Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth. – 2 Timothy 2:15 NRSV

Final Instructions to Timothy

Mark Kramer, a member of the Berean class and one of our favorite teachers, is looking forward to being with CUC the next two Sundays. His friend Bob Fletcher told him that he was with us the past two Sundays and taught on I Thessalonians. Since that was the first letter that Paul wrote (although some say Galatians was) Mark decided to teach on Paul’s last letter: 2 Timothy which he thinks is his favorite book of the bible. He suggests that everyone reads the entire letter which is just 4 chapters.
Key verses are 2 Timothy 1:6, 2:2, 2:15, 3:16-17 and 4:2-3.

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!
