60 Mile Breast Cancer Walk

Rev. Nancy will be walking in her fourth 60 mile Komen for the Cure Breast Cancer Walk this fall. She will be walking with her sister, Sue (a five year survivor), Heather, and Paddy. Rev. Nancy is helping her team reach their goal of $11,000 in contributions to Komen for the Cure. The money raised is used for breast cancer research, educational awareness programs, and early detection programs.

If you would like to make a contribution to help fight this disease that continues to affect so many women (and men), you may write a check payable to “Breast Cancer 3 Day” and either mail it to Rev. Nancy at 31 Farwell Avenue, Cumberland, ME 04021, or leave it in the Church Office.

Rev. Nancy is walking in honor of her sister, in memory of many people who lost their battle with cancer, and because everyone deserves a lifetime.

September 7th - Rally Day and Homecoming Sunday

Rally Day will be the time to learn about our new Sunday School program and register the children for an exciting year. Be sure to come and find out how your children will be learning about the Christian life with LESS sitting and MORE interactive games, music, drama, and other learning styles.

Meet in the Vestry at 9:45 A.M.
There will be a special YOUTH PROCESSION for ALL our kids
from the YOUNGEST to the OLDEST!
And a special YOUTH MESSAGE!
And FUN GAMES and ACTIVITIES!
And you can be part of a special RVCC CIRCLE OF COMMUNITY!

Homecoming Sunday is when we welcome back everyone who has been gone over the summer. We will also introduce our church theme for the year, which will be “Seeds of Hope, Seeds of Promise.” Each family is asked to bring a packet of seeds (flower or vegetable – or Jack-on-the-Beanstalk seeds!), which we will use in different ways throughout the year to come.

September 14th - Powerful Pathways: Joyful Journeys with Jesus Begins

Welcome to our NEW Sunday School program! This year we will be having a one room Sunday School for children in grades 1-6 and will be using the Rotational Model of Instruction. It’s based on the educational philosophy that children learn in all different ways, so the children will be involved in all sorts of interactive activities – from cooking to art to drama to music – and the list goes on.

Our theme for September until Advent will be “Joy and Compassion.” We will focus on three different Bible stories as the children learn about how these stories can impact their lives even today. The stories will be “The Good Samaritan”, “Noah and the Ark”, and “Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors.”
