Thank you from OC TIYYA

Thank you from the OC TIYYA Refugee Foundation for your recent donations of school supplies and backpacks!

Together, we were able to supply 23 backpacks to this wonderful organization that supports refugees in Orange County, many of whom arrived in the US with no more than one suitcase per family. Thank you for taking part in this mission to further God’s kingdom on earth.

³⁵For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ Matthew 25:36-36

Backpack and School Supply Collection

We’ll be collecting school supplies and backpacks to benefit Colette’s Children’s Home August 5-19. You can bring your gifts to the “Giving Tree” in the church Narthex or to the church office.

Colette’s Children’s Home supports homeless single women and their children while they work toward self-sufficiency. We support this organization throughout the year with blankets and toiletry items. As children prepare to go back to school and back to school sales are in full swing, it’s time to support with school supplies.

We will graciously accept all gifts, however some of the most popular items from area school supply lists are :

Pointed Children’s Scissors
16 to 24-pack crayons
White Glue Sticks
Backpacks
Folders with Pockets
#2 Pencils (Dixon Ticonderoga have the best erasers)
Pink Pearl Erasers
Small Pencil Boxes
Colored Pencils
Markers
Spiral Notebooks

Wet and Wild Messy Church

We’ll have the water slide, games, BBQ, and ice cream ready to celebrate summer with the CUMC Messy Church family on August 11 from 5-7 pm.

Experience God’s love in this unique family oriented Saturday night worship experience centered on learning about God through play and fun.

Whether you’re a longtime CUMC attendee, community member, or haven’t set foot in a church since singing hymns in childhood, we welcome you to Messy Church!

Table of Grace – August 5

Sunday, August 5

9:30 am

Worship will be in Moore Hall, our fellowship hall, and in the courtyard around tables.

We will be having a potluck brunch. You are asked to bring a fruit plate or fruit salad if your last name begins with A-M and muffins or a breakfast bread if your last name begins with N-Z. We are providing the breakfast casserole thanks to our Messy Church food team.

Rev. Ginny will lead worship and there will be prompts at each table to help guide our discussions of grace.

We hope that you can make this “Breakfast Church” as we welcome all to the table of grace.

Thank you from OC TIYYA
