Grow the Circle Wide:
Capital Campaign will begin
January 2023!
RUC will celebrate the New Year of 2023 with the opening of our Capital Campaign. We believe that our proposed projects will grow and enhance our shared mission and ministry. Our projects will benefit both our members and our neighbors in the surrounding community, truly helping to grow our circle of love wide.
Fall Small Group Series Has Concluded
“The U.S. History You Thought You Knew: An Invitation to a New Perspective” The Fall Small Groups have concluded their gatherings focused on truth and justice. The links to the Ted talks offer an opportunity to visit or revisit the powerful stories they tell. We encourage you to find just an hour and a half to take a look - time well spent.
PRAYER
REQUEST
In August 2021 we began creating paper quilt squares, displaying panels in progress in Kaseman Hall. Now our family quilt, 120 squares strong, is a living memorial to the time of the COVID pandemic in the life of our congregation. It commemorates our losses, our challenges, our resilience and gives thanks to the Holy in the work of our hands.

2022 Christmas Alternative Giving Program
SOLVE YOUR GIFT-GIVING PROBLEMS
AS YOU DONATE TO OVERSEAS MISSIONS
RUC’s annual Alternative Giving program for Christmas and the New Year is a wonderful way to gift friends, coworkers or relatives as you donate to the church’s only overseas mission program. This year’s recipient of donations is NOROC
(New Opportunities for Romanian Orphans and Children), based in the city and county of Tulcea, Romania to which Ukrainian women and children are fleeing. NOROC meets
the needs of these refugees for food, clothing and shelter as well as providing psychological services for those suffering from trauma. For the full info, click HERE!
