danahcr, Klssam. Curtis, nnd Topping, the at
torneys, und l,onias and Tuber, wlnu-wes, and
Gov. King, tho purchaser, have all died. On tho

attorney who Issued thu execution, died.

There seems to ho it wnli' tllfforenee of
opinion between the houscstnlths and their em
plojers, At a meeting of tho former last ovon
Ing, It was reported, iinild enthusiasm, that tho
principal firms had acceded to tho eight-hour
movement, and would employ men under that
system In future On tho other hand, the em
ployers met, nnd nftcr comparing experiences
found that not n single firm had taken dellnltu
nctlon, the nnswer to tho strikers In ovory In
stance being that they should abldo by tho
nctlon of tho employers' meeting.
At this session Mr. Campbell, on being called
to prctldo said, whllo ho had duo regard for the
rights nf the worklngmcn, ho could not but
vlow this movement as a mistake which would
In time prove disastrous to tho men themselves.
Hn thought It dishonest In them to snap tho
strlko at tho busiest tlmo nf the year, when work
on largo contracts had Just begun. Ho was,
moreover, confident that tho movement would
provo a failure, after n few months. Agitation
had roused tho mon to this so-called reform,
nnd when tho excitement had died nut tho
movers would bo glad to work any number ot
hours n day.
Sovcral other employers coincided In this
view, and It was conceded that the reform would
dlo n natural death when left clone. A resolu
tion was unanimously udnpted ns a cnmpromlso
that eight hours should bo conceded from tho 1st
of August. To do so befuru thai tlmo was lo
suffer n greater loss upon contracts already taken
than would result from closing their establish
ments for two months. Tho subjoct of forming
a cooperative union was then discussed.
Tho employees who declared strlko to begin
on Monday, Initiated 150 members, nnd positive
ly declared that Curry, Fortv-first street; Vree
lund, Hroadway; Cook, Thirty-fifth street, ami
Scott, Thlrtv-flrst street, had conceded tho
eight hours. These persons, at tho employers'
meeting, with equal emphasis said they had not.
Thehorsoshoers added their names to tho list
of strikers last night. Thu meeting In Constitu
tion Hall, Thirl avenue and Twenty-Second
street, was Immense, and there was but ono
opinion expressed us to tho duty of the organi
zation. Tho veto to begin a strlko this morning
was carried amid cheers. Committees to nwait
upon employers and non-members nf tho Asso

called for this evening In tho Seventh atcnuo

young Caucasian femalo In an all-night saloon
onGrccno street, and after providing a liberal
entertainment for her, escorted her to Commo
dore Vnudcrbllt's stables, whero he proposed
furnishing her frco lodgings for tho night. Tho

while both tlio girl and negro woro In quiet oc
cupancy of tho stable On tho entrance nf tho

cured after dealing ono or two knock-down ar

tho shooting scrape that formed a scporato chap

Messrs. Howo ic Hummel appeared yester

modoro Vanderbllt was nn eye-witness of tho
occurrence In thu stable, nml would swear that
thooflicer wa a trespasser In violation of tho
law, and the first assailant ; that tho negro only
acted In self-defence, and was justified in it hat

Commndnro Is willing and anxious to appear as
n witness in the prisoner's behalf, but had been
obliged to lento the city nt an c.iriy hour yesler
day morning, and would not bo back until Fri
day. Mr. Orlando Stewart of the District Attorney's
office, appeared for tho people and opposed too

Mr, Howe explained that Mr. Hummel had

that the Commodore expressed great Interest lu

servant; but as ho had previous engagements
that reipilicd lilm to leave town early yesterday

In any event a final settlement of tho question
cannot bo postponed much longer.
There Is no doubt that the time has about
come whon Secretary Fish will have to leave the
Cabinet. If he Is to be held entirely responsible
for the muddle of our foreign affairs generally,
ho could a tale unfold that would not be pleas
ant for others, and this constitutes his sole hold
on the ofllco.
The telegrams last received do not giro hope
of an early adjustment, as It Is said Great llrlt

Week Two of Personal Hell

OK, so that's just a bit of typical whiny, internety overstatement. But suddenly having to take full responsiblity for another person's every waking move certainly shakes up your complacent lifestyle. My wife and I were somewhat prepared for this, since we had taken in my 97 year old grandfather a few years back. But his general attitude towards life was quite a bit different than my mother-in-law's. I'm sure a good deal of her peculiar behavior has to do with the heavy-duty painkillers she's on. But she's still a very strange person: only a few years older than my own mother, but she acts like she came from an entirely different generation. I can't help but think of her more as a grandmother figure than a mother-in-law.

One way this effects Chrontendo is the loud, hot, oxygen-compressing machine that ended up getting stuffed into my office. It's impossible to record any commentary with that thing running. From time to time it will be turned off, or I might be able to move it elsewhere temporarily. But it will slow down production of Episode 32 a bit.

On the positive side, I think all the video for the highly informative second half of the History of Adventure Games is recorded, with only minor technical glitches on a few of the games.

I'll try to post regularly until Episode 32 is up. Expect a report on the PC-FX dating sim Welcome to Pia Carrot very soon.

Take your time.
I for one, know how hard things in life can be.

I wait as long as it take
for a new episode. :)

Having just finished grad school only to move back in with my in-laws, I can sympathize. :)

As much as I'd love to see another episode, it's more important that you keep your sanity along the way.

We'll wait. :)

Watch this instructional video on how to access your online contribution statements.

audio giving from Church of Celebration on Vimeo.

Why give?

Why give money to the church? Because:

  • It’s “the right thing to do”?
  • A good tax write-off?
  • God needs it?
  • The church expects it?

Before explaining what to write on your check or how to give online, it’s far more important that you know why we encourage you to give to God by giving to the church. To put it simply, it’s what God says to do (Deut 15:10; Psalm 37:21). He tells us in the Bible that He wants us to give regularly (Romans 12:8), generously (Acts 10:2), and sacrificially out of all He gives us — all as part of our worship of Him (1 Tim 6:18).

Not because God needs what we have. But because we need to give it. What we do with what we have directs our heart. Giving to God reminds us that He has given us everything we have, and can be counted on to meet every need we will ever have. Giving something back to Him is an expression of gratitude and worship.

How do I give at COC?

Weekend Offering

An offering is taken at each of our Sunday services. Our new contribution processing software is able to take the information directly from your check and match the giving with your household. Alternatively you can use our offering envelopes.

If you would like your contribution or a portion of your contribution designated to a certain fund, please list the fund and the amount desired in the memo line of the check. When no specific designation is given, all funds are designated to the General Tithe Fund.

Loose cash gifts are considered anonymous donations and are designated to the General Tithe Fund. Offering envelopes are enclosed in the Sunday service program and can be used to designate a fund.

Online Credit Card Offering

You may set up one-time or recurring contributions from a credit card. Choose to have the contributions withdrawn from your account weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly. Simply click on the “Sign In” link on the giving page. Follow the steps to create a new account or access your account if you have already created one. You may manage your giving through this online system anytime.

Why give online?

It keeps first things first.

The Bible indicates giving is to be a “first” and not a last or leftover matter in my life. Read Proverbs 3:9-10. It is easy to let our intentions be compromised by the pressure of expenses and billing cycles.

It’s consistent.

Have you ever forgotten your gift, left it at home or pledged to double it in the future? Have you had times where you have fallen behind because of travel or other schedule interruptions? Online giving provides a way to stay up to date with your budget.

It’s convenient.

Through online giving, you expedite your gift, simplify our accounting, and strengthen our base of regular support.

We use an online database called Fellowship One. Their system allows us to provide access to your contribution records and allows you to make donations online. They provide all of the security for the system. This system is used by churches throughout the country and has been fully tested by them.

There are two aspects of security related to the system. First, Fellowship One provides data security using the latest security technology. The following statement is from their security documentation: “F1 utilizes the most current encryption technology to maintain the security of your data. Every parameter passed in the hyperlinks is fully encrypted. Additionally, the Login module handles passwords using what is known in technical terms as salted hash. In laymen’s terms, this means it would take 50 computers (running constantly) continuously presenting password combinations four years to discover the password.”

The second aspect of security relates to account creation. When you first create a new account in the system, you will be able to donate immediately, but you will not have access to any previous contribution information. Before that can happen, we must manually link your previous information to the account you created.

In order to verify the authenticity of the account request, we will ensure that all of your data matches our current records (e.g., address, phone number, and email address). If there is any question, we will contact you via email before creating the link. Since this is a manual process, we will perform these steps approximately once a week, but if you would like to speed up this process, you can send an email to

When you create your account, you will determine your own login id and password. If you forget your login id or password, you can have the system email it to you by entering the email address that you used when you created your account. If you need help or cannot remember the email address you used, you can contact us at You can also change your password at any time.

Please help us keep your information safe by protecting your login information. Access to sensitive personal and financial information can be gained by letting someone else use your account or by leaving the information for someone else to see.

Our Policies

Your information is held securely by the Fellowship One system. This information will remain private and will never be given away to third parties, other than to process your scheduled contributions.

You can schedule new contributions at any time and can modify or cancel those contributions at any time prior to the date they are scheduled. Once the contribution has been processed, however, it cannot be cancelled. If you have any problems or questions related to this, please contact us at .

Whether you’d like to give a single gift, schedule ongoing donations, or view your giving history, you can do it all online. It's quick, easy, and secure. Here you can give your Tithe as well as your “See the Invisible” gifts. With our new, enhanced service you can give by using your checking account, debit or credit card (that you pay off each month!), whichever is most convenient. This safe and flexible option is one of the easiest ways to give to Church of Celebration.

If you have any questions please contact the Church of Celebration Office 520-494-7714.

Each zoning classification indicates specific development standards such as required setbacks from property line and maximum coverage of a lot. There are occasions, however, when strict application of such standards may be inappropriate because of special characteristics of the property. The variance procedure was designed to permit minor adjustments to the zoning regulations when there are special or extraordinary circumstances applying to a parcel of land or a building where "the strict application of (zoning) regulations ... (to a parcel of real property) deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is located." A change of use cannot be permitted by the variance process.

The Planning Commission (PC), acting as the Board of Adjustments, shall review all variance requests. In approving a variance application, the PC may impose such conditions as deemed necessary to protect the best interests of the surrounding areas or neighborhood. It is important to stress, variances can only be granted if a finding of specific hardship as previously described is made. A variance cannot be granted to simply make property development less costly or to expand the use of the property.

Step 1 - Project Consideration

Early in the consideration of a potential project, the Zoning Ordinance should be carefully reviewed to determine if all regulations are met. Nevertheless, the need for a variance is often discovered when an application is made for a building permit or other City approval. The applicant should thoroughly investigate alternatives to see if there is any method to accomplish the purpose of the project without necessitating the need for a variance to zoning requirements.

Step 2 - Filing the Application

The applicant will submit the completed application, filing fee and other required information (see Application Submittal Requirements at end of this document) to the Community Development Department. Once the application has been filed:

A staff planner will be assigned to review the material to make sure all the required information is provided.

The applicant will be notified within 30 days after filing as to whether the application is complete or what additional information is required.

The fee for review of a variance is established by the City Council and is intended to offset the cost of the number of hours that professional staff spend on the project.

Step 3 - Environmental Review

Some variance requests are required to have an environmental assessment to determine if it is necessary to prepare an Environmental Impact Report. Information on timing and sequence of this process is contained in "A Guide to Procedures for Environmental Review."

Step 4 - Staff Review for Planning Commission

Once the application has been deemed complete, Planning staff will:

  • Evaluate the application by conducting a site investigation,
  • Review its conformance with the City's General Plan and zoning provisions,
  • Analyze the potential environmental impacts, and
  • Analyze any other issues unique to the proposed project.

A written staff report will be prepared for the PC which will analyze the development proposal and will include staff recommendations. A copy of this report will be sent to the applicant on the Friday before the scheduled PC hearing date. Copies of the report are also available to the public after they have been sent to the PC.

Step 5 - Planning Commission Review

The PC is required to hold at least one public hearing on the variance application. Once the application has been deemed complete:

  • Staff will prepare a public notice scheduling the variance application on the next available PC Agenda.
  • The notice must be posted no fewer than 10 days prior to the hearing date and must be mailed to every property owner and occupant within a 300 foot radius of the property site.
