4 Advent Service Projects - 4 ways to bring your gifts to the Christ child

Angel Tree:  
Throughout Advent
Throughout Advent, bring gifts to share with children whose parents are in ICE detention or have been deported.  Take a tag from our angel tree; white poinsettias are for new shoes, tags with red poinsettias are for new coats.  $40 maximum per purchase.  The tag will tell you the child's name, age and size.  Bring the gift wrapped, if possible, with the poinsettia tag taped on the outside before Wednesday, December 17.  Or, if you prefer, write a check to CUCC with Angel Tree on the memo line. This project is a continuation of our Oaxaca journey.

Neighbor to Neighbor Christmas Celebration Desserts:  
Drop off at CUCC by December 4
If you can provide a dessert of 10 child-friendly, individual servings on December 5 for the N2N mentoring program, contact Dawn Koonce (co-chair, CUCC's Community Outreach Ministry) at tigerfan2125@gmail.com.  Label your treats "N2N" and put them on the kitchen counter or, in the refrigerator, if needed.  Please use a container you do not want returned to you.  The desserts will help the children enjoy their Christmas celebration.


Wright Center Meal Provided by CUCC Youth:  
Cooking and Serving December 15
On Sunday, December 15, CUCC's youth will cook at 11:00AM,  and serve dinner from 6:30-8:30PM.  If you want to offer adult support, contact Śānti Matthews, CUCC Youth and Adult Education Coordinator, education.cucc@gmail.com.


Christmas Caroling at Morningside Assisted Living:  
December 22, noon to 1PM
Gather immediately after 10:30 worship in the Fellowship Hall. Just before noon we will walk across the street together to Morningside to sing Christmas carols and spread cheer.  Carolers of all ages are welcome; children, please bring a parent.  Song sheets are provided to jog your memory for the words.  If you have questions, contact Anne Moorman-Smith, CUCC's Choir Director, moorsmit@aol.com.
