From Your Board of Directors...

Dear Members & Friends of CCMCC,
This week, thousands of
people are preparing their minds, bodies, and spirits for the Breast Cancer
3-Day Walk this weekend in Atlanta, many of them from our own community of
faith. Please keep everyone that is participating in the walk,
their supporters, and those for whom they are walking in your thoughts and
prayers.
Monday, October
26th, we are holding a Financial Forum in Davis Hall at 7pm to
discuss the amended 2009 budget and the proposed 2010 budget. This
will be a great opportunity for you to ask questions in preparation for our Fall
Congregational Meeting on November 15th.
This is the final week of
our Fall Pledge Drive. For everyone who has made a pledge, thank
you. If you haven't sent in your pledge, we encourage you to look
into your hearts and consider what Christ Covenant means to you.
We are not asking that you give any amount that is beyond your means,
only that you take time to pray about it and give as you feel led.
Blessings to you for the
rest of your week.
Peace and love,
Your Board of Directors
Pleasure is spread through
the earth
In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find.

We need volunteers for a variety of two-hour shifts throughout the weekend. Please see Helen or Jenny to sign up for a shift and ask your friends to work a shift with you and make it fun!

For the Pride Parade, we are doing things a little differently this year. We will be walking in the parade and throwing out "goodies" to the crowd.

All Church Workday
(Pride in your church day part II)

On Saturday, November 14, we will have the "Pride In Your Church Day" Part II. Hopefully we will have as big a crowd that stayed for the inside to come and work on the outside. The grass will be cut, edging done, and branches bagged and taken to the street. This building, again, is our wonderful resource, and we all need to help maintain it! Grab your friends and let's all pull together and get this place looking wonderful as we head into the fall/winter season!
A hearty breakfast will be prepared by Barb Devlin and we will eat at 8:30am and then head out to take care of our grounds! There will be a sign-up sheet in the Narthex. Please indicate any tools you may have and will be bringing with you. If you have any questions or need further information, please see our Facilities team leader, Barb Devlin. Thanking you in advance for your service!

baptized into one body- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free- and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
-1 Corinthians 12:12-13

will not have open registration the day of the retreat at Camp Mikell
