The week of November 4 -11 CUCC was a beehive of activity as we prepared our building and grounds for Advent. It may look like we worked hard, but there was lots of time to catch up on family news, exchange witty repartee, and groan at some truly terrible puns. Inside, teams replaced all of the screws in our tables to prepare for the groaning meals of the holidays, and finished painting the pastors' office.

Outside, we raked mountains of pine straw, removed three dead trees, and trimmed (okay, we decimated) bushes that for years had blocked the light from our rooms.
