INVITING NEW MEMBERS
Find Out What Membership at SMCCUCC Means, Sunday May 24

During our Sunday morning worship on June 7, we will be welcoming new members into the congregation. Prior to that, we will be hosting a workshop to meet with folx who are interested in membership so that they can find out more about us and what makes us the church that we are.

Sunday, May 24, members and friends alike are encouraged to stop into the Fireside Room after worship to have a time of fellowship, introduction and inquiry revolving around membership at San Marino Congregational United Church of Christ. We’ll have some entertaining lessons on what we believe (and don’t believe) as well as sharing and a tour of the church.
