Update Info in Directory
This Saturday and Sunday, and for the next twol weekends, we will have youth in the lobby and church office to assist you in updating your family information for the directory. Please find a table this weekend and we will help verify your information. We will also be taking pictures after each service to add to the directory.

If you would rather do it on your own at home please go online and find the email that the church office sent you. In that email you will find a link and that link will take to the login page. Please check over your information and make corrections if needed, unfortunately you are not able to upload your own family pictures, please CLICK HERE to send a family picture that will go in the new directory. If you did not receive an email please either call (605-348-1080) or EMAIL Molly in the church office and she will resend the previous email.

With our new Directory system we would like to update this list and make sure everything is correct! As well as Birthdays, we would love to get all the wedding anniversaries so we as a Church can wish all the married couples of CLUMC a Happy Anniversary! If you would like to provide this information please call Molly in the Church office (605-348-1080) or CLICK HERE to email her this information. Have a Blessed Day!
Rev. Ron Feeser DMin Presentation
Rev. Ron Feeser, Chaplain at Ellsworth Air Force Base and congregant at CLUMC, has completed work for his Doctor of Ministry. The last step in the process is to present his work to a gathering of people. Ron will present his research on Thursday, March 28 at 10:00am at CLUMC. The presentation will last approximately 45 min and he will then open the floor up for questions. His research looks at how Jesus' model of sending out disciples in twos might be used to reach and care for airmen on Ellsworth Airbase. Ron invites anyone who wants to hear his presentation to join him Thursday, March 28 at 10:00 at CLUMC.

CLUMC March Madness Competition
Summer is right around the corner, and so is camping season! We need everyone’s help to reach our $8,000 goal to provide a 50% scholarship for every CLUMC camper attending a church camp this summer.


As a congregation, you can participate in two ways.
First, make a contribution for Camp Scholarships and add it to the offering. Second, participate in the 1st Annual March Madness Camp Competition among our Pastors. As a congregation, we’ll then decide who makes the playoffs and who gets benched. See the display in the entryway to support the Pastor you don't want to see something crazy happen to and vote for what crazy things you do want to happen. Let's do this!!

Here is the score as of this week;
Pastor Brett is in 1st with $248.76
Pastor DeAnn is in 2nd with $105.45
Pastor Kevin is in last with $9.04
Total so far is $363.25

Every camper that signs up for a camp before early bird registration will get a $5 canteen card to use at the camp store to spend while they are there!

Bring a friend to camp! If you bring a friend to camp you will get $25 off your registration fee and your friend can use our 50% off code. (Please let your leader know who you invited so we can credit your account.)

Camp Discount Code: 580181CA

LET'S SPREAD THE JOY OF CAMP TO EVERYONE!!
