CUC Newsletter – December 2, 2022

By Doug Tatom on December 2, 2022

Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel, Isaiah 7:1

Sunday, December 4, 2022

Gabriel and Mary

Martha Jane Mason continues with our Advent Series this Sunday morning with Chapter Two of “The Angels of Christmas, Hearing God’s Voice in Advent”. Her lesson title is “Let It Be, Gabriel and Mary”.

Luke 1:29 NIV – Do not be afraid Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.

For the next 3 weeks of Advent we will continue to be guided by Susan Robb’s book; “ The Angels of Christmas, Hearing God’s Voice in Advent”. Susan Robb’s Videos explore the visits and dive deep into the history of angels surrounding the birth of Jesus with Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. These lessons use the angelic appearances to discuss God’s presence in history and our lives today. The messages of the angels hold meaning for listeners both then and now.

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! 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. Also during the class please be sure to MUTE! Thanks for everyone’s cooperation on this!

CUC Newsletter for November 6, 2022

By Doug Tatom on December 2, 2022

How from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:15-17

Sunday, November 6, 2022

Don’t forget you can get an extra hour of sleep on Saturday night as Daylight Saving Time ends,and you can have plenty of time to get to Sunday School!

The Apocrypha

Dean Tucker will be continuing his very interesting two part lesson on the Apocrypha. The Apocrypha is not considered, by most Protestant denominations, as the inspired word of God and was never canonized. Nevertheless, the Apocrypha was written by Godly men and thus considered of some value. Dean thanks the CUC class for the opportunity to present his research findings on the Apocrypha these two Sundays.

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 or flu) CUC is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

CUC Newsletter – November 25, 2022

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. – Psalms 91:11

Sunday, November 27, 2022

The Angels of Christmas

Jeff Coelho will teach CUC on November 27th as we observe the beginning of the Advent season. For the next four weeks of Advent we will be guided by Susan Robb and her book; “ The Angels of Christmas, Hearing God’s Voice in Advent”. During these next 4 weeks Susan Robb’s Videos will explore the visits and dive deep into the history of the angel Gabriel-and other angels-in the Old Testament and surrounding the birth of Jesus with Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. These lessons use these four angelic appearances to discuss God’s presence in history and our lives today. The messages of the angels hold meaning for listeners both then and now.

Luke 1:11-13KJV And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

Scott Dickson will be our CUC teacher again this coming Sunday. He is starting to write a series of lessons based on his Favorite Hymns. He is going to continue our CUC lessons on the hymns. His title: My Favorite Hymns – Holy, Holy, Holy. Verse: Isaiah 6:1-3 (NRSV)

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty, and the hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And one called to another and said, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.”

CUC Newsletter – October 28, 2022

By Doug Tatom on October 28, 2022

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 NIV

Sunday, October 30, 2022

Dean Tucker will be providing a two part lesson on the Apocrypha on October 30th and November 6th. The Apocrypha is not considered, by most Protestant denominations, as the inspired word of God and was never canonized. Nevertheless, the Apocrypha was written by Godly men and thus considered of some value. Dean, a retired Oglethorpe professor, thanks the CUC class for the opportunity to present his research findings on the Apocrypha over the next two Sundays.

Must Neighborhood Pantry Update

Our next MUST Neighborhood Pantry is Monday, November 7th. Our August pantry served around 80 families. In September, that number grew to 125 families. Our October pantry served almost 175 families. This now makes the MUST Neighborhood Pantry on Mimosa the largest of MUST’s 32 neighborhood pantries!

Want to help? This month, we need three main things: Laundry detergent (the larger size to last a month), Feminine hygiene products (pads more popular than tampons), Dog food + Cat food + Cat litter.

Why dog/cat food? North Fulton Community Charities told us there is a high demand for pet food among their clients. One client said, “Sometimes, when I’m at my lowest point, my dog is the only one who loves me. Thank you for helping me take care of him and show him that same love.” We can help with this!…

Donations can be dropped-off at the pantry building at RUMC Sundays 9:00-12:00 PM or on Monday, November 7th 12:00 PM-4:00 PM.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. Hebrews 12:1

Focused on Jesus

We are delighted to have Cheryl Rogers as our guest leader this Sunday in our CUC Class. This will be something special it seems, as the piano is being moved to the front of the room. As Cheryl describes her program….“It will be a little bit of a potpourri of some music/comedy but also a short talk on building spiritual muscle memory and keeping our eyes focused on Jesus”.

MUST Neighborhood Pantry

The MUST Neighborhood Pantry on Mimosa is gearing-up for its next grocery distribution on Tuesday, September 6th. Though most pantries will be held on the first Monday of each month, the September pantry will be on a Tuesday because of the holiday weekend. Because the pantry is now monthly, the larger size of detergent and larger boxes/bags of pads are ideal. Each month, the pantry will also ask for donations of a “special item” that has been identified as a need in the community. Throughout the month of September, we will collect paper towels and bath towels, which will be distributed to our client families at the pantry on October 3rd. Donations of laundry detergent, feminine hygiene products, paper towels and bath towels can be dropped off in the pantry building on Sundays 9:00 AM-12:00 PM or on the day of the pantry (Tuesday, September 6th) 12:00-4:00 PM. For more information, contact Scotty Brewington (scotty@marketjet.com) or Mary Ann Bender (mabender2@gmail.com).

Volunteers: Still several open shifts! We need lots of volunteers to pack produce and groceries, unload the MUST delivery trucks and distribute groceries to families. Note that the produce team shift has moved to 1:00-3:00 PM to help bag the MUST produce delivery, which is delivered around that time. To volunteer in-person for any and all shifts, sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409084fabad29a31-myneighbors1

Sunday, August 28, 2022

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy:16-17

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 again this Sunday. His friend Bob Fletcher told him that he was with us and taught on I Thessalonians. Since that was the first letter that Paul wrote, 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.

MUST Neighborhood Pantry

Each month, the pantry will also ask for donations of a “special item” that has been identified as a need in the community. Throughout the month of September, we will collect paper towels and bath towels, which will be distributed to our client families at the pantry on October 3rd. Donations of laundry detergent, feminine hygiene products, paper towels and bath towels can be dropped off in the pantry building on Sundays 9:00 AM-12:00 PM or on the day of the pantry (Tuesday, September 6th) 12:00-4:00 PM. For more information, contact Scotty Brewington (scotty@marketjet.com) or Mary Ann Bender (mabender2@gmail.com).

RUMC Mission Booth

From Annette Whaley:

If uncertain about what we will take, email me with pictures at thewhaleys2@bellsouth.net or call/text at 770-634-2289 to Annette Whaley.

If you have a whole house of items and need pick up that can be arranged with 2 weeks notice (maybe less). Items in boxes and bags can be dropped off at church office or if just a couple of pieces of furniture and you want to drop it off at City Antiques Mission Booth, I or one of the Booth Babes will meet you there. These 2 booths have been donated to us by City Antiques and all the money goes to various missions. So try to go by and support City Antiques. It is a wonderful place to browse and find a treasure.

CUC Newsletter – August 19, 2022

By Doug Tatom on August 19, 2022

Sunday, August 21, 2022

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.
