SAVE AND DONATE
THOSE LIDS!
Many of the items we receive from our Walmart
distribution program are missing lids, spray tops
and working pumps. PHP food pantry has
requested that our church save lids from
laundry (liquid) soaps, working pumps from
hand soaps and lotions, and lids from bleach
bottles. If these items could be marked with the
name or generic brand, that would be helpful to
us when we are packing items for pick
up. There is a marked box in the donation
area for this collection.
If you left a baking dish or pan in the church
kitchen, please take it home. There are some
baking dishes/pans on the table in the
Fellowship Hall that need claimed. If they are
not claimed within a few weeks, they will be
donated to an organization that can use them.
Thank you to EVERYONE who sent birthday
cards! It was so much fun to find all of that
mail in my box and I had so much fun opening
all of them. I love RUCC!
Gloria Dressler
Thank you to everyone for the prayers, calls,
visits, food, and cards following my recent
fall. My arm is healing as expected. I will be in
a cast for 2 more weeks and then a removable
brace during therapy. You have all been so
kind to me and I appreciate this more than you
will ever know. God bless all of you.

SUMMER WORSHIP SCHEDULE
Sunday, June 7 - Sunday, August 30
Worship at 9:30 AM
Join us for Special Music
and Guest Accompanists
You’re always welcome no matter what you are
wearing. But during the summer months, we
encourage you to dress casually, as you would for
the rest of the day.
June is just around the corner, and the choir and
Music Director will have a summer break. If you, or
someone you know, would be willing to provide
special worship content in the place of the
anthems, etc (poetry, vocal/instrumental music,
liturgical dance) please call the church office at
(330) 832-1891. You may also sign the Music
Calendar located in the Welcome Center with your
name and telephone number. Thank you!
THE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
COMMITTEE IS LOOKING
FOR VOLUNTEERS!
Our regular Sunday School schedule ends May 17th.
During the summer (May 24 through September
6), there will be one sign up for Children’s Church and
another sign-up for Nursery in the Welcome
Center. There are many things available for the
children to do in Children’s Church, including: movies
in the movie room, craft supplies in the patio room
and computers in the Confirmation 1 room. Or, you
are welcome to bring your own activity/idea. If you are
willing to volunteer for Children’s Church or for the
Nursery, please sign the sheet in the Welcome
Center. We welcome any newcomers that have never
helped before. The Christian Education Committee
will endeavor to always get someone to sign-up for the
Nursery, however if no one signs up for Children’s
Church on a particular Sunday, the boys and girls
are to stay upstairs in the Sanctuary with their
parents during worship. The Safe Church Policy will
continue through the summer months.
Thanks so much for your support!
The Christian Education Committee
THANK YOU to everyone who stayed for the
COGs Bake Auction last Sunday! We raised over
$1,200 for future COGs events!
