Spring Study

Geese Flying - Book Study Advertisement with Text When the Saints Go Flying In By Joesph Yoo, Wednesday Evening Study, May 10

When the Saints Go Flying In – May 10- June 14 @ 7:00pm

By Joseph Yoo

Our spring Wednesday evening study is a book by a friend of Suzanne’s who is now an Episcopal Priest. I fell in love with this book and wanted to share the wit and wisdom that Joe shares in his first book. It is available on Amazon. This will study will be a hybrid study, both online and in person. Subscribe to the CUMC emails for the Zoom Information. For the first meeting, we will cover the Intro and Chapters 1 & 2. Below is from the description from Amazon.

When the Saints Go Flying In…

  • Is a resounding testament that there is no separation between the so-called secular and religious realms.
  • Reminds us that God’s love and mysterious presence are found in every corner of our world.
  • Is for anyone who may be struggling on their journey of faith or seeking the affirmation that they matter to God even if God may not matter to them, yet.
  • Is for anyone looking at the world today and asking questions that may not have clear, precise answers.
  • Is for those who feel overwhelmed when confronting the messiness of the world.
  • Offers an invitation to not be afraid of the mess but courageously enter it, for it is precisely in the messiness and brokenness of this world that God is found.
  • Is an invitation to search for God, only to discover that God has been with us this entire time.

The Difficult Words of Jesus

Jesus provided his disciples teachings for how to follow Torah, God’s word; he told them parables to help them discern questions of ethics and of human nature; he offered them beatitudes for comfort and encouragement. But sometimes Jesus spoke words that followers then and now have found difficult. He instructs disciples to hate members of their own families (Luke 14:26), to act as if they were slaves (Matthew 20:27), and to sell their belongings and give to the poor (Luke 18:22). He restricts his mission (Matthew 10:6); he speaks of damnation (Matthew 8:12); he calls Jews the devil’s children (John 8:44).

In The Difficult Words of Jesus, Amy-Jill Levine shows how these difficult teachings would have sounded to the people who first heard them, how have they been understood over time, and how we might interpret them in the context of
the Gospel of love and reconciliation.

Engage HB – January

by

Engage HB is an opportunity to serve God by serving others. Join us on
the 1st Saturday of each month as we meet off campus for our projects.
Please wear your masks, work gloves and bring water to drink. If you would like to bring some gardening tools that is great, but not necessary. 

This month’s service will be at Monarch Nature Trail on Saturday, January 2 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Enter at the Rancho Rd. entrance (near Spa Drive, where you can park)
Activities can include spreading mulch, weeding, watering, picking up trash and planting. You can visit their website to learn more about the trail.

Do Not Be Afraid – Virtual Christmas Pageant

by

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 20th.

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.
