English Ministry News and Notes 2016-10-30

  • Great Thanks for Pitching In - Today, we will hold an "all church clean up" from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Your energy, effort, and presence is much appreciated. Please look out for and welcome the AYSC and Symphonic Band youth who are here to pitch in too. Learn their names and include them!
  • We wondered recently: "What if CCUMC made a positive difference in the Chinatown community and was seen as an active partner for good?" And God responded with an invite to "baby steps": We are invited to pitch in to "Pick It Up Chinatown", a new monthly community venture to clean up and beautify Chinatown. Nov. 13th, 12:30 - 2:00 p.m. Please sign up today!
  • Celebrate Thanksgiving, CCUMC Style - we will gather for parallel worship on Nov. 20th at 9:30 a.m. followed by a festive fellowship potluck luncheon.
  • Don’t Forget: We “fall” back next Sunday, Nov. 6th! Adjust your clocks! We will also welcome into membership Kenneth Kwan from the CM. Please gather in the annex to sing our welcome song, “Jesus Loves Me.”
  • Can Christians Celebrate Halloween? This question comes up every year. The United Methodist Church doesn't have an official statement or position regarding Halloween. You are free to make your own decisions about participating. Here's food for thought: http://www.ministrymatters.com/all/entry/7792/halloween-and-christian-faith
