50 Attendance Challenge
In the first half of 2023, our church leadership (Accountable Leadership Board) worked hard carrying out various missions and ministries under the 2023 vision statement of CUMC, “Be a welcoming community for all, worshipping together at God’s house.” In line with this vision, the 50 Attendance Challenge Team was organized to work toward the strategic goal of “to have more than 50 at each service.”
We have had five successful Challenge Sundays.
Our first 50 Attendance Challenge Sunday was Easter Sunday, then after an energetic VBS week we had our second successful Sunday. Our third 50 Attendance Challenge Sunday was held on August 27 with the Re-Awaken CUMC Band playing / leading praise time; we also handed out backpack blessings to children returning to school. The fourth 50 Attendance Challenge Sunday was “Cinnamon Roll Sunday” held on September 24 with the Re-waken band playing/ leading praise time. We had the honor of Dan Dillon preaching about “An Inconvenient Truth.” Therese Gratz started the day off with her yummy cinnamon rolls for Coffee Fellowship time. Thank you to all who made this day a success.
Our fifth challenge day was held on Sunday, October 22, when we gathered to celebrate Laity Sunday. We are so glad we have a very supportive church and community. Special thanks to those in our congregation who made this worship possible. Thanks to praise time being led by the talented Re-Awaken Band, our wonderful message shared by Danica Diedrich, our terrific Youth from Confirmation Class helping read announcements, greet our fellow congregants, and light the candles. We also got to have a special event at the service: Art Finnigan, our ALB Chair, presented Bibles to all of the 2023-2024 Confirmation Class. It truly was a wonderful service.
