Welcome!

Advent Devotional Book Discussion

We can all use an intentional time to prepare our hearts and minds for the birth of Jesus during the Advent season. Make your Advent meaningful as we share our thoughts on “Expecting Emmanuel: Eight Women Who Shared the Way,” by Joanna Harader. We will seek an experience of a holy Advent and Christmas season together. Cordelia Strandskov will facilitate our conversations over a four Sunday period. All are welcome-and please feel free to attend as many weeks as you are able.

Plan to join us on these dates: Nov. 26, and Dec. 3, 10, 17 following coffee hour, in the Heritage Hall. Snacks will be provided. The church has purchased some copies of the book. The cost is $10 with money/check to RPUCC and please note that the money is for the Advent book.

Service Opportunity Fair Nov. 19!

Many of the volunteer service opportunities in which RPUCC members participated were suspended during Covid. Now they are up and running, and in great need of volunteers. This is a fun opportunity to get to know other members in a small RPUCC service group and to help others!  Members representing various community ministries will be available after church on Nov. 19, Stewardship Sunday.  Check out Crisis Nursery, Prism/Northpoint, Hope4Kids, Mobility Worldwide and more. Grab a piece of pie and sign up!

Pilgrim Guild

Interested in joining us for visiting and desert? Pilgrim Guild will be on Nov. 14 at noon. Lola Mae Moser will be hosting, and we would love to see you here!

Winter Community Art Show

A Minnesota winter is approaching and we would like to have an art/craft show in the midst of it - perhaps March. Be thinking of what you enjoy creating that you could share with all of us. It’s not a competition - it’s a creative way of getting to know one another and possibly finding shared interests. If you’d like to help plan this or have questions, please contact Char Merz at finance@rpucc.org or 612-845-0294 or me at calledtocreate@aol.com or 612-281-6515

Loose Change Offering

The Loose Change offerings for November will support Protect Minnesota (www.protectmn.org). This is an independent, statewide gun violence prevention organization which envisions a state in which the systemic inequities that cause gun violence are eliminated, ending prominent manifestations of gun violence. These include homicide, suicide, community gun violence and police gun violence.

Sign up for Coffee Hour

We need your help! We love to build community, and one of the ways we do so is by having coffee hour. Please sign up to help make coffee, provide treats, and assist with set up and clean up. For more information, contact Kathy Jo at kjogaus@msn.com.
