			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple weeks ago we gave the site a huge facelift. Everything should be bigger, brighter, and easier to find. While we were at it we edited the Statement of Faith and the Mission Statement. Nothing major, just updated the wording a little.</p>
<p>When we updated the site we temporarily took down the store. Good news, the <a href="http://uscobm.com/store/">store</a> is back up. We made some minor changes and ordering items should be a bit easier and streamlined. Let us know what you think and email <a href="mailto:shop@uscobm.com">shop@uscobm.com</a> if you need help or run into any problems. Today we also added a section that answers the question of how <a href="http://uscobm.com/street-team/">members can help</a>; check it out.</p>
<p>What else is to come in the near future? Among other things, monthly articles and new items in the store. Check back often and we&#8217;ll keep you updated.</p>
