CBS Needs Volunteer Service Leaders
Let’s keep our Shabbat services going through the summer and into the fall.
We need congregants to facilitate a Friday night (7 pm) or Saturday morning (10 am) Shabbat service. Services can be entirely in English or Hebrew/English hybrid.
Emily Fuller and Dan Edidin have provided Friday night and Saturday morning service outlines for leaders to use as a guide. Click hereto view Friday and here to see Saturday. Copies will be on the bimah too. Use all or part of the guide, along with your own readings/prayers.
Be creative! Do it with a friend!
Choose the Reform (Mishkan Tefilah) or Conservative (Sim Shalom) prayerbook to design a service. Pick up a copy of either during Emily’s office hours (T-F, noon – 5 pm).
CBS needs volunteers to pick up challah loaves at Goldie’s on Friday afternoons and to bring treats for Shabbat onegs.
Sign up to pick up challah here and for Shabbat onegs here.
We appreciate everyone’s help!

In months with a fifth Sunday, CBS provides a full dinner to fellow Columbians in need through the Loaves & Fishes program. We are serving Sunday, June 30th, and we need donations of food items as well as volunteers to set up, serve, and clean up.
Bring food to the Ashley Street Center, 1509 Ashley Street (use the door with the ramp), at 3:30 pm – note time and venue change! – that day. Volunteers setting up/serving/cleaning up should also arrive by 3:30 pm. We expect to serve about 85 people, and the need for volunteers to serve is especially critical.
Earlier this year, the CBS Board of Directors adopted a new policy at the recommendation of the Communication Committee ceasing mass digital communication during Shabbat and work-restricted holidays.
Under this policy:
Services will be streamed via Zoom and Facebook. No mass emails or social media posts will be sent from noon on Friday afternoon until 6 am Sunday morning.
No emails or posts will be sent from noon the day before work-restricted holidays to 6 am on the day after.
This includes:
Shabbat
Rosh Hashanah
Yom Kippur
Sukkot (days 1 & 2)
Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah
Pesach (days 1, 2, 7 & 8)
Yom HaShoah, Shavuot (though 2nd day)
Tisha B’Av
Exceptions:
Cases of safety or security
Updates/changes to services, religious school, etc.
Death notices at the request of the family
Communications sent during Shabbat or Yom Tov must be done with the knowledge and approval of clergy.

Hot and dry weather is here!
The gardens on either side of the sanctuary doors make up the memorial garden. It takes extra water in the summer to keep them looking good.
We need volunteers to take a turn with the watering. Click here to sign up for a date.
With questions, click here to contact Tanya Christiansen. And thanks!!

Lunch in the Park returns this summer to the Armory, 701 E Ash (note: not Douglass Park). Volunteers assemble and serve sack lunches to children and are welcome to interact with the kids as well.
CBS volunteers are needed for dates in July. The lunches are served from 12 noon to 1 pm, so volunteers should be at the Armory by 11:45 am and plan on staying no later than 1:15 pm.
Do we have your family’s information listed correctly? If not, or if you need to add someone, please send a note to Mary at maxmax@mchsi.com.
CBS maintains the yahrzeits of Temple Beth El in Sedalia.
