Light Up the Darkness 2023:
​Let's Help those Suffering in the Cold in Yukon this Winter

 As you all know, during the winter there are many families that struggle to pay their utility bills. And, the homeless in Yukon struggle greatly to stay warm during this season. 

We are raising money to help families who are struggling with their utility bills. And, we are helping the homeless, with donations of flashlights, batteries, hand and feet warmers, socks, gloves, hats, blankets and food. Please drop donations off at RLC.

For the latest info, go to our special page, Light Up the Darkness. 

Next Steps Discussion and Lunch, Mar 12, After Church

We had a really productive discussion after church on February 12 as we talked about what direction we should be going as a congregation.  We talked about worship, education, care team, youth, community involvement and more, and had lots of great input.  

Our March meeting will start with the highlights of the last meeting and then take one or more of those ideas and flesh out how we can move toward from idea to reality. Bring some finger food to share for lunch and join us!

If we all help, we can meet our budget, support the church and open up new ways for God to bless our lives. ​
