CUMC's Fellowship Programs

The purpose of this web page is to highlight CUMCs many fellowship programs and activities.  Primarily socially oriented programs, many include a religious content as well.  The following briefly describes these programs:

Family Life
The Family Life Committee plans multi-generational activities and events for CUMC's church family.  There are three annual events and, usually, one or two other events throughout the year.  For 2008 these include:

Church Camp - This year's church camp is scheduled for April 18 - 20 at Sky Meadow Camp in the Big Bear Area.

Church Picnic - During August we gather for a picnic, which, includes a BBQ and games.

Advent Workshop - Church family gathers to celebrate the Advent season.  We have lunch and make Christmas ornaments and crafts.

Scrap-booking Workshops - In addition to the annual events, we scrapbook once a month on Friday nights from 6:00 pm to midnight.  Dinner is served (freewill donation) and child care is provided.  Our 2008 schedule is as follows:

          Mar 7                      Jun 20                    Sep 19
          Apr 11                    Jul 11                      Oct 10
          May 9                     Aug 22                    Nov 14

Senior Lunch Club
The Senior Lunch Club meets the last Wednesday of each month; this is sometimes changed to avoid conflict with holidays such as Thanksgiving or Christmas.  Potluck lunch and fellowship starts promptly at 12 noon in Moore Hall  After eating there is an entertaining and/or enlightening program.

Solos
If you are single, like to have fun and be in fellowship with other singles, then join us for lunch.  Each month, on the last Sunday of the month, we meet after 2^nd service (about 11:10am) and head to a local restaurant.  Call Shirley LaBounta for more information.

Supper Clubs
This is an excellent way to meet and get acquainted with fellow church members.  Groups of 8 -10 people are organized three times per year.  Typically, each group meets once a month for a total of four months.  Gatherings are held at the host couple's or person's home, where conversation and good food are always enjoyed.  The Supper Club organizer, Chuck Morelock assigns the lead hosts, who are responsible for arranging the first meeting of the group.  The host home is rotated from month-to-month, as scheduled by the group.  The hosts provide the main dish and drinks and other group members are assigned to bring hors d'oeuvres, salad, vegetable dish, and desert.  To signup for Supper Club, contact Chuck or the church office (714-842-4461).

UMYF
This is a great opportunity for the youth of Community UMC and Good Shepherd UMC to come together with each other under the guidance of Pastor Lynn and Pastor Alena.   They meet every Sunday from 6:00 pm -8:00 pm.  The location is varied depending on the activity. They have dinner together and then engage in an activity and/or discussion.  Past activities include a soccer game, weekend snow trip, bowling, team building and communication games, and a super bowl party. It is open to any youth from 6^th grade through 12^th grade.  Friends are always welcome!  The youth also participate in a mission trip once a year.  They have gone to numerous Indian Reservations, South Central Los Angeles, and Mississippi to help repair and rebuild homes in these communities.

The following require updating.

3, 4 & 5ers Fellowship Group - The 3, 4 & 5ers is a fellowship group specifically for our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade upper elementary youth. More than ever, our children need to form strong bonds of friendship and support within our church family. Our children attend different schools during the week and usually do not see each other. Our goal is for this group to provide the opportunity through fellowship and service to be together and feel more connected to each other and to our church. The group meets the  2nd and 4th Sundays of every month from 11:15am until 12:30pm beginning June 11, 2006.

The previous 4, 5  6ers group made UMCOR hygiene kits and packed lunches for our food closet. In 2006 we are making blankets for the Binkie patrol. The group has also gone bowling, swimming and played miniature golf. If this sounds like a group you would be interested in joining or you would like to know more about, contact Suzanne Morgan at the church office, 714-842-4461.
