WEEKLY UPDATE: April 26, 2021
PROPOSED CHANGES TO CUMC LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE


The mission of the United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Every United Methodist congregation shares in this mission, but how they accomplish it differs. Different congregations require different structures that allow each church to grow and adapt while remaining true to the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ.

Last year, CUMC's Church Council tasked a subcommittee, led by Carla Lee, to explore potential changes to the current leadership structure. The committee worked with Charlottesville District consultant Jim Chandler to explore various leadership models. After much consideration and prayer, the committee presented a proposal to the Council and received their feedback and approval.

CUMC's leadership wants the congregation's feedback before any changes are made. Carla Lee and Pastor Amy will present the adaptive leadership model to the congregation in learnings/listening sessions.


In-Person Listening Session:
Sunday, May 2nd at 10:30am
(following outdoor worship)


ZOOM Listening Session:
Thursday, May 6 @ 7pm


Please plan to attend one of these session. Contact Carla Lee or Pastor Amy if you have any questions or if you are unable to attend either session. We want to hear from you!

DILLINGER SCHOLARSHIP FUND SPECIAL COLLECTION

CUMC is taking a special collection to support the Dillinger Scholarship Fund this Sunday, May 2. The Dillinger Scholarship is annually awarded to students upon high school graduation who are affiliated with Cunningham's congregation and are pursuing further education. Please consider supporting this important ministry today.
UMCOR SUNDAY REPORT

Due to the generosity of the congregation, CUMC raised $565 on UMCOR Sunday! UMCOR oversees humanitarian relief for the United Methodist Church, and that is why it is 1 of only 4 special offerings we collect each year. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
