Calling All Children, Youth and Adults!!!
It’s the 2018-2019 Christian Formation Program! The what?! The Christian Formation
Program — an array of opportunities
to learn, ask, share, stretch, grow and
do! Who’s it for? Everybody —
including you. Yes, you!
Beginning September 16!
For Our Little Ones:
Their very own class, with age-
appropriate material, and wonderful
volunteer teachers! For ages 3-6. Be
sure to register via email with names
and ages.
For Elementary Age: It’s The Great Church Scavenger Hunt!
Each week the class will go in search
of another important aspect of Con-
gregational life! They will have the
opportunity to “connect the dots”
between what we do in worship,
Christian Ed, music programs, ser-
vice, and even our outdoor areas in a
fun and engaging way.
For Middle Schoolers: Welcome to The Neighborhood Youth Project! You will have your very own group
(with some activities shared with the
older group as well), expanded to
include youth from First Christian
Church on W. Market St. (our cousin
denomination). 1st and 3rd Sunday
evenings from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. 1st
Sunday of the month will be at First
Christian, 3rd Sunday of the month
at Congregational.
For High Schoolers: Welcome to your expanded high school group as part of The Neighborhood Youth
Project! See previous paragraph for
meeting schedule and place.
We are excited about this new
opportunity to join with our friends
at First Christian! Rev. Melissa
Guthrie-Loy, a current staff member
at First Christian, will be coordinat-
ing the youth groups with help from
volunteers from both congregations.
Youth groups will meet the 1st and
3rd Sunday evenings (except Sep-
tember, which will be 3rd and 5th).
Supper is potluck on the 1st, at First
Christian, and we will provide sup-
per on the 3rd Sundays at Congrega-
tional.
Parents:
Please email Julie with the names
and ages of children and youth who
will be participating as soon as
possible. Thank you!
For Adults:
Sunday morning classes include the
Jordan/Wisseman Class, taught by
Sherrill Hall and Nancy Glenz,
which uses the Adult Bible Study
curriculum and will begin again on
September 2.
Our second adult group, the
Smith Class, is an adult Bible study
that follows the lectionary. They
discuss each Sunday’s readings with
a focus on both the text’s historical
background and what the passages
can mean to us in our lives today.
Per Clif Karnes, the Smith Class
teacher, “we don’t have all the
answers, but we always learn from
each other.” Visitors are welcome
in both adult classes!

Remember all
those connect-
the-dots puzzles
we did when we
were kids? They
were omnipresent
in doctors’ offices
and schools and homes where we
took our pencils and drew from one
dot to the next to reveal a “hidden”
picture of a dinosaur or a flower. I
know they are still around, and I
understand there are online versions
for kids and adults now.
Much of what we do as a
church can be described as a giant,
ongoing connect-the-dots project.
Oscar will hopefully leave sanctuary
soon and be reunited with his family
at home, songs of praise resound in
worship, people in need of food re-
ceive Mobile Meals and backpacks,
adults and children meet Sunday
morning and at other times to learn
and ask and grow in faith, an offer-
ing is taken, bread is broken and
shared as are prayer concerns and
celebrations, a refugee family finds
a new home. These dots connect,
even when we don’t always see the
connections.
One of the best ways we make
those connections is through our
education program.
Over the years I’ve heard vari-
ations of the following vital ques-
tions many times:
“How can I raise my child to
be a responsible, loving, coura-
geous, compassionate adult? “My
teenager seems to be questioning
everything — even the existence of
God. How can I be supportive but
also encourage faith?” “What does
our faith have to say about current
issues?” “I haven’t been part of a
church in many years. I don’t know
what I believe any more. Is there a
book or class or group that would
help me?” “How can we make a
difference in the world?” “Can you
teach me to pray?”
The way we think about and
talk about God, the Scripture pas-
sages that challenge and nurture us,
the time we spend worshiping to-
gether and serving together — all of
these shape us from early childhood
on. We have seen what happens
when people are shaped by fear and
ignorance, we are also witnesses to
what happens when people are
shaped by grace: Jesus’ own words
in such passages as Luke 4:18 and
Matthew 25 come to life. Those in
need receive good news, the captive
are set free, the hurting find healing
and hope, the hungry are fed, the
outcast is welcomed home.
Friends, the dots connect.
Christian Education/Formation
matters, now more than ever. I
invite you to recommit to this holy
work of “raising up children (and
adults!) in the path they should go.”
Please read the info in this
newsletter carefully, and whether or
not you and your family have ever
participated, consider joining with
us this new season.
― Julie
It’s the 2018-2019
Christian Formation Program!
Continued from Page 1.
Throughout the year, we also offer a
variety of small groups usually
meeting for 5-7 weeks and focusing
on a particular book or topic, as well
as retreats and other opportunities.
We hope you will prayerfully
consider joining us in connecting
the dots and growing in faith!

Connecting the Dots!

Upcoming Events
American Red Cross Blood Drive: September 27 Blood is the precious gift that is es-
sential for patient care of people
with life-threatening illnesses, blood
disorders and with injuries from
trauma. Sharing a pint of blood is
one way to “Love one another.” The
CUCC Blood Drive is Thursday,
September 25, 2018, in the Fellow-
ship Hall. Appointments are availa-
ble from 3:00 to 7:00 pm. Sign up
early to reserve your convenient
time. With CUCC members, friends
and neighbors, we expect to exceed
our goal of 25 pints.
How do I schedule my donation?
There are two ways. (1) A blood
drive coordinator will be available
after Sunday services on September
9, 16 and 23 in the Fellowship Hall.
(2) Visit www.americanredcross.
org and search Find a Blood Drive
by entering Congregational UCC in
the search bar. You will need to
create a New Donor Registration.
Then, you can enter or change an
appointment online.
New! Save up to 15 minutes on
site by accessing RapidPass online

plete the pre-reading and answer
health history questions. Print your

What can I do if I can’t donate
now? For various reasons, many are
not eligible to donate. You can still
help save lives. Take the hand of
friends or neighbors and drive them
to the Blood Drive. Support them in
their donation. Participate in regis-
tration at the drive. Make some
sweet and salty snacks for donors or

students over 17 years old to start a
lifelong commitment to donating.

Attention Young Adults!
Our next young adult gathering is
on Wednesday, September 12th, at
Brixx Pizza, 1424 Westover Ter-
race. We will meet at 7:00 pm.
Please RSVP to Hillary Irusta (336-
687-4512, [email protected]).
CUCC Labyrinth Walk
All are welcome to an Equinox
Labyrinth Walk on Sunday, Sep-
tember 23 following the morning
service. Grab some coffee and
snacks, then come to the Chapel for
a brief meditation on this seasonal
change and its spiritual meaning.
Following that, an introduction to
the labyrinth will be offered for
those who choose, while others can
go directly to the labyrinth for a
guided walk.
Women’s Fellowship
Fall Salad Supper
Women of the congregation, you are
invited to the annual Fall Salad
Supper on Monday, September 17th, at 6:00 pm in the Fellowship
Hall. We will be remembering Dorothy Ballinger, Rebecca Borum,
Dorothy Darnell, Fran Ditto, Florence Hilliard, Etta Mullikin,
Clara Scarborough, and Frank Wheeler. We will also hold our an-
nual business meeting. Come and enjoy the food and the fellowship!
All Church Retreat
Blowing Rock Conference Center October 5-7
We will “begin” Friday evening at 8:00 pm, mindful that some people
will arrive later that evening. And that’s okay – we’ll help you catch
up, beginning Saturday morning with breakfast, sessions during the
morning and evening, with time off Saturday afternoon for hiking,
snowball fights, naps, Art in the Park in Blowing Rock, and fudge
shopping (to name but a few of the popular things to do). The retreat
will end Sunday before noon.
This year our theme is “Strength for the Journey.” We will
look at where each of us draw our strength, how we can help one an-
other carry on when the days are long and the going gets tough, and
how we can look to God when we feel we don’t have enough. It will
be inspirational and fun and is a wonderful way to get to know peo-
ple in the church. Registration forms are located
outside the office. First-time attend-ers receive a great discount! If you
have questions, speak with Paul Davis or Teresa Earles.

News and Notes
Sanctuary Program, Change for Change & More We have great news to share with
you: Oscar’s removal order has been dismissed! Technically, the
immigration judge reopened Oscar’s case, and cancelled the deportation
order.
However, Oscar’s lawyer ad-vised him to remain in Sanctuary a
few more days, so the lawyer can get firm confirmation from ICE that
Oscar is free to leave. So please keep this quiet for now — no public
announcements or media alerts yet!! We don’t yet fully understand
where this leaves things legally for Oscar, but we do know this does not
mean his case has been entirely re-solved. We await word from the
lawyer to make sure he and Oscar fully understand Oscar’s next steps.
Again, we ask that you keep this info quiet for now. Please do not
share this great news outside of the church just yet.
When we know more, we will
share it with you, and we feel cer-tain it will include plans for a big
press conference and a release party. In the meantime, keep praying for
Oscar and all the people in Sanctu-ary.
Small Change,
Big Difference
Change for Change in September
will help support one of the refugee families (with whom our congrega-
tion is partnering) that is being evicted from the recently con-
demned Summit Apartments (see the following article for more info).
Thank you for your continued generosity!
—Your Board of Christian Service
Help for Evicted
Refugee Family
When the apartment complex at
Cone and Summit was recently
condemned, over 30 families
learned they had only a few weeks
to find new, affordable housing.
Local agencies are working
with the families to do this. CUCC
is one of several faith communities
responding to the request to assist a
family with their move, with
transport and other practical help.
We are working with a couple from
the Congo and their three children.
We are grateful to all for the
quick response and offers of help!
We will keep everyone posted as we
learn more about when and where
their move will take place, and ex-
actly what is needed. Thank you!!
Food for Backpack Program
Our Cone Elementary Backpack
Program is in regular need of re-
stocking. Items welcomed: breakfast
bars, non-sugar-coated cereal,
peanut butter, jelly, canned fruit,
canned vegetables, canned beans,
canned meat/tuna, soup or sauce/
gravy, mac & cheese or pasta/rice,
and snack items. NO glass contain-
ers or extra-large sized/ heavy
items. Please place your donations
in the multipurpose stands at each
entrance. Thank you!
Sermon Topics
Thank you for your responses to our
request for sermon topics! We will
continue these September 9, 16, 23
and 30 with the topics of “Con-
servative/Liberal and Christian?
Going Beyond Labels;” “Self-doubt,
Humility, and Spiritual Integrity,”
“So Where Does Evil Come From?”
and “Forgiveness.” The actual ser-
mon titles may change, but this
gives an idea of what the focus will
be. And again, if you have addi-
tional suggestions, pass them along!
Keep in Your Prayers

of the individuals on our
Prayer List,

More News and Notes
A Gift to Remember and More
A few days ago, Ann Buffington
came to the office. Any visit with
Ann is fun — the hug, the “Hi
Honey,” the mischievous smile.
“Here Sweetie, I have something for
you and Julie.” It was a small
envelope, not sealed. “This is
what’s left from Fran’s estate. It’s
for the church. You do whatever
you want with it.” I suggested we
go for ice cream. Ann smiled and
said, “That will be a lot of ice
cream.” “Love ya,” she said as she
walked out the door. “Love you
too.”
The check was expected, the
amount is generous, and the gift is
heartfelt. Fran loved our church and
she chose to remember it, to honor
it, in her will, and we are grateful.
CUCC was one of the most
important parts of her life and gave
her great joy and comfort.
Our church’s invested funds
consist of a number of gifts, left to
us by people who loved the church.
This year we plan to draw about
14% of our budget from earnings
from various funds. Those numbers
are important, and we are greatly
blessed. More than anything, we are
grateful for the love and generosity
of people like Fran, who have
remembered our congregation in
their will/estates.
We hope you will consider
making a charitable remainder gift
to the church, to help insure that
CUCC will welcome new people
with whom we will fall in love.
People like Fran. — Paul
Notes of Gratitude
Dear Friends,
On the day after my knee sur-
gery, Julie brought me a beautifully
knitted shawl from the “Knit Us
Together-Knitting Group.” I found
myself during the ensuing days of
recovery “wrapped” in God’s love
through so many of you!
Thank you for all your encour-
aging words, prayers, cards, emails,
texts, phone calls, and food during
my recovery. And many thanks to
those who came by to help during
the week John Robert was away.
My recuperation is going well,
and I expect to be back with you in
church very soon.
With my love,
Lynn Wright-Kernodle
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your gift in sup-
port of the ministry of theological
education at Lancaster Seminary.
Your gift provides support for
Lancaster Seminary’s mission “to
educate and nurture leaders to join
God’s redemptive and liberating
work so that all creation may flour-
ish.” We seek to bring a gifted and
dedicated faculty, committed and
called students, and support
churches, organizations, and friends
into a vibrant community of faith.
The support you provide with
your prayers and your gifts opens
the doors for our students’ educa-
tion, opens their minds to learning,
and opens their hearts to serving.
In Christ,
The Rev. Dr. Carolyne Call
Exec. Dir. of Development
and Communications

Trinity AME Zion Church 631 E. Florida Street, Greensboro
Women from more than twenty
Greensboro congregations will
gather for the annual Human Rights
Day Celebration of Greensboro’s
Church Women United. All are in-
vited to attend!
Since its founding more than
70 years ago, this ecumenical or-
ganization has always promoted
making basic human rights available
to all persons – regardless of age,
gender, race, nationality or religion.
CWU’s national committee has cho-
sen as this year’s theme: “Reach for
Wholeness in Solidarity with God’s
Creation.”
After a time for registration
and light refreshments, the meeting
will begin at 10:30 am. The speaker
will be Portia Shipman who will
share information about her work
with the Sherri Denise Jackson
Foundation for the Prevention of
Domestic Violence. Come! Join
women from other churches as we
look for ways we can work together
to promote a more just and caring
society.
At this first meeting of the pro-
gram year, the Ecumenical Action
Committee has requested that those
attending bring school supplies
which will be distributed to high-
need elementary schools.
If you have questions or would
like to share transportation, call
Eileen Stirling, 336-852-0170, be-
tween 8:00 and 9:30, morning or

The Barnabas Network
Warehouse Furniture Sale
Saturday, Sept. 8, 9:00 am-3:00 pm Sunday, Sept. 9, Noon-3:00 pm
Executive Square Shopping Center 2710 N. Church Street, Greensboro
The sale will feature nine tractor
trailers of new and like-new furni-
ture donated by local retailers and
manufacturers. The Barnabas Net-
work is a non-profit furniture bank
that provides basic home furnish-
ings at no cost to qualified families
and individuals who are transition-
ing out of homelessness, recovering
from a major setback, fleeing do-
mestic violence, or living with in-
comes that cannot cover basic
needs. “Our new focus on fundrais-
ing is to hold several large ware-
house sales throughout the year ra-
ther than maintaining a store at our
location,” Sides said. “These sales
help underwrite our operation.”
Last year, The Barnabas Net-
work served 2,099 individuals in
770 households, giving away more
than 8,000 pieces of furniture, in-
cluding 1,067 beds with 443 going
to school-aged children.
Getting Acquainted with the
Radical Jesus
Mondays, 6:45-8:00 pm September 10-November 12
Sedgefield Presbyterian Church 4216 Wayne Road, Greensboro
Led by the Rev. Frank Dew
So often we make Jesus into such a
nice guy that we can't imagine how
he would end up crucified. The
Jesus of the Bible turned the world
upside down and demonstrated in
his life what “thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven” looks like. Come join us
and learn what it means to follow
this radical Jesus.
Shoes For All
The overall goal is simple, if you
don’t want to walk in your shoes,
please give them to someone who
does. Don’t just throw them away,
donate to someone who truly needs
them. Make a difference.
First Lutheran Church is sup-
porting the non-profit “Shoes For
All” with their annual shoe collec-
tion in September and October.
Please bring new and gently used
shoes to Judy Page in the CUCC
church office she will transport
them to First Lutheran.
Ask friends and co-workers to
check their closets, too. Sneakers,
shoes and boots gladly accepted.

CUCC Business
Memorial Garden Bricks
A reminder that members of CUCC
have the option to purchase en-
graved bricks to be placed in our
Memorial Garden, and, if desired, to
make arrangements for interment or
spreading of ashes there as well.
Forms are available on the hutch
outside the church office. See Paul
if you have questions.
One question we’ve already
faced: Can you purchase a brick for
someone who is still alive? (Say
your spouse has died and you’d like
your brick next to their brick.) The
answer is YES! We can reserve a
spot for a brick you pay for today.
We can also order and store a brick
for future use. If you wish to have a
year engraved on that brick, we will
hold the order until the date is cer-
tain.
