RUMC Book Club's Lenten study
For Lent We Are Reading N.T. Wright's Book: The Way of The Lord
N. T. Wright's Book: The Way of the Lord deals with a Christian Pilgrimage Today. Wright explores all the sites that travelers usually visit on a tour of the Holy Land, explaining not only what is to be seen but also the context of faith that makes these sites, and the events associated with them, famous around the world. This is a book to be read with Christian pilgrimage in mind, whether one is traveling to the Holy Land physically or merely in heart and mind.

Sisters-in-Christ Assemble Birthday Kits
Putting the Kits Together
Sisters in Christ assembled birthday cake kits at RUMC June 10. The congregation donated cake mixes, frostings, decorative plates and napkins, candles and balloons. The kits were assembled in disposable aluminum pans with a can of soda. The cakes can be made with a can of soda. The people who visit the food pantries might not be able to get the eggs or oil needed to bake the cakes. This way, they can celebrate a birthday and all these items are in the kit, ready to go!
The Kits Are Ready to Make Birthdays Special
Judy Davis, Phyllis DeGraff, Margo Leden, Judy Schellenberger, Suzanne Boomer, and Vicki Boschma took part. All the items needed to celebrate a birthday are in the kit, ready to go. 27 kits were assembled and will be donated to Old Stone Pantry and Caritas.

Every year we like to show our appreciation and support for our neighbors just across the street, the Rockton Fire Department. Each Fall, Fellowship Baskets are provided for our First Responders with some treats to tide them over while waiting to be called out.
Spring Church grounds-day
Many weeds to pull and winter debris to clean out of the church flower beds.
The kids got to work with the grass under the front tree. Maybe they'll have luck getting it to grow.
Removing the old gravel was hard work for young and old.

Sisters In Christ May Wild flower Walk
Sisters in Christ took a walk in the Pecatonica River Bottoms to view the spring wild flowers.
Due to the early spring they missed the peak but there were still many blue bells throughout to make the woods a sea of blue!
They pause for a group picture with the Pecatonica River in the background.
