Thank You!
The
CUMC Youth
would like to thank the church for being so generous in giving for our annual

Our 2018 Giving Tree collected a total of 37 hats, 35 mittens and 7 scarves for aged young babies to young teens!
We thank the congregation for responding to this wonderful ministry for almost 20 years! None of this could have been accomplished without you! The generosity of this congregation is wonderful! Thinking of others is what makes this congregation so special!
Thank you and God Bless You,
