CUMC TO HOST UMM DISTRICT RALLY...
"How to Stay Christian without Giving up Your Masculinity"
Saturday, April 17th our church has been honored by being asked to play host to our 2010 Bartlesville District United Methodist Men's District Rally. Details are still in the planning stages, but we know that our guests will include Stu Krum, Vice President of Shell Oil Company and former place kicker for the University of Tulsa, and George Houle of the General Conference on Men's Ministries of the United Methodist Church. In addition, Bishop Robert Hayes, Jr. will be here to bring the message.
Also, we are inviting all men to bring their children or grandchildren, for fun activities including a "father-child / grandfather - grandchild" golf outing (no prior golf experience necessary). The meeting will include lunch.
Plans are still being formulated. If you would like to help us plan this exciting event, please call the church office at (918) 256-3665. All men are invited to attend with their children / grandchildren!

Welcome to Cleora United Methodist Church
As Pastor of Cleora United Methodist Church, I would like to personally welcome you to our website.
Our mission is to share God’s love and bring hope to the world. I hope you will take the time to explore the many opportunities here at CUMC to share Christ, grow in faith, to serve our community, and to share in the rich and exciting fellowship that has been our heritage for nearly 100 years.
As each of us goes through our weekly routine, we so often get beaten up, discouraged and lost in the hectic schedules of our lives. It is our prayer that through our worship services, you will find the courage and strength to begin each new day with a new spirit of hope.
Because we live in a resort community, we understand your desire to “make the most” out of your weekends. That’s why we begin worship on Sunday Mornings at 10:00 am, and end promptly at 11:00 am. Sunday School is at 9:00.
We hope that whenever you visit our area, you will consider us your “church home away from home.” Or if you are new to the area, or just seeking a new church home, that you will find in us, a friendly, warm, and loving place to get in on all God is doing in our midst.
Come see for yourself why they call us “The Friendliest Church in Green Country!”
Yours in Christ,
Rich Brasher – Pastor
