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%!

Text Your Offering

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.
