CBUC offers most of these programs at no charge to participants.
If you are interested, just register or drop in. Church membership is not necessary.
This year, instead of having ‘family nite’ on a regular night every month, we have decided to mix it up a little to allow for families of all ages and stages of life to participate in a variety of offerings. More details for each of these activities will be on the church’s website, in the newsletter and in the Sunday announcements. You can call the office to clarify or ask questions. These are open to individuals and family groupings of all ages.
Oct. 1st, 2011 – Barn Dance –starting with a potluck dinner at 5:30p.m.; come join others as we eat. After packing up the dishes we have brought we will join in a floor stomping, roof raising experience of dancing to the live music of the Cadboro Bay Ramblers. These dances will be called and taught so that persons of all ages can join in together for a mighty fine time! Get into the spirit of the whole thing and come dressed in country wear. No registration required, come and enjoy the event!
Nov. 6th, 2011 – Ukulele Community Event – starting with a light lunch following the Sunday service and coffee hour, come join others as we learn the basics of the Ukulele. Together we will learn to play a few songs as a group. Renewed interest in this instrument is sweeping the nation and we hope to catch a bit of that spirit as we sing and play together in one voice. Cost: $5.00 per person. To register click here
Dec. 10th, 2011 – Christmas Cookies, Crafts and Carols – come join us for an informal afternoon of baking and eating Christmas goodies. Make a few crafts and sing some carols. This is a time to visit, share stories of Christmas’ past and hopes for the future. Smells, sights and sounds of Christmas will all be present on this afternoon to share with your church family. No registration required, come and enjoy the afternoon! 2:00pm – 4:00pm
Feb. 11th, 2012 – Guess who’s coming to Dinner??
5:00 – 8:00 p.m. A mystery dinner with a twist. Congregational members and families will have the opportunity to sign up to be either a host or a guest for a dinner party with others in the congregation – the twist is – the host will not know who is coming and the guest will not know who’s house they are going to until the last minute. Surprise, delight, laughter and deeper connection to others will surely result from this delightful evening. Some ‘sign ups’ will cater specifically to families with children and others will cater to ‘adult only experiences’. Intrigued? Good …sign up! Cost: $20.00 per person/ $10.00 child/ $50.00 family.
