“Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing, yet, if you say so, I will let down the nets….they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break.”
Luke 5:5-6

Change
Marion Brown, Associate Pastor – Missions and Outreach, will be presenting our lesson this Sunday. The title of her lesson is: “Change”. The scripture verses for the day are stories that will be discussed and connected which are found in Luke 5:1-11 and Luke 19:28-40. We are happy to have Marion back. She was with us in September of 2018. We look forward to her presentation this Sunday.

CUC Chick-fil-A Tour
The Chick-fil-A tour is Monday, April 15th. We will meet at the church at noon and board the buses and leave at 12:15. Google says it will take us 59 minutes, which will leave time to get there, park and be ready for the tour which is SOLD OUT. Tour is 1:30 – 3:30.
- remember to eat lunch prior to coming to the church
- wear comfortable walking shoes
- business casual attire
PLEASE, call or text Patricia Lanham if you are not going to be joining us for the tour. See you at noon!
CUC Communications Reminder
If you have something to be communicated to CUC members during the week or to be included in the CUC weekly newsletter, please send it to Sue Waite’s email address, not to the address that you receive the weekly CUC newsletter from. That address is mainly used to send the large number of emails to the whole CUC address list and is not checked for incoming messages on a regular basis and important messages are sometimes missed.
Hospitality Opportunity
If you missed the small meeting after CUC class last week, GOLF CART DRIVERS are needed to drive the 3 battery operated golf carts for 30 minute shifts on Sunday morning.
- The times are 9:00 to 9:30, 10:00 to 10:30 and 12:00 to ~12:15
- We are looking for at least 9 drivers each Sunday with “Big Smiles” to drive four (4) shifts over a one month period.
- Routes will be defined and the opportunity to serve others will be unlimited.
- Contact Jim Boswell if you would be willing to help with any aspect of this hospitality ministry of our church.
Lenten Luncheon
This Tuesdays, April 16, is the last time to join other RUMC members for a Lenten lunch in the Fellowship Hall at noon, followed by a message from Dr. Jeff Ross. No reservations are required: cost for lunch is $6.
RUMC Prayer Walk
Mary Stokes spoke to the CUC Class this past Sunday, strongly encouraging members to set time apart to use all or part of the one-mile Prayer Walk which has been developed and upgraded on the RUMC campus. The stations start at the Magnolia and Mimosa corner parking lot and each one has a box which contains a prayer and supporting scriptures. The prayers for this period of Lent have been written by Dr. Harvey West.
