LIFE@RC
March is Food Shelf Month
RC is partnering with Keystone Community Services to provide groceries/personal care
items for people in need. Grocery bags for your donations are available in the lobby;
a list of suggested items is included with each bag. RC’s goal is 100 bags! All donations
will be matched by Second Harvest. Thank you for your generosity.
Calling All Orchestra Players!
We would love for you to help lead worship at both services Easter Sunday, March 27.
Most of the practice will be on your own, but we’ll get together to run through songs
with Brian on Saturday, March 26. Charts are available upon request.
SING ALLELUIA!
We invite all who love to sing to swell the ranks of our Easter Choir this March 27th.
You are invited to two prior rehearsals, Wednesdays, March 16 & 23, 6:30-8pm. Please let
a choir member or the director, Jenny Currie (651.636.9524) know if you will join us so we
can prepare music for you.
Easter Memorials
If you would like to remember/honor a loved one by giving a donation toward flowers
for Easter Sunday, you may do so by filling out a memorial form available on the LIFE@RC
board in the lobby; place in the offering, mail to the church office, text “giverc” to
77977, or website online giving, select restricted receipt fund - flowers, before March 20.
The flowers donated through Easter Memorials will continue to beautify our sanctuary
after Easter; therefore no flowers will be available for pick up after the Easter services.
Thank you for your contributions for creating a beautiful worship space.
Kids’ Ministry Event for Easter Sunday
We will be having the “Walk with Jesus” event again this year during the Sunday School
hour, open to everyone; donations of flameless candles, Naan bread, grape juice, plastic eggs and wrapped candy needed. We are also looking for people to help during
the event as well as set-up/clean-up. A sign up sheet, and basket for donations is at the
nursery counter. Questions: Heidi, 651.633.5526 x113, or [email protected]
Thriving in Babylon
We know we were made for so much more than ordinary lives, It’s time for us to more
than just survive; We were made to thrive. (Lyrics by Mark Hall.)
After Easter we are diving into a new series, “Thriving in Babylon.” What makes you tick?
When are you truly thriving? For me (Brian), music and biking bring me to life. I’d like to
invite you into curating a display in The Gallery beginning April 3, showcasing things that
make you come to life: artwork, photography, woodworking, quilting, knitting, pottery,
travel . . . whatever the case may be, bring something that represents you by March 31
for our display through May. Questions? Talk to Brian.
