Membership Class Forming - Anyone interested in becoming a member of our church is invited to a Membership Class led by Pastor Roy, beginning on Sunday, September 25, following worship. The class will run for two sessions (Sept. 25 and Oct. 2) and new members will be received on Sunday, October 9. No commitment to join the church is required to attend the class, so come even if you’re just exploring or interested. Childcare will be provided upon request. Please contact Pastor Roy if you have any questions.

Friday Morning Prayer & Bible Study Begins Friday!!- On Friday, September 23rd, Pastor Roy will begin a study with prayer and sharing on the book of Philippians. This is one of the most joyful books ever written, coming from a man facing imminent execution in prison. The apostle Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi shimmers with the words "joy, glad, "and "rejoice." Together, we will learn from one who faced supernatural evil as well as so many human problems – and yet could say, “Rejoice in the Lord always, and again, I say, Rejoice.” EVERYONE IS INVITED to this study. So, come and join us for a time of sharing, reflection, and prayer at 10:00 am, followed by our study. What a wonderful way to learn more about our faith and how to love one another. Please let Pastor Roy know if you have any questions.

Tellers and Ushers and Teachers
If you are interested in serving with a great group of people, we have two openings in our Usher Teams beginning this September. Ushers usually serve about once every six weeks or so. It's a really easy way to serve in the life of our church!! Don't miss out - we'd love to have you!! For additional Usher info, check out the .pdf document below this section.
Contact Frank Lehmann, our Chief Usher, to volunteer or for more information.
Tellers needed - We are in need of a few more tellers/subs to help count the receipts on Sunday morning once a month. You do not need any financial background, just 45 minutes or so after service to prepare a sheet and deposit slip. You will be paired with someone who has experience and Dan Intemann, our Financial Secretary will show you the ropes. If you would be interested or want to find out more, please contact Dan Intemann or the Church Office.
Sunday School is looking for volunteers - Our family is so blessed to have a great group of kids! Volunteering at Sunday School is a great way to get to know them and connect with them. See Kim Burton, Sandy Ciafardini, or Paula Sherman.

Last September, a new Disciple Bible Study was introduced call Disciple Fast Track. It meets for 24 weeks, instead of the original 32 and was so well received that another has been planned for this September. We need at least 10 people to have the class. The class will meet one evening a week for 24 weeks for a 2.5 hour session in the Roiland's house in Huntington. The day of the week that we will meet will be determined by the class. There will be an orientation meeting in the fall. If anyone has any questions they can contact the Roilands. Please call the Church Office if you do not have their contact information. Sign-up sheets are on the table in the hallway.

News from the Office
Hate paperwork?? Don’t forget that you can go to your bank’s website and set up a recurring payment to CUMC at whatever interval you choose, weekly, monthly, etc. The bank will then send us a check per your instructions. This is especially helpful in the summer months when lots of us go on vacation! Thanks!!!
