“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

Sunday, March 29, 2020

Our hope as Christians always has been and always will be in the love and provision for our Lord.

• He assures us that when we pass through waters, rivers and fires, I will be with you (Isiah 43:2).
• He meets our needs by His grace (Philippians 4:19),
• offers His sustaining joy and peace (Philippians 4:4-7) and,
• one day, leads us to our eternal home (John 14:3)

Message from Sandy Griffin

Hello Fellow CUC’ers. I do miss being with all of you. We will all be together again! Having said that, there will be NO CUC this Sunday. Pray that we will all be back to church Easter Sunday!! Please pray for our daughter Kelly as she has been exposed to the virus by her neighbor (her sister-in-law) also pray for the sister-in-law!

I am quoting from Dr. Jim Denison here;

“The four most welcome words in the Bible are God is for us. The unchanging creator is for us. His love is constant and unchanging, He is not plotting to take us down, He wants to build us up, He hasn’t turned away from us, He has turned towards us and is inviting us to run to Him for peace and strength.”“While we do not know why God allows all that He does, we are convinced that He redeems all He allows.”
Charles Spurgeon “without Christ there is no hope, but if our hope is in our Lord, pray and let God worry.”

Trivia question: How many does the Bible say Jesus fed with the loaves and fishes?

First one to send me an email with the correct answer will get their prize when we meet again!

Words of Wisdom

Once a man was asked what he gained by regularly praying to God? His reply

“nothing..but I have lost anger, ego, greed, depression, insecurity and fear of death”. Sometimes the answer to our prayers is not gaining but losing;which ultimately is the gain. Anonymous
