END OF YEAR FINANCIAL DONATIONS TO CUMC

The Finance Committee would like to remind everyone that any financial donations to our

church must be received in the church office by Noon on Friday December 30th in order for

those donations to be recorded as received in 2022. This is especially important for those who

itemize charitable deductions for tax purposes. Any donations received by the church after

Noon on Friday will be recorded as received in 2023 regardless of what is written on the check

or envelope. For those who use our electronic giving option, you must initiate the funds

transfer with Vanco no later than Tuesday December 27th to insure it is processed in 2022. We

appreciate your co-operation in this matter and thank you for your financial support of our

church and its ministries.

Our New Office Manager started her new role today.

Thanking Our Staff and Pastors at Christmas

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. Every year, our custom here at Christ UMC is to collect monetary donations to show appreciation to our pastors and staff members for all they do for us throughout the year. Of course, though many of our congregation contribute generously toward these gifts, all donations are entirely voluntary.

Sunday Worship Information

Christ's Kids and Youth Ministries Registration Form for Christ UMC (2022-2023)

All children (birth-sixth grade) and Youth (7th grade to 12 grade) participating in activities at CUMC must complete a registration form annually. This form can be used for any of our ministry activities including Sunday school, choirs, and children's worship. Your information will be shared confidentially with each of your child's teachers at CUMC so that you don't need to fill out the same information multiple times.

Please complete one registration form for each child in your family.

Christ Kids Registration or Youth Registration

Are you curious about our Sunday night worship service? When the weather permits, our evening service is held outside, in the church parking lot-we move inside if it rains.

Last Evening Worship will be Sunday11/20 for 2022. We will start again in the spring.

The evening worship time starts at 4:15pm.

We meet at 6 PM-bring a chair and, for hot summer nights, a hat and a bottle of water.

Double Stroller

Gently used double stroller (Graco- black-about 2 years old) Both seats on this stroller are removable and can also face backwards. It can also hold an infant car seat but I'm not sure which Greco line we had for it. I believe any click connect but not 100% sure.
