2017-5-14 English Ministry News and Notes


*Warm Blessings on All who Mother - We celebrate the special ministry of mothering, whether it be our biological or adopted children, whether it be to those in our extended or chosen family.  We also pray God's gentle care for all those who long to mother or who have had painful experiences around mothering.  

*Special Giving Today - Camping Fund - You are invited to give generously in funding the children and youth of our church and extended community in attending faith forming opportunities through summer camps and more.  Thank you for your generosity!

*Save the Date - Our 130th anniversary will be celebrated on Pentecost Sunday, June 4th.  Plans are underway for a special celebration. Please plan to be a part of it!

CCUMC's 130th Anniversary Celebration is only 3 weeks away! On Sunday, June 4th, we will begin with a joint worship service at 9:30 AM. This will be followed by a Gala Lunch at Cinnamon Tree Restaurant, 708 Franklin Street. Please see Becky to sign up today! Cost is only $15 to reserve a place, and includes a special souvenir. You may invite friends and guests, but be sure to get your reservations in no later than May 28th. 

Changes are Afoot—The Messenger will be undergoing some rethinking and redesign.  Pastor Emily plans to “retire” from selecting relevant devotional material for the first page on Pentecost Sunday, June 4th.  If you are interested in lending leadership in this way, please connect before June 4th.
