Help us rise to meet the $150,000 challenge of the Faith 2023 supplemental campaign!
- CUMC counts on the larger amount of donations made in January and February to give us a surplus to pay bills from March to November when expenses exceed income.
- That didn’t happen this year.
- The shortage of income (contributions) through the end of the year is projected to be $150,000.
- The budgeted amount for expenses for 2023 has not changed.
- Our need is URGENT because we are in the months when expenses exceed income.
- If we each give an additional 15-20% over our current giving, we can meet this goal.
To give to this campaign, note Faith 2023 in the memo of your check, or in the Subsplash app, choose the fund Faith 2023.
The response so far has been positive.

Special Awareness Ministry
In today’s environment, houses of worships are increasingly concerned with ensuring the safety and security of their congregations, staffs and facilities. On September 8, 2018, CUMC Board of Trustees appointed a sub-committee to address emergency, safety and security concerns and draft an emergency action plan to include an organizational structure to carry out appropriate actions and responsibilities. On April 16, 2019, the Board of Trustees approved the Emergency Action Plan, Occupant Response Guide, and established the Safety Awareness Ministry (SAM) to be operational on May 5, 2019, the first Sunday of May 2019. The mission of SAM is to prepare for and act to address emergencies or safety threats during worship services, Sunday Classes, and other designated church activities through planning, preparation and training.
If you would like to join SAM, please send an email to Gene Kimpton at rumble.truck@verizon.net.

Book selection:
The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line: Untold Story of Women Who Changed the Course of World War II by Mari K. Eder.
This book takes you inside the lives and experiences of 15 unknown women heroes from the Greatest Generation, the women who served, fought, struggled, and made things happen during WWII--in and out of uniform, for theirs is a legacy destined to embolden generations of women to come. These women who did extraordinary things didn't expect thanks and shied away from medals and recognition. Despite their amazing accomplishments, they've gone mostly unheralded and unrewarded. Liane B. Russell fled Austria with nothing and later became a renowned U.S. scientist whose research on the effects of radiation on embryos made a difference to thousands of lives. Gena Turgel was a prisoner who worked in the hospital at Bergen-Belsen and cared for the young Anne Frank, who was dying of typhus. Gena survived and went on to write a memoir and spent her life educating children about the Holocaust. Ida and Louise Cook were British sisters who repeatedly smuggled out jewelry and furs and served as sponsors for refugees, and they also established temporary housing for immigrant families in London. Retired U.S. Army Major General Mari K. Eder wrote this book because she knew their stories needed to be told--and the sooner the better. For theirs is a legacy destined to embolden generations of women to come.
