Our theme is a reminder, for each one of us that when we choose to be grateful, it is not just a feeling but a direct choice that comes from understanding of what God has done for us, each day. A sense of gratefulness through the little things in our lives that we often overlook.

This Sunday, RRUMC will celebrate Consecration Sunday, a time to reflect on what it truly means to live a life that is holy and devoted to God.

First fruits was a concept God introduced to the Israelites upon their arrival in the Promised Land. The first portion of their harvest would become a sacrifice of thanksgiving and celebration to God for His constant provision and protection.

There is always a direct correlation between who Jesus says he is in the “I am” statements and who we are in response to them.

Jesus tells us that he is vine, and we are the branches. There is a direct connection between us and Jesus.

Dan is preaching. Sarah Roberts and Madison Mae Roberts baptized at 10:00 Sanctuary service.

Paul is preaching. World Communion Sunday. Bible Sunday for 3rd graders and Confirmation youth.

If we get to know their language and use their own words, phrases, and jargon to share the story of Jesus in our lives, we invite them into the story.

No matter how committed we are to sharing our faith, most of our witnessing endeavors take a long time to produce any fruit, if ever.

It is always going to be very difficult to get people to listen to our story if we do not first know theirs.

Regardless of our background, knowledge base, or level of expertise, if we are followers of Christ, we are meant to share our faith.
