What’s Love Got To Do With It?

One of our favorite teachers, Bob Fletcher will be our CUC speaker again this week. His title this week is “What’s love got to do with it?” 1 Thessalonians 3:12

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 Attendance

Back to School, Back to Church Sunday

After the 11:15 church service this Sunday there will be BBQ, ice cream, food and entertainment in the parking lot by the Fellowship Hall. There will be seating outside and also available in the Fellowship Hall and Dining Room.

Parking will be blocked off this Sunday in the upper parking lot by the Fellowship Hall for the BBQ to be set up. We hope to have a few golf cart drivers available to help transport members to the B building classrooms and to and from the Sanctuary. There will be at least two golf carts running from 9:30 -10:00, 10:45-11:15, and 12:00-12:45 and maybe throughout the BBQ .

There will be a volunteer from CUC or Crosstalk out to move cones as needed for cars to drop off any members with mobility needs. Tables and chairs will be set up, but there should be room to drop off and turn around depending on how everything is set up.
