Praying for Those You Love

We will be having Debbie Goodwin teaching the CUC lesson again this week. Her subject is “Praying for Those You Love”. We are looking forward to her lesson. She will continue to speak based on the scripture…

The earnest prayer of a righteous man has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16b

CUC Sunday School Class

We continue to have class both in the classroom and on Zoom. We still have Zoom for those of CUC who prefer to stay at home or who are away from home! (And for those with or exposed to Covid. ) CUC is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Those attending class via Zoom should be signed into Zoom and admitted no later than 9:40 AM to prevent feedback noise. Thanks for everyone’s cooperation on this!

CUC SMALL GROUPS
