Circuit Rider – August 2024
Our Circuit Rider is our way of sharing all of the news and events that are going on in our church community!
Koinonia: Faith & Fellowship
The Discipleship Committee, which is best known for facilitating the Advent & Lenten studies and Disciple studies, has been hard at work developing a new ministry that will provide ongoing faith development opportunities. Although plans are still very much in the infancy stage, the excitement for this new ministry is such that the committee wanted to give YOU, the congregation, a sneak preview of the plan.
August is National Make-A-Will Month
Did you know that August is “National Make-aWill Month”? It is the perfect time to be reminded of the importance of creating or updating your last will and testament (will).

Thanks to all the Backyard Missions volunteers for a very productive day!
Youth Ministries
The 2024 Youth Mission team cleared out the field next to Nottingham UMC in early July. The field will be used by kids throughout the community to play a wide variety of games, and the field will also be used by the church for community events in the future. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support!

RRUMC, you are my family. Thank you for carrying me for the last 13 years. I hope we have many more years together as we love each other into our mission: “It’s all about the story. We exist to help people meet Jesus Christ in the midst of their story.” Thank you for being such a blessing in my story. I love you, church.
Children's Ministries- Vacation Bible School
VBS 2024 has ended, but the hearts that have been changed through the week are just beginning their journey. This year at SCUBA, we learned how to have a friendship with God. Each day was filled with all kinds of adventures.

THANK YOU to Community West Foundation’s Schindler Assistance Fund for awarding a grant of $2,500 to our Twice Blessed Free Store Ministry, directed to the purchase of socks and undergarments to be distributed to our neighbors in need.
Reflections By Rev. Dan Bogre
Jesus calls us to worship God and God alone. In this text, he doesn’t say how or what is exactly the “right” way to worship. Jesus just tells us to worship God. There is nothing more we can do to show God how much we love Him than to worship Him.
Endowment Ministries
Lisa P. Sierk serves as the Director of Endowment Ministries and guides Rocky RiverUnited Methodist Church in philanthropic activities.

General Conference Report
“It’s all about the story. We exist to help people meet Jesus Christ in the midst of their story.” That is our focus for RRUMC. That is what will always unite us as a congregation no matter where people stand on any given issue. - Rev. Daniel F. Bogre
Spring Cleaning our Spiritual Hearts
Spring is a time to start fresh - to wash windows, vacuum the furniture and purge your closet. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. - Psalm 51:10
Youth Ministries
Make sure you are connected with the Youth Ministry to get the latest on summer activities and projects.
Reflections By Rev. Dan Bogre
Have you taken in spring in Cleveland? These are just a tiny sample of the pings that God is sending you every day. You are already experiencing them. I am asking you to hear and see them as God directly sending his transmission to you. How will you respond?

We are excited to try something a little different this year! We want to supply students in grades K-12 with ALL of the school supplies they need according to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District supply list. Plus, we will supply a backpack for each student.
