Supporting Those Who Mourn
We look forward to having Ron Greer with us again to teach our class next Sunday. His lesson will be a follow up to the talk he gave at RUMC last fall on his book The Quiet House. He spoke then of the loss of a spouse and the importance of expressing our grief. On this Sunday he will shift the focus to how we can best support those who have suffered a major loss in their lives, ” Supporting Those Who Mourn”. Here are several passages of scripture connected with the lesson: Genesis 33:10, Psalm 23, Psalm 62

The support from CUC with cards, food and calls have been amazing. There are not enough ways to say thank you for the kindness shown to me during my health issues. I am on my way to recovery and look forward to returning to CUC soon.
