If God were to take you home today, what would your wife and children hold in their hands tomorrow that would let them know that they were the treasures of your life? “Letters from Dad” is a journey for men to leave a legacy of Faith, Hope and Love through the lost art of letter writing. CUMC is the only church in the greater Memphis area offering this unique program. For more information on “Letters from Dad”, visit its web site at www.lettersfromdad.com.
