    Time Capsule

    We invite you to speak to future generations through the CMC Time Capsule project. You may download the appropriate template form below to record your hopes, fears, personal anecdotes and prayers with future CMCers. Your completed form will be placed with others in a time capsule and preserved for fifty years in the CMC archives. The Time capsule will be opened at CMC's 150th birthday celebration in 2060. Prayerfully consider what you might share with those who will be serving God in the latter half of the 21st Century.
