*We will have hand sanitizer available and we will use it often.
*We will sanitize in and out of rooms.
*We will be cleaning the tables as often as we can.
We will accommodate whatever parents wish.
If you feel your child cannot come unless we wear masks, we can change our guidelines.

***NEW****
SEEKERS
Thursday Morning Bible Study
Seekers meet at 10:00 am
each Thursday in the church library.
Beginning in January we will begin a DVD series “Prophets and Kings” by Ray Vanderlaan. In ancient times, the Hebrews daily faced the question “whom shall I serve?” The consequences of their choices are the stories that make up the Old Testament. Join us as we explore the turbulent history of Israel’s prophets and kings and learn from their story how we can build our own trust in God.
Blanket Month is January
for
Church World Service
Sunday School
We have Sunday School options for all ages.
Sunday School is held at church on Sunday morning at 9:00 am
ADULT CLASS
Led by Pastor Buck
Our Adult class is currently studying "God Heard Their Cry"
(Lessons of finding freedom in the midst of Lift's trials)
SENIOR HIGH AND THEIR PARENTS
Led by Tom & Judy Cleveland
The High Schoolers and their families are using the easy to understand "Passport" books written by Chuck Swindoll to help stimulate discussion around the basic tenants of our faith.
EIGHTH GRADE AND YOUNGER
Led by Kelli Larson, Youth Ministry Coordinator
The kid's are using the "One Room Sunday School". They have started at the beginning with Adam and Eve and are chronologically working their way through the Bible. Soon they will be working on the Christmas program which will be out of this world!!
Bulldog Builders
Led by Tom & Judy Cleveland
Bulldog Builders is an ecumenical group for all High School aged youth in the Ogden area interested in learning and growing in Christianity.
The BULLDOG BUILDERS
meet every Wednesday evening at 8:30 pm at CUMC in the lower level.
Among the chaos, We are called to rest in the Lord, not to seek comfort from the world. The Lord is in control and is our source for comfort and peace.
Please encourage the High School kids you may know to attend and find peace and guidance in the Lord's word.
The world may indeed be unsettled, but we need not be.
For the students who attend Bulldog Builders, our mission trip is a much anticipated event. During our spring break, youth active in Bulldog Builders are invited to travel south to Timber Creek Camp in south central Mississippi. We all spend the week helping the staff at Timber Creek prepare the camp for their summer camping season. While a lot of work is accomplished, it is also a week of fun, fellowship and faith.
COVID cancelled the Farm Progress Show in Boone this past summer. Cancelled with it was the food court we run at the show. Without the food court income, our mission trip funding was lost and the trip became doubtful.
To raise funds for the trip, we have decided to offer for sale the same t-shirt the students on the trip will receive. It is a long sleeve comfort color shirt with printed emblems on the shoulder and chest. The cost of the shirt is $25.00. Many of you have already received a letter with an order form to purchase the shirts. If you are interested in supporting our youth, but did not get an order form, call Tom (515-230-6200) or Judy( 515-230-3366) and arrange for a t-shirt.
