SPIRITUAL PRACTICE TEAM (SPT) & SUMMER WORSHIP at RHUC

This is a follow-up article to one from a few weeks ago. Just to summarize, here's what is happening with worship in July and some new information about August.  

July

July 6th - RHUC is invited to attend worship at St. Matthew's United Church at 10:30 a.m.  (333 Crosby Ave., RH) 

July 13 - Jane Ridout, a member of our congregation, will be delivering the message that day 

July 20 - Rev. Linda Butler will be our Guest Minister 

July 27 - Rev. Cathy Dilts will be our Guest Minister

All July services at RHUC will be at 10:30 a.m. 

NOTE: We will be worshipping in another space in the church as the Sanctuary will be undergoing repairs starting sometime this summer.

August 

August 10 - RHUC is invited to attend worship at St. Matthew's United Church at 10:30 a.m. (333 Crosby Ave., RH) 

After much consideration by the Spiritual Practice Team and members of the Board, we have decided to cancel worship services at RHUC for the month of August. We feel there are a number of reasons why it makes sense to do so this year: 

1) The construction dust and equipment could be a safety concern. 

2) This will give our dedicated and hard-working Tech Team some well-deserved time off.

3) This pause in worship services will give people time to visit other churches or places of worship and spend time with family and friends. 

4) This will save the church money as we won't have to bear the cost of Pulpit Supply Ministers for four Sundays.

One bonus is that those who organize Coffee Time on Tuesday mornings have decided to keep it going through the summer! So, if you're around on a Tuesday morning, stop by to visit and chat and stay connected to your church family. The church will remain open during the week.  

I will post another article later in June or early July with a list of places of worship to visit in August including addresses and times of worship services. 

Sunday services will resume at RHUC in September. We are hoping to have a Short-Term Supply Minister in place by then. Please watch for more updates as that search is on-going while the Search Team looks for a full-time, called Minister.
