Costume Poetry Slam with Cafe Style Coffee and Dessert


November 16, 7:00pm, in the Vaughan Fellowship Hall. (This is our NovemberFest celebration)  
Select a favorite poem or literary piece or song lyrics to read (or better yet write something of your own!). The poem should be short, lasting 1-2 minutes. Then wear something that relates to or enhances the reading. Coffee and dessert will be served cafe style by our youth wait staff. We'll give mock prizes and have some fun with this new idea!

CROP Walk 2013

Join CUCC for the CROP Walk on October 27 in downtown Raleigh!

What: The CROP Walk is organized through the Church World Service to raise money for hunger relief in our community. The walk is a family friend event with 1 mile and 3.1 mile routes.

When: The CROP Walk is held on October 27.  Our CUCC team will meet at the giant acorn in Moore's Square at 2:30 to prepare for the walk at 3:00.

Where: The routes begin at Marbles Kids Museum in downtown Raleigh. Meet up with members of our church team at 2:30 at the giant acorn in Moore's Square so we can walk and fellowship together!

Why: Donations to the CROP Walk go to hunger relief agencies right here in our community!

Who: Everyone is invited to walk with us!  This is a fun, easy walk for young and old alike.  If you can't walk the routes, please consider donating to our team!

How: Pick up a registration envelope from the CUCC office or from the CROP Walk table in the Narthex after worship service on Sunday mornings.  For further information, please contact Laurel Powell (laurel.powell AT gmail.com).

After the CROP Walk:  Potluck supper for the walkers!
CUCC's family potluck group invites all CUCC CROP Walkers to join them for a potluck supper at CUCC immediately following the walk.  You may bring your dish to share to worship in the morning; Jane Smith will refrigerate it for you.  Or, bring it with you when you come to supper.  Jane will set up tables and a water/milk station.  She asks everyone who joins the meal to help clean up.

The 25th Annual Walk For Hope is Almost Here!

(The favorite service project of many CUCC Youth and families!)
Don’t miss it! Come walk, help out, feel great, and have a fantastic Angus Barn lunch!
Details are below:

Sunday, October 13: WALK FOR HOPE - Walk to benefit quality care and research for those with mental illness. This walk takes place during worship and is the way our youth will worship and share God's love on this special day every year. If you can't come to the walk, remember that there will be no Church School this Sunday!

How do I register?
If you want to participate in the Walk for Hope on Sunday, October 13, please register ASAP. Register at www.walkforhope.com; if you have participated in previous years, login with your email and password (if you don’t recall your password, you can ask to have it reset and you will be sent an email). If you have not participated before, select register, then fill in every required field. Community UCC is our team name. Repeat if there are more of you to register. Each individual has to be entered separately. You can make donations at this point as well. Every little bit helps!

What time do we meet?
We will meet at 9:30 at the registration area, but it takes a good while to get there, as you have to park at the airport and take a shuttle. Please allow plenty of time.  I will have my cell phone with me. If you have trouble finding our group, call Śānti's cell phone.

Where do we park?
All walk/run participants park in the Walk for Hope parking lot (Raleigh Durham Airport Park & Ride Lot # 5 on Commerce Blvd just off Lumley Road click below for map) where you can ride a shuttle to and from the Angus Barn. There are signs along 540, Hwy 70 and Lumley Road that will direct you to this parking lot. Please do not drop off participants in front of the Angus Barn! There is too much traffic in front of the Angus Barn and this is very dangerous.

What if I want my t-shirt before the walk so I don't have to change or carry a shirt?
I will have shirts at my house by 6:00 on Thursday night. Call me if you want to arrange pick-up.

What if I need a ride to the walk?
Contact Śānti.

What if I just want to contribute funds?
You can go to the Walk for Hope website www.walkforhope.com, and follow the directions to contribute online. You can contribute to a walker or our team in general.
 
What if I don't have any Walk for Hope questions?
Then you can stop reading this email.... oh, too bad, it's already over.

Jesus called his disciples friends.

Bethany Suggs describes the "extravagant welcome"
While we know you’ll make friends as you worship, do justice, and learn together, we hope you also take time to enjoy each other.

Enjoy helping with hospitality?
