CUMC family,

 The weather forecast is calling for a wintry mix again for this weekend.  Hopefully, it won’t be as bad this time.  Whenever there is ice, snow, or a wintry mix and we feel that we can still have church, the main concern is for your safety.  Please prayerfully consider when you feel it is safe for you and your family to attend on days of inclement weather.  We will have the information concerning cancellation of all services on television:  WSOC-TV  and WBTV in Charlotte. We will also have the announcement on WMNC 1430 radio and on our website www.christumcdrexel.org. 

We will soon be able to have a message on the church phone for your convenience. 

Also, if we only have the 10:55o’clock worship service, there will be no Sunday School. 

Hopefully, with all these options, you will hear the news!

 

From Pastor Martha

Our Mission Christ United Methodist Church has been called to be a living light unto the world and through Christ, give light to all mankind.  May our lives so shine that others may see the living Christ in us. In this impersonal age in which we live, where our identity is often reduced to being just a number, we each need a place where  we are highly regarded as a unique creation of God.  At Christ United Methodist Church, we are welcomed as we are and valued as a gifted member of an extended family and a vital part of the body of Christ.   *********************************************************************************************

The United Methodist Church:

      Beliefs: With Christians of other communions we confess belief in the triune
God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
This confession embraces the biblical witness to God’s
activity in creation, encompasses God’s gracious self-involvement in the dramas
of history, and anticipates the consummation of God’s reign.

     The created order is designed for the well being of all creatures
and as the place of human dwelling in covenant with God.
As sinful creatures, however, we have broken that covenant,
become estranged from God, wounded ourselves and one another,
and wreaked havoc throughout the natural order.
We stand in need of redemption.
