“Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.” Hebrews 13:7 ESV

Malone’s Legacy

Roger Davis will lead CUC’s lesson this Sunday, discussing some of the history of RUMC, remembering the legacy of Malone Dodson, and playing the video prepared for Malone at his retirement. The video will help us recall the life and ministry of Malone for those who knew him as our leader and introduce him to those who have joined RUMC since Malone retired.

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!
