CHRIST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH …..making the love of Christ available

April 26, 2015

Welcome to Christ Church We are glad that God led you to CUMC to worship today! Our mission is “To provide meaningful worship, Bible teaching, evangelistic outreach, and Christian fellowship. For these ministries to take place, the people who are Christ Church must have servant hearts, striving to do God’s will and not our own.” May God bless you, speak to you, and work out His purpose in your life.

Prayer Requests: We believe in the power of prayer. If you would like to have a prayer concern lifted up during worship, please complete a Prayer Request on the Connection Card found in the bulletin and place in the offering plate. Your request will be printed in the bulletin the following week.

Sunday School

Christ Church offers classes for all ages beginning at 9:00 A.M. Our greeters will gladly inform and direct you to the class that suits your needs.

Nursery Care Provided Nursery: (infants through age 5) Well supervised nursery care with volunteer helpers is provided during the 10:30 a.m. Worship hour. Please ask for directions to the appropriate room(s).

BELL RINGING CALLING US TO WORSHIP PRELUDE WELCOME AND PARISH OPPORTUNITIES WORSHIP CHORUS (10:30 only) Lord, I Lift Your Name on High Lord, I lift your name on high. Lord, I love to sing your praises. I’m so glad you’re in my life. I’m so glad you came to save us. You came from heaven to earth to show the way, from the earth to the cross my debt to pay, from the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky, Lord, I lift your name on high.

He will never forsake us. *HYMN #117 O God, Our Help in Ages Past

FAITH PROMISE SUNDAY

On Sunday, May 3rd, we will fill out our Faith Promise cards here at Christ Church. This is our means of financing our Mission outreach. All the missionaries and the local mission organizations that Christ Church supports go through Faith Promise. For any newcomers to Christ Church and to those who have used Faith Promise before, let this be a reminder of what Faith Promise is: It is not a place for you to direct your regular tithe. It is giving beyond your tithe – give to Christian Missions. The Faith Promise cards need to be filled out after you have prayerfully sought the Lord’s will concerning your Faith Promise. However God directs you to fill out your card understand that you are trusting Him to supply that financial need, and when He supplies it, you give it to him for mis-sions. God may have already given your Faith Promise offering to you. In many in-stances you may not know where the money is coming from. Simply trust God for it, and he will supply it in a myriad of ways.

During the month of May you have the opportunity to fill out your Faith Promise card for the 2015-2016 Faith Promise year. Eventually all the Faith Promise cards need to get in the hands of Pastor Doug. Please remember that Pastor Doug is the only person who sees the cards. At the end of May, he will total the amounts on the cards so that we know how much we have to work with for our Mission out-reach. Once you have turned your Faith Promise card in, no one will ask you about it again. It’s solely between you and God. The Faith Promise Mission Outreach this year will run from June 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016.
