Dear friends,

Greetings and  peace to you in Jesus Christ!

August 2012 is time again for churches to plan to observe CCM Sunday. Many churches choose the last Sunday of August (26th August) to observe CCM Sunday, but if that Sunday does not fit your worship schedule any other Sunday in the same month will also do.

CCM Sunday is an important opportunity for congregations within the CCM family to worship and pray together. Following the theme this year, we hope churches together will view their  role  in promoting a culture of peace  in Christ and living in such a way that it impacts society.

For those congregations who continue to send in their offerings to CCM, we are thankful and greatly encouraged by the support received. For those congregations that have not sent in donations in the past, we appeal to you for your support. The Heads of Churches have requested that every single congregation of the CCM family should pledge a Sunday offering, or, make a donation once a year. This should not be confused with the donations towards the CCM building project. CCM Sunday donations go towards our general fund, which is one of the main source of income.

May we request your help to publicize the ministry of CCM in your congregation. It may also be a good occasion for a pulpit exchange with a neighbour congregation.

A poster, an order of worship and an envelope will be sent to you by the first week of August. Should you require more than that kindly fill up the form and send it back before 31st July.

May God’s blessings  be upon your church and your ministry.

Yours faithfully,

REV. DR. HERMEN SHASTRI
