Dear CCUMC Community -
Happy Fall! As the weather shifts to being cooler and the days shorter, I pray that each of you is well and finding the warmth and light of God to be with you.
I am writing to share with you that three (3) new small groups are being launched next week!
Our team of 12 committed discerners have been faithfully praying, planning and training for the launch.
During this "learning phase" of 8 weeks, we will be holding groups in Oakland, Castro Valley, and the South Bay. They will meet weekly for an hour and a half with the intention of deepening our relationships with one another and strengthening our walk as disciples of Jesus. If you have not heard from a facilitator yet and would like to participate, please be in touch immediately. I would be more than happy to connect you with a group.
I also want to take this time to share a BIG "thank you" to our team of discerners.
Over the last 7 months, this team has gathered to vision, discern, pray, listen, plan, and prepare.
May the Holy Spirit hold each in her gentleness as we move from talking to action. Please pray for each facilitator and the rebirth of this ministry!
Peace,
Emily
