Fake News!
Scott Dickson will present the CUC lesson this coming Sunday. He always brings us a good thought provoking lesson. “Fake News!” is the topic. And at least the starting point will be:
1 John 4:1 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

A Note from CUC President
Fred Brown
As long as Jesus is one of many options, He is no option. As long as you can carry your burden alone, you don’t need a burden bearer. As long as your situation brings you no grief, you will receive no comfort. And as long as you can take Him or leave Him, you might as well leave Him, because He won’t be taken half-heartedly.
But when you mourn, when you get to the point of sorrow for your sins, when you admit that you have no other option but to cast all your cares on Him, and when there is truly no other name that you can call, then cast all your cares to Him, for He is waiting in the mist of the storm……..
