Make a Difference in the
Financial Picture of CUC!
Are You Required to Take an RMD from your IRA?
Calling all those who must make minimum withdrawals from retirement accounts! Why not have some or all of those RMD's sent directly to CUC? Whatever the amount is, it will be counted as part of the required minimum but it will not show up on your 1099R as taxable. This is an excellent way to make sure your contribution is still deductible! Please consider donating a portion of your RMD as a way to support the ministry of Columbine United Church. Please contact Lindsey Stevenson at the church office for more details.
You can donate to CUC simply by purchasing a King Soopers card at the Welcome Spot. Each time you reload the card at the store when buying your groceries,
CUC receives 5%!
Thrivent Financial Choice
CUC is a participating organization in Thrivent Financial's Thrivent Choice® program. Thrivent Choice is a charitable grant program allowing eligible members to recommend where Thrivent Financial distributes part of its charitable outreach grant funds each year. Eligible Thrivent Financial members can direct Thrivent Choice Dollars® to CUC in a particular month. If you have Choice Dollars available to direct, please consider directing them
to CUC. To learn more about Thrivent Choice, visit
Thrivent.com/thriventchoice
, or call Thrivent at 800-847-4836, and say "Thrivent Choice" when prompted.
Text Your Offering
In less time than it takes to write a check, you can now make your contribution to CUC with a quick text message! Text "CUC $50" to 73256 to give $50 (for example) to Columbine United Church using your text messaging. You can adjust the dollar amount to whatever amount you would like to give. Standard text message rates do apply. Thank you for our continued support of CUC! Your time, talent, and resources are helping us to change the world!

Security Following the Council's direction we have a security team in place comprised of several members of the congregation. They've been studying the security needs of the building during worship and mid week activities. Thanks to Tag Worley, security cameras have been installed in strategic areas. On Sunday mornings members of the team are in the Narthex and sanctuary monitoring the needs of the attendees, everything from health concerns to people needing assistance. The committee is looking for more members to join in this ministry. It is our desire to create a safe and secure environment for every member of the congregation.
