Volume 3 | July 10, 2018
This Week @ CLUMC
We've updated our website to give it a fresh, clean feel. Experience it!
Sunday's Teaching Message
This week's teaching message builds on last week's message of God accepting us just as we are. This week we're talking character and how God can create in us a new heart and changed lives so that we reflect Christ to others. Pastor Kevin's title is, "The Best Modifications are Made on the Inside." Join us this weekend as we invite God to make some modifications in us.
Smarty Sunday
Our goal for the Many Hands weekend is to make 300 school kits. For us to be able to do that we need help collecting supplies!
As always you can help by donating a variety of different items including blunt scissors, 24-count crayons, spiral or top-bound notepads, 150 sheets or less of loose-leaf paper, wood or hard plastic 30 cm-rulers, 2-inch or larger-size erasers. If you don't want to do the shopping you can always donate money instead!
UMW Rummage Sale
It is your final chance to rid your house of all those unwanted items you have stashed around. You can still bring items this week and early next week to the CLC in classroom 3 for our rummage sale.
We appreciate your support since all proceeds support the mission projects of the United Methodist Women!
For more information contact Carol Dormann or Jeanette Keck.

New Custodian/Maintenance Person
We are very grateful to Erin Schendzielos for her service to CLUMC as our custodian. Erin has started a home business caring for people with dementia and the scope of her ministry there doesn't allow her to continue at CLUMC. Her last day with us will be July 31st. Rick Kriebel, the husband of Leoma Kriebel who owns the preschool downstairs, has agreed to temporarily serve as our custodian/maintenance person. If all works well this may become a permanent position. Rick will be working 4 hours a day M-S cleaning the church and CLC. He is experienced, caring, and just a great guy! We're excited to have Rick join our team.
