Canned fruit and vegetables, peanut butter, canned tuna/chicken, boxed mac-n-cheese and pasta, spaghetti sauce, cereal, and other staples are most welcome.

Christmas Food Basket Deadline Extended

We are able to take names for food baskets through Dec 17. Please contact the office if you know of anyone who would need/benefit from a food basket.

End of Year Giving

Just a reminder that any giving you wish to have credited to this year must be received by the church before the end of the day on Dec 31 (unless mailed and postmarked by Dec 31.)

Local Nonprofits

Contact: Church Office

Many of us are looking to direct some end-of-year giving to local nonprofits. In the coming Sundays we are providing a list (see right) of organizations our members and attendees are actively serving in for that purpose. Please contact the office to participate.

Mailboxes & Attendance Cards

We have a lot of new people at RCC. We updated the mailboxes recently and updated attendance cards this week. If you don’t have a mailbox or are missing attendance cards, please fill out a guest registration form (available at the Welcome Center) and drop it in the offering plate.
