The Office Bulletin Board:
Prayer Tree. Please use the back of the Connect Card to add yourself or others to RUMC's prayer tree list. You can also add a Prayer Tree name by calling Lucille Robinson (677-3135) or Lisa Prause (671-2297), or by filling out and submitting a Prayer Tree request from the Forms page on this website.
Altar Flowers. Honor a loved one or special occasion by dedicating flowers for a Sunday service! Each arrangement is $25, and the flowers can be taken home after Sunday services. In addition, there will be a message in the weekly bulletin announcing all dedications. Contact the church office at 677-5995, or sign up on one of the flower charts located in Crichton Hall and the Sanctuary.
Church Business Cards. Business cards are available from the Church Office. These contain the name, address, phone number and website address of the church. They make a great outreach tool for our Riverview-area neighbors who are without a church home. Please pick up some business cards and distribute them liberally. A small donation for each set you take will help defray the cost of printing new cards.
Ministry in Prayer. Help pray for the Youth of the Church by meeting for prayer in the Youth Building Sunday Nights from 6-6:15 PM. Everyone is welcome.
The Gleaners Sunday School Class
The Gleaners Sunday School Class meets in the Church library every Sunday at 9:30 AM. It is led by Dr. Earl Lennard, and it is always a source for inspiration, learning, and fellowship.
Did you know that the Gleaners class donates a food basket thru SHARE to a needy family every month? The Gleaners have given special baskets for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and it is a supporter of the Good Samaritan Ministry in Southern Hillsborough County. Eight Gleaners class members regularly work at Restore, and other class members provide fill-in RESTORE duty when asked. Seven class members work with SHARE, and Gleaners are also responsible for folding the weekly bulletin and the monthly newsletter.
Calling All Readers!
Connie Mosley, Milly Frye and friends are starting up a book club. Their first book will be "The Color of Water" by James McBride. These are available on amazon.com used for $2 and up for paperback.
The plan is to get together weekly and discuss the book and also socialize a bit. They are trying to decide a good time and place to meet. Milly's Northern church gets together on Saturday mornings at 9 AM. What do you think? Does anyone have a suggested place? DaSilva’s has recently closed but there is the Starbucks at Winthrop Center, or Dunkin Donut on U. S. 301? Contact Connie Mosley at 766-7104 or email her at mosleycs@gmail.com with suggestions or if you want her to order you a book. The first meeting is tentatively planned for Dec. 6th.
