Chapel Prayer: A New Ministry

Initiative at CUMC

Two Sundays ago I preached on the importance of setting aside time to pray and be still before God. God has placed upon my heart the invitation to start a prayer ministry at CUMC. This ministry will gather on Mondays at 9 am in the Chapel for a half hour to pray for the mission and ministries of our church, attend to the presence of God in our midst, and listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we prepare to receive God's vision for CUMC. You are welcome to join as you are able; you are also encouraged to lift up the church in your personal prayer time. Jesus says, "Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them." I hope to see some of you next Monday morning. Let's commit to being a church at prayer!

Grace and peace,

Pastor Amanda

Rummage Sale

Many, many thanks to everyone who helped support the CUMC United Women in Faith Rummage Sale. To all who supplied the muscle-power to set up tables; made the donations and set them out; bought the rummage; helped box up, tear down and move everything after the sale. Your help is so very much appreciated. Our sale raised $2600+ to be used to support women and children’s missions.
