Dear CUMC Family & Friends,
Thank you for the beautiful send-off party on my last Sunday, May 17.
Thank you for your heartwarming messages and cards, along with love offerings and gifts. My husband, Jae, our dog, Danbi, and I left our Crystal Lake home on Tuesday, 19, and arrived in our new home in San Jose on Friday, 22 evening. The moving truck unloaded our stuff on the following Sunday morning, and most of the boxes were unpacked. I attended the transitional workshop at the San Damino Retreat Center last week. As I walked through the labyrinth, I offered prayers of thanksgiving. I am taking a deep breath and walking each day. Thanks for the gift of this sweet rest and downtime. I ask your prayers as I pray for a smooth transition for you and pastor Satya. Thanks to the Trustees and other volunteers helping with the paronsage. May God bless CUMC abundantly and you be the vessel of that blessing to the world.
Much love,
Pastor Mi-Sook

We never pray alone but together as a community. We have a prayer chain, a small group of those who pray for submitted requests throughout the week. Let us pray for our church family, friends, neighbors, and our nation. Let’s draw the circle wider. Contact the pastor to join.
If you would like to keep your prayer request in beyond 2 weeks, we would appreciate if you contact the office with an update.
