The Fall 2011 publication of

"What’s Up…in the CWM” is online

and in the Mail!

I would encourage all of you who have access to the internet to view “What’s Up…in the CWM” online, and those of you who attend church regularly to read one of the copies and leave it or bring it back for the next person. Unless of course there is a photo of you, your child or another family member in the newsletter. Then by all means take it home and save it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Photojournalists needed!

In January we’ll be publishing an online only edition of “What’s Up…in the CWM”. We’ll review Christmases in the CWM and we need you to volunteer to take photos of your congregation’s events. Talk to your pastor today and make sure your congregation is represented.

New Community of Christ Hymnal on Horizon

Listen to the music of a new Advent hymn that will be featured in the new Community of Christ Hymnal. The words and music to "Come and Bring Light" were written by Kevin Kell and the hymn is performed by the Center Place Singers. 
In anticipation of the new hymnal's availability in 2013, several "Joyful Noise" workshops will be held around the USA in 2012. The first one will be held at the Temple, February 11-12, 2012. Come and familiarize yourself with the new hymnal's musical styles, worship planning techniques, theological content, topics, and more.
