Rev. Mark Holland of Mainstream UMC (formed to fund, staff and organize a global campaign to pass the One Church Plan) will lead a presentation focused specifically on the One Church Plan and how it allows the context of the local church to determine the scope of their ministry with LGBTQ persons. The One Church Plan would free CHUM from any restrictions in their ministry with LGBTQ persons. The event at 2:00 pm will be open to CHUM and other UM churches in our area (invite your friends from other UM churches). In addition, Rev. Mark Holland will be our guest preacher at both CHUM wor-ship services that morning.

CHUM PRIDE 2018 What a fabulous day! Over 50 CHUMites gathered to walk in the Pride Parade this year. We decorated the van, decorated each other and handed out CHUM Sunglasses and Frisbees to the crowd along the route, both of which were a big hit for the parade goers. Pride this year was a big success, so big that they actually ran out of Pride buttons for the festival. Thank you, College Hill for your love and support. #whereloveislove
AGAPE, Rm. 201 - It was nice to see our travelers back in the group again! We viewed and discussed "Being a Roman Christian". Kind of a "Don't ask, don't tell" situation. Start thinking about future class topics/series/books. Wiebe's treat next.
BUILDERS, Rm. 305 - We are studying a new DVD series entitled “Chuck
Knows Church” which is a fun collection of all things about church. Please keep Charlie, Nori, Mark McKee, Janis Meredith, George, and the family of Deputy Kunze in your prayers.
CHILDREN, Children’s Center - Sunday, we will not have Sunday School
classes since it is the first Sunday of the month which is Family Worship. We will be back in our classes on Sunday, October 7th. Bibles will be given to our 3rd graders in both services and a sandwich lunch will follow the 10:15am service for the families of the children receiving their Bibles.
COMMUNICATORS, Rm. 301 - We will continue our study of Miracles
with Donna Caywood leading on Sunday. Calendars: meet at Chum on Tuesday, October 9 at 4:30pm to carve pumpkins and enjoy a baked potato bar, October 14 Meet and Greet, and November 16 Thanksgiving dinner at Deuser’s. Prayers: Donna’s cousin, Linda, and sisters, Janice and Marilyn. Next devotions Pat Lipper.
CONTEMPORARY STUDIES, Rm. B5/7 - Finished up September with
twenty-two enjoying cookies from this weekend's Richard D. Greene Memorial Lecture Series. Happy Birthday this week to Carl Martin. Keith Williamson reviewed our chapter on "Finding Our Type". Tabletalk focused on how we fit into the Triads. Sunday, "Type Eight: The Challenger".
DOUBLE CIRCLE, Rm. B4 - We continue our study on Genesis 2: 8-17
and 22-24. Think back over your life or perhaps just the last couple of days...how have you experienced the consequences of sin, of things you did or said or facile to do or say that you knew were not consistent with God’s will? Why are we so quick to blame others for our sinfulness? Think back to a time when you did just that!
TRAVELING COMPANIONS, Bride’s Room B14 @ 11:15 am - Join us
for discussion on spiritual development and personal growth. VICEROY, Rm. B3 - We continue with Point of Power, by Dr. Paul
Hasselbeck. We talked about the spiritual power, of seeing the divine spark in other people, and how hard it is to "Love your Enemy" in the last week.
