NEW MEMBER RECEPTION On Sunday, May 31st, we will be receiving five new members into our congregation: Bill and Maureen Stetler Stacey Tillapaw Trisha Carter Christy Bracken 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. Patti Moock 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!
