Cheney United Church of Christ

Our Advent lesson this week will be about Jesus, the man. All of the titles we give to Jesus come to us through Paul. Pastor David Krueger-Duncan will discuss the titles that Paul assigned to Jesus and why those titles were given. You are cordially invited to attend this service at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Dec 20. Special music will be provided by soprano Keio Cunningham.

 You are encouraged to come to the Cheney UCC on the evening of Dec. 24, at 7 p.m. for a special Christmas Eve service. What a wonderful way to celebrate the eve of our Savior’s birth.
