Holy Week Worship

April 2 @ 6:30 pm- Maundy Thursday with Holy Communion

April 3 @ 6:30pm- Good Friday Service

We often go from the celebration of Palm Sunday to the Celebration of the resurrection and miss the in between. This year, don’t miss the passion of Jesus’ love for us.

Upcoming Sermon Series

At Easter, we celebrate the good news—Christ is risen. But then comes the question we don’t always talk about: now what?

That’s not just our question—it was the disciples’ question too. They had seen the empty tomb. They had heard the news. But they were still afraid, still uncertain, still trying to figure out what came next.

Over the next seven weeks, we’re going to walk with them through those moments—through their questions, their doubts, their encounters with the risen Jesus, and ultimately the moment when everything changes. Because their story is our story. We believe in the resurrection… but we’re still learning what it means to live it.

Lenten Offering

Thank you for your generosity! We collected over $500 for Project 216. That will provide over 1,400 meals for those in need! I hope you will all mark your calendars for November 7 and join us as we pack those meals!

Ways you can serve…

Mission is not just about giving money. It is about being the hands and feet of Jesus. There are countless ways we can do that. It can be serving a meal, caring for the earth, or building relationships…

Summer Soccer Meals

The Mission Board is excited to announce that once again Robinson Chapel UMC will provide meals to the kids playing Soccer and T-Ball in the church field.  This year we are expanding our outreach to two nights a week. 

From June 2nd through July 22nd we will provide Hotdogs, Chips and Water on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to the kids and their families.   If you would like to assist in this mission effort, please watch for the signup sheet in the hospitality room, or contact Cheryl Andrew or Pastor Peggy.  You will be asked to serve no more than 4 nights during the summer.

We look forward to sharing our love with the families of our community.


Trail Clean-up

The Great American Clean Up is set for May 2 at 9:00am. All are welcome to join us as we help to care for God’s creation by picking up trash along the roadway near Parkview Hospital. If you would like to have a t-shirt and gloves provided by the Great American Clean Up organization, please contact Sue Rick by April 5th.

Logo Wear is on its way!

We’re excited to share some fun news—our logo wear is on its way! Soon, you’ll have the chance to show your connection and pride in a visible, meaningful way. Whether it’s a cozy sweatshirt, a classic t-shirt, or another favorite item, these pieces are more than just clothing—they’re a way to represent RCUMC, and to spark conversation wherever you go.

Logo wear helps us carry a bit of our shared identity into everyday life. It can open doors to connection, invite questions, and even create moments of encouragement with others in the community. It’s a simple but powerful reminder that what we share together extends far beyond any one place or time.

Keep an eye out for more details coming soon, including how to order and what options will be available. We can’t wait to see our community represented in this new way!

Looking ahead…
