VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

 

Beginning April 1 volunteers will be needed to clean our church and cut the grass.  There are three good reasons to consider the use of volunteers for the church maintenance plan.  They are:

1. Volunteering provides a sense of belonging.

2. Volunteering fosters a sense of ownership.

3. Volunteering develops a sense of stewardship. 

  

In the coming days RLC's Property Team will asking church members to volunteer for cleaning and lawn maintenance.  Please sign up at the display in the Narthex.  If you have questions or want to volunteer please contact:

Tom Bannon at 540-786-2882 or

Mark Caspersen at 540-972-5246.

Help us Catch up after our "Snowfall Shortfall"
 
The heavy snows this winter forced us to cancel worship 3 times!  That meant a significant financial loss for our congregation.  We encourage all to help us make up for this "Snowfall Shortfall" by giving three weeks worth of your normal offerings before Easter.  A special "Snowfall Shortfall" envelope will be provided for your use at worship on March 21st.  Where can we get 3 additional weeks worth of offering to give?  How about your 2009 state and federal income tax refunds?  Not getting a refund?  You can fix that problem next year by giving more to your church in 2010!
 
Let us know how you plan to participate this coming year.  Download the
Walk with Jesus package, print out your Witness and Service forms and your Estimate of Giving cards, and place them in the offering at worship.  Our Commitment Sunday will be March 21st, at which time all will be invited to bring their commitments to the altar, but please feel free to make your commitments at any time before that.  Use the gift of Lent to reflect on your life, and to pray for the courage and discipline to walk more meaningfully with Jesus this coming year! 
 
Want to take something on?  How about setting up a recurring electronic funds transfer as part of your giving?  You can do it all by yourself on-line, then see Donna Roberts our Contributions Secretary to confirm that it's all working as you like, and sign the authorization form for her records.  Just click on the "Create Profile" button on the webpage and you can then manage it yourself!
 
Additional details on financial giving are available on-line at:

Grace, Mercy, and Peace in our Lord and Savior Jesus, who for us humbled himself unto death...even to death on a cross.

"Here is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by love, when a man applies himself with joy and love to the works of that freest servitude in which he serves others voluntarily and for nought, himself abundantly satisfied in the fullness and riches of his own faith."
