- During the month of December, we are collecting used children's books, grades K-4, to send to Kumi Christian Visionary School which opens next year in Uganda. This will form the basis of a small school library which the Mission Team will help establish next May. See Jeffrey Lu for details.
- Next week, Dec. 8th, a special offering will be taken to support our three young people who are going on the mission trip to Uganda next May. During worship, you will hear Jeffrey Lu, Michelle Lu, and Jacinto Obrera share their reasons and hopes for going on the trip as part of the CCUMC team of volunteers.
- Christmas Poinsettias! An annual CCUMC tradition is the decorating of the sanctu-ary with poinsettias for Christmas Sunday and Christmas Eve. If you would like to contribute a plant, please place your order with Laura. Each plant is $10. We will take orders through Dec. 8th.
