Graduation Sunday - Sunday, May 25, both services. Congregation: Join us as we celebrate our high school and college graduates! There will be a cake reception between services in the Fellowship Hall (downstairs). Students are encouraged to attend both services. Parents of High School and College Graduates: It's that time of year again. The time when planning for open houses and the anticipation of graduation takes hold. (Were you trying not to think about it yet? Sorry!) In celebration of our graduates, RRCYM likes to do something extra special by creating a booklet that will be placed in each person's church mailbox containing pictures of your graduate, a letter or prayer request from you to your son or daughter, and open house information. Each graduate will be allotted one page. Please take this opportunity to celebrate your graduate with us as a church! Letters must be emailed to Trisha by Sunday, May 11! Please include in the letter your graduate's full name, your names, where they are planning to go to school (or their future plans), what they are planning on majoring in, a message/prayer, and open house information (if open house info is something you want published). Should you have any questions, please contact Trisha ([email protected]).
