Retirement Party: There will be a catered luncheon honoring the retirement of Pastor Steve and Mildred Herman on Saturday, June 13th, from 12:00 – 3:00 p.m. at the Fellowship Hall. Due to limited space in the hall, this will be a reservation-based event. If you did not get an email invitation, please contact Heather Freeman at (609) 458-2909. Responses are past due.
There are two kinds of note cards in baskets in the church entryway today. They are for anyone who would like to write a memory, blessing, or thank you to Steve and Mildred for their ministry to RUMC. Take the note card home to fill out and return it before the retirement party or bring it with you that day. There will be a special box for the note cards or any cards that you bring.
If you have any photos you would like included in the photo montage, please send them to stiles.jjr2@comcast.net.
