Bidding Pui Fong a fond Farewell! Please join the CM congregation during their 10:30AM tea time today (September 21st) in the annex, as they honor Pui Fong’s time of ministry with CCUMC.

2014 has been a momentous year for our Uganda Mission, as the school, which we have been constructing for more than 5 years, opened its doors for instruction in February! We will be sharing firsthand stories of our 2014 trip to the village of Kumi at our Annual Benefit Dinner, which is slated for Friday, October 24th, just 6 weeks away! We hope you and your friends will join us for this 5th Annual Gala, held at Restaurant Peony in Oakland. Please get your reservations in ASAP, and we promise you won't be disappointed. The evening includes an 8-course Chinese Banquet, a Silent Auction, and a Village Crafts Market. Visit
www.ycvm.org for more information and online ticket purchasing. Tickets can also be purchased in person from Becky Wong. Join us as we "Touch the Heavens and Change the Earth!"
Our Silent Auction for this event is now accepting your pledge of (new) goods or services. Please connect with Peggy or Donna if you are planning to donate. Items can be brought to church beginning October 5th!

A note from our CCUMC Kitchen: We're getting rid of the aluminum & worn Teflon pots. If you’d like to donate usable stainless pots & pans, please do so! Also a reminder to ALL who use the stoves & ovens: Please clean up any spills. Also remember not to leave food in the refrigerator or freezer that won’t be used immediately. Please keep our kitchen spotless!
