Collateral Beauty from a Christian Perspective

Beginning Thursday, January 14 we will begin a 4 week study of the movie “Collateral Beauty” with Will Smith and several other well-known stars. It is available on VUDU if you wish to watch it in advance. It is not mandatory but may help participants keep up with the discussion.

We will gather via Zoom at 6:30pm on January 14, 21, 28 and February 4. I look forward to our discussions!

We have had a number of people interested in how to set up their pledge in the CCB application. Here are the directions for it and a link:

Digital Pledge Card (CLICK HERE)

After you complete the pledge you will get a confirmation screen that has a link to go ahead and set up a repeating gift from your checking account or credit card if you wish.

Please make your pledges as soon as possible so we know how much support there will be for the church operations in 2021.

Thanks,
