The life and times of Community United Church of Christ, Raleigh NC
On April 17, 2014, the CUCC Maundy Thursday service was held jointly with St. Paul's Christian Church in the CUCC sanctuary. The choirs of the two churches joined to form a choir of about 20 people who sang under the direction of CUCC Director of Music Anne Moorman-Smith. Doug Barrick was the organist for the evening, and Amy Jensen played flute in the prelude and hymns.
In June 2012 Carolyn and Cy King were presented with a special award for their service in the cause of peace and justice. The video from that occasion is available in this archive. Following that event, an annual award was established in their names. Carolyn died in the fall of 2012, but Cy was present in February 2014 for presentation of the annual
award for 2014 to Bill Towe, Slater Newman, and Peg and Mac Hulslander. A special song that Cy loves is "Precious Lord, Take My Hand." Julia Robertson, Tim Jensen, and Mike Schafale sang the song for Cy at the Feb. 9, 2014, awards ceremony. And they ended the service with a brief version of "What Does the Lord Require of You?.
On August 26, 2012, John Robertson teamed up with his violin teacher for the past six years, Vicky Montague, to perform the Pachelbel Canon during 10:30 worship. John is continuing to hone his skills in both the classical and bluegrass areas, and he delights the congregation whenever he performs, whether it’s during worship or during a Christmas party. (A video of John playing in 2009 during worship is also available in this archive.)
