“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:14-16.

Our CUC Super Bowl Party is this Sunday Feb 4, at 5:30, at The Mellow Mushroom, at 935 Woodstock Road. It is going to be a good party! For questions contact Jeff Coelho or MariAnna Brown.
Murphy Harpst Birthday Party
Thank you, CUC Class, for generously supporting efforts to make our fourth annual birthday party at Murphy-Harpst Children’s Center on February 10th a success. Bingo games we visitors play with the residents are an important part of the afternoon, and small prizes won mean a lot to young winners.
The following are suggested prizes and tokens for good behavior: decks of cards (regular playing cards or Uno or card games), hair accessories (bands big or small, headbands, brushes), small action figures or Legos, gel pens, Cokes/Dr. Pepper/Orange Fanta soda, Starburst/Sour Skittles/Pixie Stix, stuffed animals. The committee would appreciate class members shopping for any of these items or checking at home if you have them and can make those donations. You may have some other ideas for creative and appropriate prizes! A box in the classroom is available to receive them until this Sunday, February 4. THANK YOU!
Homestretch Peachtree Tea
The 11th annual Peachtree Tea to benefit Homestretch will be held February 27, 11:00 – 1:30 at the Country Club of the South with a champagne reception, luncheon and auction.

Joan’s son Bob and his wife Sally were with her at the time of the passing; these are two wonderful people. Bob said his mother was very comfortable and her suffering was over and that she is now in a better place with God in charge. My sister leaves many relatives in the Atlanta and Reno areas. Son Bob and his wife Sally are the parents of twin grand daughters that are raising seven great grand children that Joan was always so happy to be with at family functions.
