Christian Family Fellowship recognizes the need to minister to and care for one another beyond our current volunteer ministries. The Helping Hands restart would expand our opportunities to help others, not necessarily in our church only,·but as a coordinated outreach to those around us. Possible areas of help include:
► Driver or companion to and from appointments
► Snow shoveling
► Seasonal cleanup
► Special building or cleaning projectere you can further participate with the body.

CFYouth is looking into an opportunity to go to Texas to serve for a week in July 2024 at a special needs camp. If you are over 13 and interested in attending, please talk with Adam or Laura Copper about signing up. We will also need a couple adult volunteers to serve alongside the youth for the week. CFF family, please be looking for opportunities in the year to support our Youth.
Awana still needs a couple of men helpers.
The Awana store would appreciate monetary donations or items to sell in the store.
TOT GYM
Shake It Off Tot Gym is started up again on October 11th! It runs from 9:30 am - 11:30 am on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. Tot Gym is a warm and safe place for toddlers and preschoolers to play and burn off some energy while moms and caregivers meet and build relationships. Tot Gym could use a volunteer to help set up on Tot Gym days at 9 am. Please call Sarah Comstock or Jane Mattox if you are willing to help. Thank you!
Do you have a heart for reaching outside of the walls of our church? Are you burdened to see the Great Commission fulfilled by our congregation in Canon City and our neighboring towns and cities? Get involved in outreach!

Music and Blossom Festival: May 4
White Water River Festival: July 26-27
Colorado State Fair: August 23-0ct 2
Apple Days Penrose: October 6
Trunk or Treat Canon City: October 26
Please prayerfully consider if the Lord is calling you to serve in this capacity! We will also need cookies to pass out at these events, so consider helping that way as well. Please let Steve Skelton know if you are available for those dates!
Save Your Cans
Ella Rose has graciously offered to collect aluminum cans to benefit the church youth. Please save your cans and put them in the barrel on the east side of the ‘Lighthouse’ building. If you don’t know where the Lighthouse building is, it’s to the left of the church office. Ella checks and empties the barrel periodically and turns in the proceeds to the church office. Thank you, Ella, for taking on this ministry!
Daily Bread's Discovery Series
You will notice outside the Prayer Room (by the coat rack), there are several different booklets available with interesting topics. Please feel free to take one or two. They are free!
Children's Church is in need of teachers. It would involve a one Sunday a month commitment. All supplies and lessons are provided and ready for you each Sunday. You do not need to have a teaching certificate or extensive Bible training or knowledge to be qualified. All we ask is that you have a personal relationship with Christ, attend church regularly, and are willing to share God's truths to the children. You can even learn alongside the children as you go. Please let me know if you are interested or if you have helped in the past and would like to continue helping.
Volunteers are still needed in the nursery! Lately ,we haven't had many children in our nursery at CFF. But, we want to make sure that if we have visitors that someone is available, especially if those visitors are looking for a church family. Please consider taking a monthly turn to make sure this ministry is available each Sunday morning. If you have any questions, please talk with Sarah Comstock.
Thank you, Sarah Comstock
