***LAST WEEK FOR RUMC News and Announcements

This is the last week that weekly announcements will be sent to the RUMC google group.  The group will still receive announcements for anything that pertains ONLY to the RUMC congregation, but regular weekly and other announcements will be sent out ONLY through the Wednesday Word.  Many of you are already receiving this – if you are not, PLEASE email off...@resurrectionumc.org to be added to the list.  We want everyone to continue receiving communication about ministry opportunities at RUMC/Calvary!

IMPORTANT – You must request to be added –we will not automatically add email addresses, even if you currently receive the weekly announcement email on Thursday.

 

 

***BEGINNING THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 2 --SUMMER CHOIR SCHEDULE

As has been our custom at Calvary, the choir will begin a summer break from 9:30 rehearsals the first Sunday of June.  Instead, we will gather at 10:30 on Sunday mornings in the choir loft to review something from our repertoire to sing that Sunday during worship.

 

 

New Bible Study Time and Days

The Bible study groups at Calvary and RUMC are combining!  We are looking forward to meeting together.  The combined groups will meet on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 10:00 am until noon and will meet in Room 104.  The first meeting of the combined group will be Wednesday, June 5.  Please join the group, and feel free to invite friends to come as well.

 

Freedom House Picnic

Sunday, June 9 at 4:30p.m. we will have a picnic with the women of the Salem Street House (part of the Freedom House rehab network)  This event is planned by the Resurrection Serve and Calvary Social Justice groups.  If you would like to find out how you can get involved, see or contact Susan Cafferty (susanhars...@yahoo.com) All of the current residents are new since our last social event there, so this is a great opportunity to get to know and support them in their journeys.

 

Transportation Team Forming

As we move forward in our relationship with the Salem Street Women's Rehab House, we are forming a transportation team to pick up anyone on Sunday morning who would like to come to worship.  If you could be available one Sunday a month or as a substitute for regular volunteers, let Susan Cafferty know (susanhars...@yahoo.com).
