Church Name Badges

Just a friendly reminder to please wear you name badge for the first few months starting in July, to help Pastor Amanda become familiar with everyone. If you don't have one, just ask the church office and we will make one for you.

We are still in need of volunteers for Coffee Hour and Clean-up. Please consider volunteering. Thank you!

A big thank you to everyone for the lovely farewell Sunday and for making my last job so special!

Working alongside the CUMC staff has truly been like working with supportive, caring friends. Add to that so many people who are always there to help... I couldn’t have done my job without their help. People like custodian, Bud Hatch and volunteers Dave Halpin, Donna Myers, Mark Haberman, Margie Wise, Jim Turner, Sharry Robinson, Robert Inabnet, Sherry Graham and so many others. It's always been a team effort of staff and volunteers. So, although many staff members have changed, all the volunteer support is still in place to assist Pastor Amanda, Carol, Kelly and Kerri.  

Meeting and working for all of you has been such a wonderful way to end my work life! Thank you for the opportunity.

I'd like to send a special thank you to everyone for the warm welcome and reception to CUMC last Sunday. It was a wonderful way to meet people I don't always get to see in the office. 

Thank you again to everyone who has helped make my transition so smooth and I look forward to working with everyone in the years to come!
