Advent Prayer & Meditation Labyrinth

Moore Hall – December 22 – 10:00 am to 8:00 pm

Come spend some quiet time with God. Materials will be provided to guide you on this prayerful Christmas journey or you can just walk in silence listening to what God has to speak to your heart.

Christmas Day Worship

8:00am Traditional/Liturgical

9:00am Family Friendly Worship with Brunch and Carol Sing in Moore Hall

With Christmas being on a Sunday this year we thought it would be fun to have a family friendly casual worship service with brunch in Moore Hall. We will serve a breakfast casserole, fruit and muffins, very similar to the women’s Hollywreath brunch. You can bring the casserole, which is prepared a day ahead, to one of the Christmas Eve services to put in in the church refrigerator. We will bake it Christmas morning. We need some people to sign up to bring food. We will start sign ups on Sunday, December 4th in-between services on the courtyard or email Suzanne at Suzanne@cumchb.org. The recipe will be provided when you sign up.

Please don’t feel that you must sign up to bring something. We are sure that those who can sign up will and there will be plenty for all. Christmas Day falls on a Sunday just once every 7 years, so it is a special treat to celebrate on Christmas morning with our church family!

Children are invited to come in their PJs and bring their favorite Christmas toy.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Sunday, April 17

We welcome you back on Easter Sunday for an Easter Egg Hunt on our playground. We will gather near the fountain on the courtyard immediately following the 9:00 AM service. The hunt will begin at 10:00 AM. Bring your Easter baskets to collect some candy filled eggs.

We will gladly accept your donations of pre-filled Easter eggs or wrapped candy. You may drop off your donation in the church office by April 10^th. We also have empty reusable plastic eggs on the courtyard if you would like to pick some up to fill.
