Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (James 5:16)

When Moses Prayed as an Intercessor
Debbie Goodwin will be our CUC teacher this Sunday and next. Her subject this Sunday is “When Moses Prayed as an Intercessor” using the scripture from Exodus 32:9 &11
“I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked people . . . But Moses sought the favor of the Lord his God. “O Lord,” he said, “why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand.”
Debbie always gives us an interesting lesson.

Newsletter Delivery Problems
For some unknown reason some CUC members have not been receiving the weekly CUC newsletter which is nearly always sent out sometime Friday morning. If it happens that you do not receive it, check your “Junk” file. If you do not find it there you may email suewaite@bellsouth.net to have it resent it to you. Also Gene Osborn, within a short time after he receives the newsletter, posts it on the CUC website. You can always find previous newsletters there too. (In fact you can actually view newsletters and CUC lessons from several years back thanks to Doug Tatom and the work he did in creating and maintaining our CUC website.)

CUC Fellowship Plans
The Fellowship Committee has been hard at work planning some social events for the class. Our first event will be on Wednesday, February 28th. We are going to meet and play games and then go to Wednesday night supper together, which will be fun. Our room has been reserved from 3 – 5, and we hope you will bring your favorite game to play or just come and play and then we will have supper together.
You see the SAVE THE DATE notice of March 17th for Brunch after our church services. The menu and pricing will be coming soon and we will need to make reservations and pay so Jacob knows how many to prepare for, so put the date on your calendar.
Then in April, we will pass a signup sheet for small group dinners in May and we also are looking for a large space to have a dinner in late May. The Peach and Pork Chop is no longer in business so we are hoping to find another venue, preferably outdoors. If you have a suggestion, please let one of us know.
Our Wednesday Night Out dinners will begin in June. This is a full social calendar so mark your calendars and plan to join us!

A Note from RUMC Leadership:
Periodically we have visitors on our campus that have come to seek help. They may need food, help with their rent or utilities, or seeking help with a place to stay. These days of rising costs are causing many to seek assistance. As much as you would like to give them funds out of your own pocket, we ask you to please not do so. We are set up with North Fulton Community Charities and MUST Ministries for those in need to come to them and receive assistance. Both of these wonderful organizations can offer them guidance to not only get immediate assistance, but also guidance for stability for the future. Thank you for your help.
