Extreme weather is becoming more severe and frequent, and includes heat waves, cold snaps, extreme rain and snow precipitation, long periods of drought and flooding, and high winds. The capacity of ecosystems like forests, barrier beaches, and wetlands to buffer the impacts of extreme weather-related events is being over whelmed. Arctic summer sea ice is receding faster than previously projected and is expected to virtually disappear before mid-century. Extreme heat, sea level rise, and heavy downpours are affecting infrastructure like roads, rail lines, airports, port facilities, energy infrastructure, and military bases.

The RUCC Personnel Committee is actively searching for someone to fill the long-vacant nursery care position that has been on hiatus during the Pandemic.

Scrip/Gift Card Program is still ongoing! – When you purchase gift cards to pay for your day-to-day expenses or provide as gifts, RUCC receives a rebate that helps fund our missions. It’s an easy way to raise some money for RUCC.

In-Person Orders (July 11)  – We will have a table set up outside after worship to take orders for gift cards and answer questions about the scrip/gift card program. Beginning July 18, we will maintain a small stock of Stater Bros, which you can purchase during fellowship on Sundays. But the best way to ensure you have the cards you want is to place your order on July 11!

Physical Gift Card Order by July 12 – Get your orders in at the table after worship on July 11 or through the website at www.shopwithscrip.com or the RaiseRight app before midnight, July 12. Cards ordered will be available for pickup after worship on July 18.

eCards – Remember that you can buy eGift cards, available to you immediately, to use for online or in-person shopping or to send as a gift. Every time you buy, RUCC gets a small rebate. 

Also: please note that each week’s activities will be fully intergenerational. All ages are encouraged to attend!

Registration is now open for this year’s all virtual General Synod. The fee for non-delegate attendees is $100, which will provide access to all plenaries, worship, keynotes, workshops and the virtual exhibit hall. To register, visit https://www.generalsynod.org/
