Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God?

The Temple of God
Dave Mueller will be leading our CUC Class this Sunday with the second part part of a series. The title he’ll use is “The Temple of God”. The scripture will be
1 Cor. 6: 19-20. “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own: you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”
CUC Sunday School Class on Zoom and Back to RUMC
Thank goodness for Zoom! This Sunday will be the 32nd Sunday we have met on Zoom. This past week some of us also got back in our classroom. On Zoom there were 72, 17 were in class, making a total attendance of 89.
Sunday we will again have the Zoom meeting in the CUC classroom. It will be displayed on the TV screens in class so it’s really a hybrid meeting. There is a capacity for 47 in the classroom.
Online Attendance Register for SS Classes
Be sure that you register your attendance – either Zooming or on-site participation online using your personal cell phone or tablet. Class members will initially go online to: http://www.rumc.com/connect-card to register within Ministry Platform. After that, each time you sign-on you will just need to select the event that you are attending to register. If you are attending CUC on Zoom you will do the same to register your attendance. The system will allow you to choose between “Sunday School – 9:30 am” OR “Sunday School – 11:00 am.” When you choose the time that your class normally meets, the system will then automatically connect your attendance to the CUC class.
A Note from CUC President
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.” John 3:36
There is a striking difference between knowing about God and knowing God. We may know the right God-words yet not experience God. Only in Jesus, the Son of God, can we truly know God the Father…
What we think of God makes a tremendous difference in our lives. Where we get our ideas of God makes a tremendous difference too. We can gather up data and develop our own image of God, or we can allow God to reveal himself in a self portrait—his Son, Jesus Christ…- Reuben R. Welch
I will not be with you this Sunday, as MariAnna and I will be attending the wedding of our oldest Granddaughter. You will be in the highly capable hands of our Vice President, Sandy Martin. See you on November 15.
God Bless you all,
Fred Brown

Big Thank you to CUC Angels from Mary Kay Mills
To My CUC Family:
Don’t know where to begin thanking all of you for everything that you have done to get me through my extensive bout with leukemia. The many cards & prayers I have received (and are still receiving) have been such God-sends & you will never know how much they have helped & supported me. In addition I thank you for all the wonderful food I have received since returning home. Such a good variety & all meals have been so delicious & enjoyed by many family members; we appreciate your taking the time and effort to do this.
I begin another round of chemo tomorrow. (Last Monday) While I am currently in remission, this new treatment protocol consists of a combination of a series infusions & a pill regiment which is supposed to help prevent the leukemia from returning. According to my doctor, they have had very good results with those in the “senior category” which definitely includes me! We will see! The really good news is that this series will be given as an outpatient at Northside Forsyth; no more trips to “pill hill”! For this I am asking for continued prayers; I feel they will go a long way toward completing the healing process.
Once more, THANK YOU to everyone for everything! God’s continued blessings to all; I feel so honored to be a part of such a special family!
