We will meet in the sanctuary at 10:30am and then gather in the main church yard where the festivities begin. Please bring a pot luck dish to share. Invite family, friends and neighbors to visit with us. All are welcome! See you on September 7!
Claim your 30-seconds of fame
At Welcoming Sunday last year, Welcoming, Fellowship, and Growth Ministry invited members and friends of the church to say a few words "on camera" about what they like about the church or what draws them to CUCC. During the fall of 2013 these clips were rotated on the church website as a way of presenting a human face to our Internet presence. (We are a church of people, not of buildings.) This year we invite you again to take part in this videographic event which paints a picture of who we are. The camera will be set up in the Bradow Room during the Welcoming Sunday festivities following 10:30 worship. The camera will be running constantly. Just drop in at the Bradow Room, sit down, and have your say. Thanks on behalf of WFG!
Food Bags for Urban Ministries Due this Sunday
Food Bags for the Urban Ministries Food Pantry are due this Sunday, September 7th.

Bring them to the church and drop them off in the shopping cart located in the Vaughan Fellowship Hall. You may also drop them off at the Pilgrim house during office hours (9:00am-1:00pm, M-F). The items to include in a food bag are:

Those who come set the topic for the night as we ponder how to connect what we believe to what we do - 6:30pm for those who want dinner; 7:00pm for beverage-only people. Dutch treat. Look for our red Life & Faith comma at the corner round table at Tyler’s Tap Room - 18 Seaboard Avenue, #150, Raleigh, NC. For more information, contact Jane Smith.

Are people getting the medications they need? What about those who are sick and who are not getting the support of family or friends? How might volunteers from CUCC assist with the needs of these patients?
September 28: Dr. Charles van der Horst, physician for HIV/AIDS patients at UNC’s Infectious Diseases Clinic, and strong advocate for Medicaid expansion, will be joining us to talk about the impact on patients resulting from the continued erosion of medical benefits for his patients.

West Raleigh Presbyterian Church – Fall Art Exhibition
You’re invited to submit artwork: The Circle of Life is the theme of West Raleigh Presbyterian Church’s fall exhibition in the Voice of the Spirit Gallery. This theme is rich with possibilities for interpretations in visual and literary arts.
There are many references in the Bible to this circle/cycle from birth to death. Sometimes it is the changing of the seasons: For everything there is a season… (Ecc. 3:1). Sometimes it signifies maturing as in 1 Cor. 13:1: When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways.
What do these words mean to you? How could you interpret it in paint, clay, jewelry, or other art media? Maybe you are not inclined to think about this topic as visual art, but would to write a poem or short story. We would be happy to display your written work in the gallery and/or post it on our arts website.
All works should be submitted to Room 103 on Sunday, September 7 or 14 after church. If you have questions please contact Barbara Carlson at jerrybarbara333@gmail.com.
