On Wednesday, October 1st, we'll begin our next 13-week GriefShare cycle. GriefShare is designed for those mourning the loss of a loved one; a spouse, a child, a parent, a close friend. Each week we'll meet from 1:30 to 3:30 PM. We will view a video, and discuss both the video and daily exercises. You will have the opportunity to share with others who are grieving, others who understand what you are going through.  

Registration fee is $20; it covers all 13 weeks, and includes your copy of the GriefShare workbook. Scholarships are available. You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each is “self-contained,” so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. You will be able to continue with GriefShare through the next 13-week cycle and view any of the videos you have not seen. Registration can be found at this link.

Get into the Christmas Spirit this year by attending the Sunday School Christmas Pageant! The pageant will be performed by the children you know from our congregation. Come see the action, the music, the drama, and the pageantry as the Christmas story unfolds with a few new twists and turns and a bit of humor. ***Disclaimer – the following reviews are slightly modified quotes taken from the internet from other pageants very similar to ours***

“A stunning performance and stunning message. Thank you for bringing Jesus home to the open hearts of Lansdale!”

“I came today with unforgiveness in my heart toward someone. Through this pageant message, God touched my heart and I truly feel released of this. Thank you, CUMC. It was MAGNIFICIENT.”

“Charming family fare that also uncovers the true, not commercial, meaning of the Christmas.”

“It is not Christmas without attending your presentation. It is wonderful.”

You don't want to miss this pageant! Mark your calendars now for the one and only performance on December 7th at 9:45 AM in the Sanctuary!
