  • Special Giving Opportunity Today: We will take a special offering today for our student missioners, Jacinto, Michelle, and Jeffrey, who will travel to Uganda in May. You are invited to give generously!
  • Christmas Poinsettias! An annual CCUMC tradition is the decorating of the sanctuary with poinsettias for Christmas Sunday and Christmas Eve. If you would like to contribute a plant, please place your order with Laura. Each plant is $10. We will take orders through today.
  • During the month of December, we are collecting used children's books, grades K-4, to send to Kumi Christian Visionary School which opens next year in Uganda. This will form the basis of a small school library which the Mission Team will help establish next May. See Jeffrey Lu for details.

We will gather in the Annex promptly at 1:00 p.m. today to celebrate ministry, nominate and vote on leaders, approve the pastoral compensation package for 2014, and more. All members of the church are urged to attend.
