We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

We Are Missionaries to Alabama, How About You?
We are delighted to have Rusty  Gordon back visiting CUC this  Sunday with his  message being: “We are missionaries to Alabama, How about you?”
