Let \(p>5\) be a prime number. The author proves that \[ \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{1}{k^2}\binom{2k}{k}^{-1}\equiv\frac13 \frac{H(1)}{p}\pmod {p^3} \] and that \[ \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{(-1)^k}{k^3}\binom{2k}{k}^{-1}\equiv-\frac25 \frac{H(1)}{p^2}\pmod {p^3}, \] where \(H(1)=\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{1}{k}\).
