• What's Next?! Jesus' resurrection and ascension marks a decisive moment in our community's history. What happened next? You are warmly invited to join in the new Sunday School study on the book of Acts with a rotating team of great teachers, including Pastor Moon! The new study begins Sunday, Apr. 3rd. Please be prompt!
• Please Note - Pastor Emily will be on vacation for 2 weeks beginning Wednesday, Mar. 30th. She will return to CCUMC on Sunday, Apr. 17th. During that time, please connect with Pastor Meina for any pastoral emergencies.
• Please Pray - We received word from Silver Omakenyi that the well on the school grounds that supplies all drinking water needs has dried up. Additionally, the school van is close to its last leg. KCVS is in the midst of discerning how best to meet the needs. Let's remember our beloved friends and students as they carry on.
