YOU+ME=WE MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT SEMINAR
Saturday, February 14, from 10am to 2pm
Albert Einstein once said, “Women marry men hoping they will
change. Men marry women hoping they will not.” Change is
inevitable, growth is optional.
This informative and entertaining marriage enrichment event includes a
candid presentation by Bob and Diane Nations, a happily married
couple who enjoys sharing their experiences on how to build and
maintain a healthy marriage. Bob brings experience in helping couples
as an ordained minister, marriage and family therapist and counselor
educator and supervisor. Diane brings her great experience in marriage
by living with Bob.
This most enjoyable event will provide time for group interaction and
questions, some experiential exercises on relationship fundamentals
and dedicated time for couple interactions. Spiritual, emotional, and
relational topics will be addressed. Couples will have an opportunity to
learn more about themselves, their partners, and how to build a healthy
marriage.
Cost is $20 per couple, and includes a special Valentine’s lunch, plus
lunch and childcare for any children.
This could be a great Valentine’s Day gift for your spouse, or your
adult children!
Tickets are available in Holy Grounds on Sundays, online at
christgreensboro.org, in the Church Office, or in the Gathering
Space during Welcome Wednesday.
This event is sponsored by the Family Life Work Area.

Narratives are the stories surrounding Jesus’ betrayal, death, and resurrection, which we traditionally commemorate
during Holy Week. Our study will end right before Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, making this a timely
opportunity to remember Jesus' death and celebrate the power of his resurrection.
MISSIONS
Senior Wheels
Are you looking for a way to serve your community? Senior Wheels is a program that provides rides to people who cannot
drive to their monthly medical appointments. We are looking for volunteers who are available either in the morning or the
afternoon for the third Wednesday of each month. You do not need to be available every single month. Christ Church is
responsible for four riders each month but if we can increase our pool of available drivers, we could do more. If you are
interested and/or have questions, please contact Linda Danford ([email protected]).

Helping Hands for Hunger
Helping Hands for Hunger is a CUMC mission project that, twice a year, packages nutritious, dried meals to be shipped to
starving children around the globe. The next packaging event is Saturday, April 18, and HHH needs your help to secure
the $20,000 needed to package 80,000 meals. If you are considering making an honorarium/memorial to someone in the
church or simply want to contribute to the upcoming HHH event, please prayerfully earmark your check “Helping Hands
for Hunger” and send it to the church office. Your contribution will foster our vision of a world without hunger. For
further info or questions, contact Steve Danford: [email protected] or 373-1120.
OUT OF THE GARDEN, INTO THE BACKPACKS
Help us pack thirty-one bags of food every week for school children and families in need. A collection rack is located
outside the Church Library. We especially need canned vegetables. Collection needs include pasta and pasta sauce, rice,
macaroni and cheese, canned chicken or fish, peanut butter, crackers (especially ones that come in sleeves like Ritz or
Saltines), granola bars, cracker packs, cereal (especially instant packs), and canned ravioli or spaghetti.
CUMC LIBRARY TO BE RENEWED
A new committee is forming to work on updating our Church Library. We will meet on Sunday, February 1, at 12:15pm
(please note time change) in the Library. Our tasks will include sorting and organizing our collection along with
cataloging and developing a check out system. Please contact Lynn Long ([email protected] or 299-1571 ext.
314) with questions or to let us know you will be joining us.
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC MISSION TEAM NEWS
Looking for a guilt-free reason to find warmer temperatures? Be the hands and feet of Christ while you enjoy the
warmer temperatures of the Dominican Republic. Come and serve with our small group from February 22 to 28
while we continue to partner with Igelsia Evangelica Metodista Libre in San Pedro de Macoris and begin
construction on the second floor of the Church School that CUMC began building six years ago. This will be a
building team working with concrete and columns while enjoying fellowship with Christians from the States and
the D.R., and wearing shorts in the warmer temperatures. Our goal is to erect nine columns in February in order to
finish the second floor of the School building during our second trip July 7–13, 2015. No experience is needed, just
a passport, the need for warm weather, and a servant's heart. Cost for the trip will be approximately $900 to cover
transportation, lodging, and food. If you feel called to serve, but can't make the February trip, we will be returning
July 7–13, 2015, for a larger missions trip. In July, we hope to finish construction on the second floor, lead a VBS
for 400 children and direct a medical clinic for five days in the local community.
Feel free to contact one of the team leaders, Mark Ledford at [email protected] or 336-317-1013, or
Anna Brown at [email protected] if you have any questions.
In addition, we are also now accepting pre-sale orders for Mark's Annual Super Bowl Chili that will be ready for
pick up on Sunday morning, February 1, in Holy Grounds. Quarts are $8 apiece, or two quarts for $15, and will
support the 2015 Mission Trip planned for July. We will be accepting orders on Wednesday nights, Sunday
mornings in Holy Grounds and you can also email orders to [email protected]. Orders will be
accepted until Tuesday, January 27. Thanks for supporting the 2015 DR Mission Team.
Building on Faith: Habitat for Humanity’s Lenten Building Project
We are joining thirty churches and Habitat for Humanity this year to build two homes for two families. Please prayerfully

trained staff to show you what needs to be done. This Building On Faith community build will kick off on February 21.
All building days will be Saturdays. For more information, see the Habitat for Humanity link on the CUMC website

our children as they raise funds to benefit our Out of the Garden ministry as well as the Dominican Republic Children’s
Bible School. If you have a 1st–6th Grader who is interested in serving, they must sign up on the bulletin board outside the
Church Office. There are limited amount of serving spaces. You may also email your child’s serving request to Teresa
Slack at [email protected]. The shifts are thirty minutes long and you will need to drop off and pick up your child ontime at the beginning and end of their shift. Parent volunteers are also needed; sign-ups will be on the bulletin board as
well. Please consider bringing individually wrapped desserts to be shared, to be dropped off the morning of the event in
the Fellowship Center. We look forward to seeing you all there ready to serve or be served! Sponsored by Children's

Special Winter Events
February 11: Mardi Gras Celebration
February 18: Ash Wednesday Observance
WINTER SESSION CLASSES FOR ADULTS
Financial Peace University
24/6: A Spiritual Life Book Study with Pastor Mike Bailey
(Drop-ins are always welcome!) “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.”
Sounds nice, but how do we find rest in a 24/7 world? Just as the Hebrews
were slaves in Egypt, we have become slaves to technology. Our
technological tools allow 24-hour productivity and connectivity, give us more
control, and subtlety enslave us to busyness itself. Sabbath is about restraint,
about intentionally not doing everything all the time just because we can.
Setting aside a day of rest helps us reconnect with our Creator and find the
peace of God that passes all understanding. The Sabbath is about letting go of
the controls one day a week and letting God be God. So how do we do it?
On the Path to Better Health, starts February 25
A Lenten Exploration for body, mind, and spirit. Presented by the CUMC
Health Ministry Team, this study brings together six different one-week
