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.)

SAVE THE DATE

SUNDAY MARCH 17, BRUNCH AT NOON ,CUC classroom , Details to follow !

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.

News from Worship Arts

After an extensive search and a very thorough vetting process, the Worship Arts Director Search Committee has selected Angela Lepkofker to be the new Director of Worship Arts replacing Dr. Michael Cromwell. The committee, our clergy and our Sanctuary Choir felt that the gifts and graces that Angela possesses best fit the needs of the Worship Arts program. Angela is a former member of the Juilliard Opera Center and excels in concert repertoire. She was Adjunct Professor of Voice at Nyack College in NY and at The King’s College in NY, Professor of Music at Free Will Baptist College in Nashville, and taught English Diction at the Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, and Mannes School of Music. Angela has been Director of Music at several churches including Emmanuel Faith Community Church in CA; Grace Church in NJ; Southside Baptist in Nashville, TN; Crestview United Methodist Church in Austin, TX; and New Hope Baptist in Mauldin, SC. Angela is married to Todd and they have two children, Charlton who is 23 and Ryun who is 15. Please keep this family in your prayers as Angela “officially” steps into her permanent role.

Upcoming RUMC Activities

We kick off 4 new classes on this coming Wednesday, January 17:

Wednesday Night Supper Classes/Studies

There are 4 new studies beginning this Wednesday January 17. There is something for everyone. Whether you are a seasoned bible study veteran or just getting started, this semester, we have great classes to strengthen your spiritual muscles and help you grow closer in relationship to Jesus and others.

1) Celebration of Discipline- We have a 12-week study on Richard Foster’s book, “Celebration of Discipline” beginning January 17. Each week, we will focus on a different spiritual discipline, what it means, and how it helps us grow in our relationship with Christ. These classes are taught by RUMC clergy and some of the best lay teachers at RUMC. Each week is open and anyone can attend any class at any time. No registration required. 6:30-7:30pm in the Trinity Cafe.

2) All About Joy: A Study of Philippians- written and taught by Debbie Goodwin, this 5-week series looks at the book of Philippians and the Joy found within. Each week is open and anyone can attend any class at any time. No registration required. 6:30-7:30p in B252

3) Becoming Disciples through Bible Study– this is a “fast track” 12-week survey study of the Old Testament. This updated and streamlined version of the original Disciple Bible study is great for first time Bible students, long time scholars, and everyone in between – even those who have done the study previously. The 12-week courses lead you through the Old Testament with guided reading, small group discussion, and brief video presentations from Bible scholars. Each section is open to men and women of all ages. This study has a start time of 7pm and runs 90 minutes. Registration is required and it will close after the second class (1/24). 7-8:30pm in the Dining Room.

4) The Epic of Eden: Isaiah- Dr. Sandra Richter takes participants back to the eighth century BCE. This ten-week study explains Israel’s religion and economy, explores the definition and role of the prophets, and helps us to apply the message of this great champion of the faith to our lives today. Registration is not required but consistent attendance is expected. This class will close after the second class (1/24). 6:30-7:30pm in B246/248

THE APOSTLES OF JESUS: THEIR LIFE & MISSION

Dean Tucker will be leading a discussion in our CUC class on the apostles for the first two weeks in January. His lesson is entitled: “THE APOSTLES OF JESUS: THEIR LIFE & MISSION”. The Bible verse most appropriate for this lesson series is found in Mark 3:13-15 “Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve – designating them apostles – that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and have authority to drive out demons.” This is a lengthy lesson so he will be concentrating on the early part of the apostles’ calling for the two weeks he is with the CUC class

Dean says: “Thanks for asking me back to speak to your class. It is always a pleasure for me to interact with the CUC Christian Community. I learn so much from the interaction.”

Murphy Harpst Christmas Presents Fund

For several years CUC has regarded Murphy-Harpst Children’s Centers as a mission worthy of our interest and financial support. This Methodist not-for-profit institution provides a home, school, and therapy for young people who have suffered extreme mental, physical, and social abuse. They are wards of the state of Georgia receiving care from a dedicated professional staff. Usually around 75 of them are housed on the campus in Cedartown, GA.

Just 2 weeks ago we received news about how CUC can help to provide a merry Christmas for these teenagers. Gary MacDonald, now in charge of this project, expressed the hope that CUC would again fund Christmas presents for these young people. Our class has favored donating money or checks made out to Murphy-Harpst on Sundays in December. Only December 10 comes before the deadline of December 18 and we will pass the Christmas basket this Sunday. Please be prepared on Sunday to help with this worthy need.

We collected $1,035 last Sunday. A collection basket will be passed around again this Sunday. This will be the last time to donate for Christmas presents for the home’s children. Make checks payable to CUC and mark “Murphy-Harpst” on the FOR line. A check for the total collection will be mailed to Murphy-Harpst next week.

Prayer Requests:

Virginia Hardy -Pray for comfort and healing following recent surgery.

Rose Lappe –pray that new cancer drug will be effective

Doug Tatom- as he recovers from stroke and is having problems with extremely low blood pressure

Bev Tatom for relief of pain.

Bob Morisey’s son Scott is still in the hospital after suffering sudden muscular weakness. Bob and his family appreciate the prayers.

Retreat at Lake Chatuge
31 CUC members attended the CUC retreat this past week. Three others sadly weren’t able to come at the last minute. The retreat committee included Mike and Garlinn Story , Annette and Doug Davis, Carol and Allen Kline, and Bill and Dee Scott. The weather was perfect with sunny days in the 60s and views of beautiful fall colors and lovely Lake Chatuge and the North Georgia mountains. The food and help from the resort staff was excellent. Marion Brown led the retreat discussing Acts 2: 42-47. We focused on the difficulty to create community, but the importance of community and what that means to us Christians. Marion discussed the value of humor in creating community and helped us to see how we might find laughter in a hurting world. She listened carefully to the input from CUCers on how our church is viewed by those who visit as guests and those who minimally participate in the activities of the church and what we would hope we might do to be a better, closer, more supportive community. She helped us create our own psalm of orientation, disorientation and new orientation. We enjoyed each other’s company with games, discussions and breaking bread together. Many of us truly enjoyed and are grateful for the community we created in those 3 days. The love between us was evident.

CUC Christmas Party

The deadline for signing up and paying for the CUC Christmas Party is fast approaching! The firm deadline is Sunday, October 29.

Cost is $72/per person and $144 per couple, which will include music, a buffet with both chicken and beef, entertainment provided by Jeff Coelho, the ultimate MC, and time to socialize with class members.

I’m sure that all of you have the CUC Christmas party on your calendar – December 5th at 5 PM at the Metropolitan Club on Windward Parkway. There are still a number of you who have not paid, and time is running out for me to collect the money. Please, go right now and write your check and put it in your purse or pocket to bring to me on Sunday. ALL the money is due no later than Oct. 29th and it would be much easier for Charlie Mason to have all the funds this Sunday. So, please bring you money OR get it in the mail to me, Patsy Lanham, 124 Middleton Pass, Woodstock, GA 30188. Thank you.
