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.

Yes, it is already Lent. And, as you know, at RRUMC for Advent and Lent, we choose a book to be our guide and foundation on which those seasons find their way into our hearts. This season of Lent is no different.

I know that usually my article looks forward to the month ahead, but this time I am reflecting back on the year 2024, which is now in our rearview mirror.
