BULLETIN BOARD
 DECEMBER 2007

PRIVACY ACT ~

Due to the new privacy act the hospitals are no longer informing our pastors when their parishioners are hospitalized. It is the patient or their family's responsibility to inform the pastor or the church office so visits can be made.

We are on the Web:
http://www.cfirstumc.org/
 NOTICE:
We will be changing our website's name very soon.
It will be http://www.cfirstumc.com
Please bookmark it for future use.
Thank you.

*BORROWING POLICY -

Members only!  If you wish to borrow old tables/chairs from the church, please call the office 593-2525 to reserve your date. When you return the tables, PLEASE stack them UNDER the white ones (the wooden tables are considerable heavier than the white plastic ones & will cause damage to them.



Monthly Committee Meetings

The church office mails committee meeting reminder cards 2 weeks prior to the scheduled event.  Chairpersons of committees are asked to call the church office in advance if a meeting has been cancelled or rescheduled.  This will save the church unnecessary mailings

JANUARY NEWSLETTER DEADLINE IS DECEMBER  18!!

Please remember the deadline for our monthly newsletter is the 2nd Tuesday of this month.  If you would like an article published in the newsletter you MUST turn it into the church office No later than the 2nd Tuesday.  Your promptness helps us be more efficient.
It is early this month because of Thanksgiving being this month.
