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.

I am so thankful to each of you who helped me celebrate 30 years in ministry. I thank God for you and this church, where I’ve been blessed to serve for 15 years as senior pastor.

I am celebrating that this is the church God has called us to be, and the church we are in so many different ways.

In the last three weeks, I have heard heartfelt testimonies from people of our church blessed by our “Backyard Missions” team, seen the pictures, felt the love, joy, and appreciation of a church for these amazing men.

I invite all of you to please attend all or most of our 6 car cruises over the summer to be a smiling, welcoming face to people who may not have any idea how much Jesus loves them.

One of the many things that makes me so proud, blessed, and privileged to be able to serve RRUMC is your willingness to attempt great things for a great God.

Easter is now just a few weeks away. I am hoping that you have been attending or streaming all of our Lenten services thus far.
