The CUCC Church-Wide Outdoor Event is HERE!

THIS Saturday April 29 at 3PM — Sunday April 30 at 11:30AM!
PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY FOOD WITH ANY NUTS, NUT BUTTER,
OR ALMOND MILK TO THE CAMP-OUT!



It should be a nice but a hot day. There is plenty of indoor shelter if the weather changes.
We'll enrich our connections to God and each other through story and time in the beautiful woods of Camp CRABTREE in Umstead Park.
If you're spending the night, there are plenty of small rustic cabins - each has four single beds with mattresses. 
Tents, alcohol, and pets are not allowed on the grounds.
If you are coming for the afternoon and evening only, the park gates close at 8PM, and no one is permitted in or out after that time. 
Please join us until 7:30PM, and then make your way out, or count on spending the night!
Dinner starts at 5:15PM. Mark Riddle, our storyteller will engage us in story from 6:15-7:15PM. Breakfast is at 8:00 and worship is at 10:00AM on Sunday.
