The Association sponsors ceremonies to honor prominent citizens who have excelled in serving their communities. Teachers and directors of private schools, the directors of charitable institutions, prominent citizens of Jerusalem, and clergy were recognized and honored in various ceremonies, decorated with the "Pioneer for Peace" medals.
The Association annually publishes desk calendars with a different theme each year. Artists and painters from Palestine, motherhood, and children were previous themes. Our 2009 theme came in line with "Jerusalem - Arab Culture Capital 2009," where we strived to show the different cultural aspects of Jerusalem as well as the deep-rooted presence of Palestinians in the Holy City. The 2010 theme was the traditional Palestinian embroidery from the various villages and cities around historic Palestine. These calendars are distributed to churches, NGOs, and business firms. They are printed with generous donations by local friends of the Association.
On the occasion of the New Year, the Association invites Church leaders and heads of Charitable institutions to a reception. This is an occasion for increasing mutual understanding between the Church and its members in Jerusalem.
Twenty-five prominent community members in Jerusalem were selected as Friends of the Association. The purpose of this group is to increase the support for the Association and widen the circle of participation of the community in its activities.
On the occasion of printing this brochure, the Chairman and Board members of the National Christian Association extend their appreciation for the support given to them by the members of the community and the donors, especially the Canada Fund, UNDP, the Italian Cooperation, the Arab Fund for Social and Economic Development in Kuwait, the Australian Development Aid and other local donors and benefactors. Special thanks go to the De La Salle College brothers and headmaster for their continued support of the Association by providing us with a meeting room.
