New Member Dinner – August 11

We are so blessed to have you coming and worshiping with us at CUMC! We hope that you might be interested in taking the next step in your faith journey and become a member here at CUMC.

Becoming a member is really just making an intentional statement that this is your church and the place where you will love, grow and serve God.

There is a dinner for people interested in becoming a member at Pastor George’s home on Sunday, August 11 at 5:00 pm.

This is a great opportunity for you to get to know him better and a chance to meet other newer people to CUMC in a relaxed setting.

If you would like to attend or if you have any questions please contact Suzanne in the church office Suzanne@cumchb.org or 714-842-4461.

All who wander are not lost.

wandering in the wilderness sermon series

Throughout the Bible, there are several occasions where people find themselves wandering in the wilderness, including the Israelites journey to the promised land or Jesus’ temptation in the desert.

These journeys often became times of great value learning, connecting with God, and strengthening faith. Currently, our sermon series will focus on the people and lessons learned by those wandering in the desert utilizing the Hebrews lectionary.
