In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we are asking those who are able to either make a one-time financial gift or to share their stimulus money with CUF. If you are able to financially give more as a one-time gift or by sharing your stimulus money, we would welcome your gifts however you choose to give them – mailed or online (please specify “Capital Fundraising” in dropdown menu). |

Wondering about Fall? So are we all!
| Trustees and Deacons meet again Sunday, August 23, 11:30 am on Zoom following worship. This meeting will clarify church plans for the next season, consistent with Maine public health strategy. Continued participation and energy have been very good for CUF over the summer. Wisdom may lead us to continue dispersed worship, experiment with combining in-person and online gathering, or something new for all ages. Your input and ideas can be directed ahead of time to Ed Brazee, chair of Deacons, or Rachel Dobbs, president of Trustees, or to the ministers. Thank you for your part in care, action, prayer, study, generosity, welcome, and volunteer effort for this community.
