Daily Devotions for Student Ministry
I hope everyone is staying safe in these unprecedented times. I have been missing every student deeply and can’t wait to see everyone again. In an attempt to stay connected, I am sending out devotions 5 days a week. The devotions should take no longer than 5-10 minutes of your time, but I certainly hope it has a much longer impact. These devotions will be interactive and I would recommend using a journal or typing out a response to the 2 or 3 questions. If you want to receive these devotions email Steven Young at syoung@rrumc.org to subscribe.

High School Mission Trip Change in Plans
Unfortunately, the 2020 High School Mission Trip has been cancelled due to the coronavirus. It is with great sadness that we will not be traveling to Milwaukee, Wisconsin this year. However, alternative plans are in the works for a potential close to home High School Mission Trip later in the summer. The middle school event, Servant Hands and Joyful Spirits, is still tentatively scheduled for August 5-7.
End of Year Youth Party - Sunday, May 17, 6:00-8:00pm
All youth are welcome to celebrate the end of year with food, friends, and fun! What a year it has been! Hopefully we will all get a chance to be together again before summer begins. Drinks and pizza will be provided, students who are attending please bring dessert.
