Sell Greens for Mission Trip!
This is a great opportunity!
1) We meet the decorating needs of our congregation
AND
2) We raise money for the mission trip!
The last time we did this, each youth selling greens for each 30 minute shift raised $53 towards their mission trip fundraising requirement. (That's $106/hour!!!) Sign up now! All you have to do is be friendly at a table in the church parlor. We also need a few to package and sort after they arrive (hot chocolate and theme music provided!). First come, first served. Reserve your spot by texting or emailing Curt. 216-903-9610, ccampbell@cotsumc.org.

Do you like to help people?
Does the idea of someone engaging with God sound like a good thing to you? If so, you should consider joining the Acolyte Team for the people of our 11am Worship Service!
Get Acolyte Trained!
Thursday, October 27, 6:30-7:30pm in the Sanctuary
Acolytes help make worship services great. They carry in the Big Bible and cross, carry in and light the altar candles, assist with collecting the offering, and help serve Communion. Acolytes serve on Communion Sundays (first Sundays of the month)
