“Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with Water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

Acts 1:4-5

After Easter Clearance

Our own Jeff Coelho will be our speaker for CUC this Sunday and his subject is “Really…..Is Easter Over?”.

CUC Refreshments

We are thankful for our CUC refreshments each week. This week they will be provided by Garlinn & Mike Story and Babs & Shaw Skillings

CUC Small Group Dinners

Here is your chance to have a nice evening out sharing food and fellowship with a small group of 6-10 fellow CUC members at one of our homes.

Donna and Vince Grosse and Julianna Goodson have been busy assigning 99 people to individual homes for small group dinners during April and May. You will be hearing from your hosts soon if you have not already.

Homestretch Road Race

The Homestretch Run the River Road Race is coming up on Saturday April 14th. Volunteers are needed for activities very early that morning such as parking and route monitors. See Tom Knight if you want to help.

HomeStretch Congregation Challenge

There is still time to support Dr. Tom Davis in his 5k run in the HomeStretch Run the River race on April 14. RUMC is trying to win the Congregation Challenge with the most donations among 19 congregations.

Checks should be made payable to RUMC with HomeStretch Congregation Challenge on the memo line. (If you pay in cash, please note paid on the sign up sheet in class.) Please sign up and donate to this worthy cause. Questions? Contact Lynn Adcock

CUC Prayer Requests

• Bob Davis for improved health
• Mary Serafina asks that we continue to pray for her daughter Pam Pruit as she battles cancer. Pam feels your prayers and feels God’s hand on her life.

Please pray for needs expressed and unexpressed for friends and relatives of CUC class members who are facing illnesses, loss of loved ones, and important decisions to be made.

Little Things Mean a Lot!

Please remember to keep collecting and bring to Sunday School your flip tops from cans for Ronald McDonald Houses and your box tops and labels for Redbird Missions.
