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%!

[email protected].
JOYS:
Be joyful in hope, patient in tribulation, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12
We welcome Rev. Jill VanderWal and her family to Columbine! She brings a great breadth of skills and abilities to our faith community we will all benefit from. Please keep Jill and Scott, as well as their children Zoe and Judah, in your prayers as they settle into their new home and community.
The flowers in the Sanctuary this Sunday are in memory of John Wayne Sare, as this is both the week of his birthday and his passing 10 years ago. He attended Columbine United Church; the church and Pastor Steve gave him a lot of loving support during his last couple of years.
Congratulations to Judi Buehrer who is thrilled to announce that her book, Two Years in Moscow - Russia's early struggles to form a democracy, is available at the Tattered Cover, Barnes and Noble, and on Amazon.
Prayers for recovery for Carl Hanson, father of Lisa Schandle, who had a stroke.
Please pray for Bretha Mahe as she slipped and fell, resulting in surgery on her shattered wrist February 1st.
Although the immediate crisis may be over, we ask that you keep the following people in your prayers:
Judi Buehrer, Ruth Teason, Carla and Wally Keesecker, Jeff and Linda Veres, Kay Huntley, Jonathan Bennett, Marsha Slack, Cindy Young, Jim and Sandy Sexton, and Darlene Van Cleave.
There are other unnamed members and friends of CUC who have requested prayers as they deal with unemployment, financial challenges, significant concerns, addiction and anger management. Please keep them in your prayers as well as our brothers and sisters in the military and those who serve our country around the world.
