The CGS prayer chain email address is cgsprayerchain2@gmail.com
Lynne Rivera, our parish nurse, is responsible for the prayer chain. If you would like to be added to our prayer chain, please send your request to the address above, leave a message in the Church Office at 626-447-2181, or talk to Lynne at the Sunday services.
Send your prayer requests to the new address and mention whether you want the information disseminated to other members of the prayer chain. If you want your prayer request to be shared only with Pastor Eva, state that in your email or call the Church Office and state your request for limited dissemination.
For several years, confidentiality of health information has been an important issue for hospitals and other health care facilities. Pastor Eva and other church staff cannot access patient admissions. Therefore, it’s imperative that you notify the Church Office if a loved one is hospitalized, including the facility name.

Our United Methodist Women’s Crafts Group meet Wednesdays at 2:00-4:00 p.m., in the Church Library.
All women are invited and all types of crafts are welcome with the proceeds from items made then sold at UMW Boutiques going toward mission projects.
Bring your own projects to work on or come on Wednesday night and see if there is something you’d like to help create. Sometimes there are group projects to work on, but most of the time everyone works on their own favorite craft.
We also encourage crafters to participate in the boutique sales with crafts they have made at home during the year.
