1 After this the LORD appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the LORD of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
Luke 10:1-3

Murphy Harpst Birthday Party
From the CUC Mission Outreach Committee:
Thank you, CUC Class, for providing a successful birthday party for residents at Murphy-Harpst Children’s Center on February 22. Thirteen of us were on hand there in Cedartown, GA, to set up party supplies and interact with those teenagers, but credit for their smiles goes to the whole class.
You donated funds and awesome Bingo prizes for that day. We met the new Recreation Manager, Jessica McWilliams, who understands this special population and shares mutual respect with them. Jessica led some of us to the new athletic field, a need finally realized, where these young people can now play various sports.
A new goal is to incorporate canine therapy at M-H, enabling young people to bond with dogs when human contact is difficult. Thanks again for your help with the party.
Mardi Gras Party
CUC’s second annual Mardi Gras Day Party last Tuesday was a great success and lots of fun. Thanks to Garlinn and Mike Story and the CUC Fellowship Committee.
Mississippi Flood Relief
Jim Boswell is coordinating contributions for Mississippi flood relief. Make checks payable to CUMC (Christ United Methodist Church) in Jackson.
From Jim & Linda: CUC has pulled out all the stops to give your financial support to the flood victims in South Jackson Mississippi. As of Thursday your contributions, including our $1,000 match, brings the total to $2745.
We have not received our mail today (Thursday) and I know there are checks in the mail. If YOU are interested in getting us past $3500 you can hand me a check on Sunday. The Lord is Good and So I Thank The Lord and Christians Under Construction.

CUC Sunday Cares and Concerns
On Sundays there is a basket with cards and a pen for you to write down your prayer requests and/or thanksgivings. It will be on the table to the left as you come in the double doors. After you fill it out, give the card to Sandy Griffin and she will read it from the podium. Our prayer requests are too important and we want everyone to hear them.
Please pray for needs expressed and unexpressed for CUC members, and for friends and relatives of CUC class members who are facing illnesses, loss of loved ones, and important decisions to be made.
