It’s All About The Story
At Rocky River United Methodist Church, we exist to help people meet Jesus Christ in the midst of their story.

God continues to move in beautiful ways through our volunteers, our neighbors, and the ministries that bring us all together.
A small Harvest Celebration included gardeners weeding and turning over garden soil. A weed barrier of cardboard was put in place. After the first frost, garlic will be sown in the herb garden for spring harvest.
Oh, how Christmas brings out excitement in children! The school will stay in session for roughly 3 weeks through December and then there is a two-week Christmas break for students, teachers, and staff.
In December, the Youth Ministry’s Crossroads group will meet Sunday nights for faith, fun, and friendship—including a special combined Crossroads/Common Ground night and a big Youth Christmas Party with games, food, and a white elephant gift exchange—before taking a break for Christmas.
On November 16, we celebrated Consecration Sunday as we look into God’s plans for the year 2026. On that day, we took the time as a church to prayerfully consider what God is calling us to give, what God is calling us to consecrate to Him, and his plans for 2026.
Our Circuit Rider is our way of sharing all of the news and events that are going on in our church community!
The Nursery School is gearing up for their annual PJ’s & Popcorn fall singing program. We will be closed Thursday, November 6, and Friday, November 7, as we follow the RRCSD calendar.
Fall is here, and harvesting is underway at the community garden.
Through the generosity of all of our RRUMC friends and family, we continue ministries that help people meet Jesus Christ in the midst of their stories.
