ONGOING AND UPCOMING EVENTS



Electronic Giving is here at CCB!

The Stewardship Committee has enrolled our church with Vanco Services to provide our members and friends the option of giving one time gifts or paying pledges electronically. Electronic giving offers convenience for members and provides much needed donation consistency for our congregation, like during the summer months.

To enroll in this service, click on the Stewardship tab on the left hand side of this page. At the top of the Stewardship page is a banner with a link to our secure on line giving site where you can enroll. We on Stewardship are excited about this new option. We are here to assist you if you have any questions.


Yankee Fair, Saturday, October 16th

If you’d like to be part of a committee for this year's fair, please contact Dave Honeyford. The fair is always a great day for the church and the community.  The Barn will be open to receive donations from 9:00am to Noon on the following Saturdays: September 11th, 18th, 25th, and October 2nd.
 


The Language of God You can help the UCC share its new “viral” ad!

Check the church website (www.uccb.org) for a new 90-second ad for the United Church of Christ, "The Language of God." The ad invites you to explore what it means when, in our denominational lingo, we say "God is still speaking," Through a montage of images and music, the ad celebrates the visible signs of God's grace that too often go unnamed and unclaimed by religious people.  The power and affordability of this so-called “viral” messaging on the internet is considerable: if each of the UCC’s 25,386 Facebook fans posts the ad, it will reach 3,554,040 viewers in minutes. If others forward the video link by e-mail to friends, millions more can learn about our great church. 

Please join us in sharing the Good News!


 Attention internet shoppers!

Now the church can receive a 2-40% commission on every on-line purchase you make, if you use CCB’s new internet shopping portal.   There are stores like Macy's, Toys-R-Us, Babies-R-Us, Drugstore.com, Kohl's, Target, Home Depot, Best Buy and 1,400 more.  Just visit http://www.shoptoearn.net/uccb and click on Retailers, scroll down and find your favorite store to shop in.  IMPORTANT: Enter this web address directly into your computer browser.  Close all tabs when doing this, and be sure you do not use any default search engine (Google, etc.), or the church will not receive its commission when you shop.  If you have questions, more information on how this works is in the December issue of CrossWays, or you can call Margitta Savo.
