I wanted to thank everyone who donated treats for the college/military boxes. We received a hand written thank you note from one of our college students this week. She said the box was such a wonderful gift and perfect mood booster since she had just come from an exam. She also said it meant so much to know that people were thinking of her and praying for her.

That summed up why we have this mission. Thanks for helping spread Christ's love to our young people.

A big thank you to all those who took tags from the Giving Tree. Almost all the tags were taken. The remaining tags are on the Sign up Genius (you can also click the photo).

If you took the following tags, OP 10g, OP 10 i, or OP 11 i, please contact Nancy Albacker at nalbacker01@gmail.com. This information can be found on the bottom of the tag, right above when to return the gifts.

Please return all gifts on Sunday morning, December 11th. Together we are making Christmas brighter for all these children. Thanks!

Thanking Our Staff and Pastors at Christmas

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. Every year, our custom here at Christ UMC is to collect monetary donations to show appreciation to our pastors and staff members for all they do for us throughout the year. Of course, though many of our congregation contribute generously toward these gifts, all donations are entirely voluntary.

Sunday Worship Information

Christ's Kids and Youth Ministries Registration Form for Christ UMC (2022-2023)

All children (birth-sixth grade) and Youth (7th grade to 12 grade) participating in activities at CUMC must complete a registration form annually. This form can be used for any of our ministry activities including Sunday school, choirs, and children's worship. Your information will be shared confidentially with each of your child's teachers at CUMC so that you don't need to fill out the same information multiple times.

Please complete one registration form for each child in your family.

Christ Kids Registration or Youth Registration

Are you curious about our Sunday night worship service? When the weather permits, our evening service is held outside, in the church parking lot-we move inside if it rains.

The evening worship time starts at 4:15pm.

We meet at 6 PM-bring a chair and, for hot summer nights, a hat and a bottle of water.

Double Stroller

Gently used double stroller (Graco- black-about 2 years old) Both seats on this stroller are removable and can also face backwards. It can also hold an infant car seat but I'm not sure which Greco line we had for it. I believe any click connect but not 100% sure.
