In a world that often seems in need of more light, this generosity shines brightly, inspiring others to join in the symphony of giving. Together, we are fortifying the foundation that allows RRUMC to be a sanctuary of support and spiritual growth for all who seek it. May you feel the warmth of our appreciation and the impact of your kindness in every story of success and every moment of connection fostered through these gifts.

A big shoutout and thank you to these volunteers and their hard work.

On Sunday, September 29, members of the Theo & Belle Moll Society will be available after each of the three services to answer any questions about how and why they decided to join the Theo & Belle Moll Society.

I would like to let the congregation know about a young family that is trying to escape the daily bombing in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and is in need of temporary housing in Cleveland.

Join us following each worship service on Sunday, September 29, to meet some of our Moll Society members and consider joining these faithful friends. And know that I, Rev Dan, or any member of our Endowment Committee would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and learn how you meet Jesus Christ in the midst of your story.

The Discipleship Committee, which is best known for facilitating the Advent & Lenten studies and Disciple studies, has been hard at work developing a new ministry that will provide ongoing faith development opportunities. Although plans are still very much in the infancy stage, the excitement for this new ministry is such that the committee wanted to give YOU, the congregation, a sneak preview of the plan.

Did you know that August is “National Make-aWill Month”? It is the perfect time to be reminded of the importance of creating or updating your last will and testament (will).

Thanks to all the Backyard Missions volunteers for a very productive day!

Lisa P. Sierk serves as the Director of Endowment Ministries and guides Rocky RiverUnited Methodist Church in philanthropic activities.

“It’s all about the story. We exist to help people meet Jesus Christ in the midst of their story.” That is our focus for RRUMC. That is what will always unite us as a congregation no matter where people stand on any given issue. - Rev. Daniel F. Bogre
