(No service at RMC)

Each summer we close our doors for one Sunday and encourage all RMCers to attend another worship service. We'\;re especially encouraged to try a worship experience that will stretch us and maybe get us out of our comfort zone a bit. We have an opportunity to reflect on what we experienced and how we were able to worship in that setting. It also makes us more mindful of what it'\;s like to be a visitor\, with the possibility of applying what we experienced to help welcome people who visit RMC.

World Communion Sunday – celebrated the first Sunday in October – is one of the most venerable of “special Sundays.” The day has taken on new relevancy and depth of meaning in a world where globalization often has undermined peace and justice – and in a time when fear divides the peoples of God'\;s earth. On this day we celebrate our oneness in Christ\, the Prince of Peace\, in the midst of the world we are called to serve – a world ever more in need of peacemaking.
