CIC’s Living Nativity A huge thank you to everyone who helped set-up and host another successful Living Nativity. We had roughly 84 cars (estimated 200 - 250 people) come through the beautifully lit drive, which was lined with roughly 230 luminaries. The pedestrian area was warm and inviting, and everyone enjoyed the vast array of delicious cookies, hot chocolate, cider, s'mores and hot dogs. Again, thank you to everyone who helped with set-up, parking, food, luminaries, and clean up. A special thank you to Christine McElevy for supplying the spools that were used as tables. |

Greetings CIC! One thing that makes the work of the Stewardship Committee a pleasure is the level of commitment of the members of our Community in Christ. When pledges are made, they are consistently fulfilled. Please take a moment to see where you are in meeting your pledge for 2023. We do not currently create giving statements as we have in the past, but if you cannot determine from your own records where you are with your pledge, please reach out to our treasurer, Jordan Morris. Jordan's email address is below. Remember that Jordan is the only person in the church with knowledge of pledges and year to date giving. As we move into fall, if you have been busy and let your pledge fall behind a bit, thank you for catching it up. This allows us to end 2023 on a positive note and move smoothly into planning for 2024. CIC Treasurer, Jordan Morris treasurer@cicpres.com |
