*Giving Appreciation - Each Sunday, rotating pairs faithfully count the offering and pledges given. Today, we lift these giving servants up: Helena & Elsie, Steve & Vince, Ed & Ben. We also give thanks for Frances and Kent for stepping in temporarily as we seek out longer term support.
*Celebrating Baptism & New Memberships - We celebrate the baptism of Victor Chan (Steve & Laura's grandchild) and welcome in active discipleship Musa Funtua next Sunday, Aug. 18th. Please keep them in your prayers during this week.
*We Welcome Rev. Joseph and Marilyn Chan - Next Sunday, we conclude our 7 week summer Sunday School series on Cambodia by welcoming UMC missionaries to CCUMC. They will present in Sunday School (at 9:30 a.m.) as well as in worship.
*Great Thanks - for all the prayer support and volunteers of Homework Club's Adventures in Faith! The program ended with a bang on Friday, Aug. 16th. We give great thanks to the following extraordinary folk: Donna, Becky, Adrienne, Richard, Jonathan, Gloria, Peggy, Laura, and Steve. In addition, we are so thankful to Christine Li and her amazing tutoring staff! Let's pray for the growth of the seeds we planted all summer long.
*Sunday School Ministry Gathering - We will be kicking off a new year of learning and growing on Sept. 1st. We are in great need of support in this vital ministry with our children and youth. Please gather on Saturday, Aug. 24th, from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. to explore and learn more about this ministry.
*Save the Date! Street Fest Sunday is Aug. 25th. A short worship will begin at 9:30 a.m. followed by a time of preparation. Doors will be flung open wide at noon. This is definitely an "all hands on deck" ministry opportunity.
