Connect with God, Nature, and Friends

If getting out in nature and hiking with some friends sounds like a good way to spend your Saturday once a month than this opportunity is for you. Mary and Mike Boyd have planned a hike a month within the County of Orange. All hikes are moderate hikes that are family friendly. We will meet at the trailhead at 9:00 AM. Some locations have a $5 per car parking fee. You will want to wear hiking shoes or good walking shoes and a hat. You will need sunscreen, a small backpack to carry your water (16oz or more per person) and any snacks you will want. To be good stewards of God’s creation and courteous to other hikers our group size is limited to 14 people. Reservations will be a first come first serve and can be made by emailing Mary Boyd at mmmwboydATverizon.net. Our first hike will be Saturday, September 25 at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. When you make your reservation, Mary will provide you with details for parking etc.

Do Not Be Afraid – Virtual Christmas Pageant

How will it work?

You will record your scene with your family or whoever says, “Yes! Let’s do it! This will be fun!” Nobody is too young or old.

What about costumes?

You can use what you have at home or borrow items from the church. No need to go out and buy anything.

When will the performance be?

All the recorded scenes will be put together and the pageant will air on our online services December 20^th.

Have Fun!

This well written script from Illustrated Ministries weaves together the joy of laughter with the Christmas story. Contact Marty (marty@cumchb.org) ASAP if you would like to participate.

Messy Easter

Saturday, April 11th at 5pm

Messy Church is meeting at our regular time in a different way this month! We will have a virtual Messy Easter celebration time together.

There are FOUR ways to participate:

You can do the at-home activities. There are activities to do on each day of Holy Week.
You can drop off food for the CUMC Food Closet and support Lizzie’s Girl Scout Bronze award project. This will be a Drive-Thru where you can wave to your Messy Church friends and drop off your food items without coming into contact with anyone between 10-11am on Saturday, April 11th.
You can provide photos or a short video (very short) of something you find around your house that shows or makes you think of new life. We plan to use these in a slideshow at the end of our Celebration. Our Celebration time will be private for our Messy Church only. All pictures and videos are due by Wednesday, April 8th. Send pictures and short video clips to marty@cumchb.org.
On Saturday, April 11th at 5pm, join Messy Easter Celebration on Zoom. Contact marty@cumchb.org for the link.

Messy Church – Deborah the Shero

CANCELLED

Due to COVID-19, we are cancelling this event this evening. We will see you all in April!

Join us for March Messy Church, where we explore Deborah the Shero.

Deborah was a prophetess that appears in the book of Judges and inspires the Israelites to a victory over the Canaanites.

Through crafts, songs, games, and a meal, we will dive into the story of this biblical Shero.
