Welcome

We are always available to speak with visitors exploring the possibility of joining our congregation or those wishing to learn more about the Reformed Church in America. Please contact our pastors, Rev. Scott D. Brown revscottbrown@verizon.net, Rev. Chris Vande Bunte cvandebunte@verizon.net, or our Congregational Care Coordinator, Dianne O'Hara cnrc-care@verizon.net, to schedule your attendance at an upcoming information session or just to have an informal conversation. We hope you continue to explore our website as it may answer many of the questions you may have about our church.

Our Sunday Worship schedule for May 2012 is below. We look forward to welcoming you to our church. We worship on Sundays at 9:15 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

Sunday, May 6th: Fifth Sunday of Easter. We continue our sermon series on “life’s missing ingredients.” As we worship this morning at 9:15 and 11:00 a.m. and celebrate together the Lord’s Supper, the scripture and sermon focus will be on the topic of joy. At the 11:00 a.m. service children who have been meeting with Rev. Vande Bunte will share in the sacrament of communion for the first time. Music is offered by the Echo Ringers, Alleluia Angels and Senior Choir at both services. If you cannot be in worship and would like the communion brought to your home or hospital room, please contact one of the ministers.

Sunday, May 13th: Sixth Sunday of Easter. On this Mother’s Day, we give thanks for those who nurtured us. We worship at 9:15 and 11:00 a.m. Our youth choir, Jubilation!, sings at both services. We will explore how we find security in Christ.

Sunday, May 20th: Seventh Sunday of Easter. What does it mean when we say “be optimistic?” Come find out how Jesus makes a difference as we consider this sometimes missed ingredient of life. We bring our praises and prayers to God at both 9:15 and 11:00 a.m. The Senior Choir provides musical leadership.

Sunday, May 27th: Pentecost. A major festival of the church, 50 days after Easter, we rejoice together in the expanding and enlivening gift of the Holy Spirit. Banners and the pulpit cloth are switched to red, signifying that the Spirit descended upon the earliest disciples as with tongues of fire. Join your church family for worship this morning at 9:15 or 11:00. We will celebrate the “birthday” of the church as the sermon focuses on selected passages from Acts 2. If you are able, wear something red to symbolize the season! We celebrate the sacrament of baptism at the 11:00 a.m. service. The Senior Choir offers service music at both worship opportunities. In lieu of individual classes, the church school will meet for a special group activity this morning.

Sunday, June 3rd: First Sunday after Pentecost. On this Confirmation Sunday we worship at 9:15 and 11:00 a.m. as our confirmation students confirm their faith. What a great opportunity to celebrate with them and their families, as well as for us to recommit ourselves to being followers of Jesus Christ! The Lord’s Supper will be celebrated and music will be offered by the Exultation Ringers and Senior Choir at both services. Nursery care is offered at the 9:15 service.
