Lord teach us to pray – Luke 11:1
CUC HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS.
It seems to be the consensus of the majority that we cancel CUC for the next 2 weeks.
Additionally, I just learned worship has been cancelled for 2 weeks. I will let Jim McCormick know as he has emailed me about Sunday.
Stay well!
My words of wisdom:
- Wash your hands and say your prayers
- Germs and Jesus are everywhere.
Sandy Griffin
Who is This?
One of our favorite teachers, Dr. Jim McCormick has our lesson Sunday. His lesson title is “Who is this?” Jim is on track to give the programs at CUC for the next four Sundays, through Palm Sunday. His topic for the series is, “Who Is This?”. This week the lesson planned is: “Who Is This? Jesus, the Man of Prayer”. Scripture: Luke 11:1-4
CUC Refreshments
We are thankful for our CUC refreshments each week. This Sunday they will be provided by Beth & Bob Hamilton and Norma & Dave Hills.
There will be no coffee service however.

Donations to Flood Relief
CUC has sent $4,540 to Christ United Methodist Church in Jackson, Mississippi.
I am most happy with the number of CUC members that stepped up to send aid to those in need. Our average Sunday attendance is 100…….Our giving was at 80 percent. What a wonderful world……..Thanks! Jim Boswell
CUC Small Group Dinners
Plan to sign up to attend or host one of our CUC April Small Group Dinners! We started passing the clipboard for the Small Group Dinners last Sunday.
We will continue to do that through March 29th. Kris Taylor will take email requests through that date as well. Our committee will meet to make the assignments on or about March 30th….so all who are interested should get on the list before the end of the month.

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.
