HOT MEALS PROGRAM Each Friday evening, at 5:00PM, the church prepares hot meals for any person who wishes to participate. We have served as many as 150 meals in one evening. The kitchen is used by those who volunteer to serve in this particular ministry of the church.

REUBEN'S REPORT

At the season of Christmas the church puts on an indoor-outdoor living nativity drama called "Reuben's Report." This program is usually for Friday night through Sunday night. Trips are conducted each half hour from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Reuben, a shepherd from Bethlehem, takes each tour from the annunciation to Mary all the way through the escape to Egypt. He also narrates the life of Christ from His ministry to His death and Resurrection. Salvation message is proclaimed to all who attend. The cast includes men, women, children and some animals.

SERVANT EVANGELISM

Various committees and groups within the church have adopted projects which they will perform during the year. These projects are acts of service to those outside our church, with no strings attached to the deeds performed. Examples are washing car windows, washing cars, helping shoppers on rainy days with umbrellas, taking cookies to safety forces, etc. Donations are not accepted for these services, as they are done to demonstrate the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He freely gave of His love to free us from our sins and present us to His Father without blemish.

ANGEL TREE CHRISTMAS Angel Tree Christmas is a ministry of Community United Methodist Church. Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree gives churches an opportunity to share Christ's love by helping to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the families of prisoners. Participating in Angel Tree is a powerful way to lovingly answer the biblical call to minister to the “least of these”. Angel Tree Christmas works by connecting parents in prison with their children through the delivery of Christmas gifts. Local church volunteers purchase and deliver gifts and the gospel to children in the name of their prisoner-parent. Christmas 2007 provided CUMC members with the opportunity to serve 11 children and their families; we look forward to increasing the blessing to our community in 2008.
