All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”

Believe Ministries Benefit
SAVE THE DATE – MAY 10, 2018 AT 6:30 PM
This year’s benefit will be May 10, 6:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall. The CUC Fellowship Committee is again making this one of CUC’s social events and will be coordinating our participation.
The Bereans Sunday School Class has challenged CUC to a “participation” contest for this event. So, put this date on your calendar and be prepared to sign-up via a “Clip Board Passing” that will begin next week. We don’t want to come in “Second” to the Bereans! 😛
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.

- Ron Fox brother-in-law of Beverly Tatom and her sister, Judy, for healing, peace and comfort as Ron battles COPD.
