*An Offering Opportunity - You are invited to bring beauty into the worship space by giving to the altar flower ministry. Please sign up on the sheet posted at the end of the Annex hallway or by connecting with Aeri.
*Sharing Some Exciting News - The Mission Ministry Team (MMT) has felt called to enable a Mission Exchange between CCUMC and YCVM leaders. The hope has been to invite Grace Among and Silver Omakenyi to the Bay Area during the summer to share the vision and mission of YCVM and their personal faith stories. This would also enable them to connect with new churches and organizations and for us to discern our relationship and understanding together. After a year of prayer and discussion, a proposal was brought to BOAT to enable fundraising for just such a possibility. This was approved at the most recent BOAT meeting. Work is getting underway to enable this possibility. Please keep this Mission Exchange in your prayers. If you have any questions or concerns, please connect with members of the MMT (Steve, Donna, Aeri, Burt, Ben, Jane, Becky) or Pastor Emily.
*The Season of Lent is Just Around the Corner - The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 22nd. We will mark this beginning with a special worship at 7:30 p.m. Small Groups will rest that week and the whole community is encouraged to attend. During this special six week season, you are invited to turn towards God through intentional spiritual practice. Rooted in our Hebrew (Old) Testament lectionary scripture texts, the theme for the season is: The Practice of Encountering Others – Building Community through Covenant, Commitment and Companionship. Begin preparing now to enter this season.
*A New Look a Spiritual Practice - The adult Sunday School will begin a new book study on Feb. 26th. The book for the season is: "An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith." This six week study will invite you to consider spiritual practices afresh. Plan to participate!
