Our mission is connecting: upward, inward and outward.
We are a group of people who share faith in Christ and a love for God. We strive to care for others by following the example of Jesus. We are welcomed by God, just as we are, and we pray that we welcome others in the same way. Come visit us!

Help Needed Repairing Our Storage Building
We need your help! We are looking for help with rehanging the doors on the red barn and rebuilding the ramp to the barn. A small committee is being formed to take this on. If you can help out with this project, please contact Lori B to Jason Horton. Jason is heading up this project.

Technology Committee Being Formed
The RLC Council has determined that we need to take a more intentional approach to our technology. When you start thinking about it, it's surprising how much we have added over the last few years, as the needs of the church changed. A separate committee will help us manage it as technology continues to evolve.
This new committee will address everything from staff computers and software, record storage and back-up, the phone system, our text/phone/email messaging service, electronic security for the church property, our online church services, our sound system and big screen TVs in the sanctuary, our website, use of Zoom and Facebook and new technologies that we may add in the future.
The group will evaluate contract renewals on existing technology and study new technology the church is considering--making recommendations to the RLC Council.
Some of the goals the group is considering:
-Consider short- and long-term technology needs of the church for the purchase of hardware, software and tech services.
-Integrate current and new technology when possible.
-Prioritize ease of use.
-Ensure staff have resources/training to use our technology effectively.
-Protect the privacy of the personal information we store and the security of church systems.
-Help church staff develop procedures for using technology, as appropriate.
-Bring new ideas to the Council's attention and make recommendations for our annual tech budget.
So, if you have a love for technology and want to share your talents and experience, please contact Council President, Stephen Tharpe. We are looking for members.

New Trees Planted at Church
Two new juniper trees were planted in the futon of the church to replace one that died and one that had not fared well after the ice storm. Garden beds are all cleaned out and ready for spring planting when weather allows. Thank you Katherine for spearheading this project.

A New Option for Sharing Books: with a Focus on Books for Kids
A member of our church built this book sharing box for his Eagle Scout project. Please consider putting some of your own children's books in it to share with our community.
Safety Precautions for In-person Church Services
We are taking several steps to protect everyone who attends our in-person church services:
-We request that everyone wear a mask (extras will be available if you need one).
-All of the hymnals and Bibles have been removed to avoid spreading germs.
-Social distancing will be practiced for everyone's safety. Some pews will be blocked off.
-Due to the spread of Coronavirus when singing, we will not be singing in the church at this time.
-Hand sanitizer will be available in every pew. You are also invited to bring your own.

RLC is going places. We're building a new church. We invite you to add a little extra to your normal giving and designate it for the new church. And please volunteer to help on a committee as we move forward with our vision for the future! Learn more: http://www.rlcok.org/vision-for-the-future.html
