New Sermon Series
September 12th - October 31st

 
Courageous and forward-leaning mission congregations practice spiritual disciplines. Our vital work is a spiritual adventure based on John Wesley's Means of Grace. John Wesley taught that God's grace is unearned and that we are not to be idle waiting to experience grace but we should engage in the Means of Grace. The Means of Grace are ways God works invisibly hastening, strengthening; and confirming faith so that God's grace pervades in and through disciples. As we look at several of these Means of Grace we will gain tools to develop and nurture our personal faith and relationship with God.  We will also become better equipped to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the world.  The series begins September 12th and will cover topics including Study, Worship, Prayer, Sacraments, and Teaching.  Join us in person or online for this exciting 8-week series.  
Flower Chart Openings
Our Flower chart is available if you would like to sign up and bring flowers to decorate our altar for a specific Sunday.  Every Sunday between now and the end of the year is currently open.  Simply write your name on the calendar outside of the office, then bring an arrangement that Sunday morning.   You can pick any Sunday or a Sunday that has specific meaning to you.  It can be in honor or memory of someone or of a special event like a birthday or anniversary.

Never Heard of Scrip? 
 
Put simply, scrip are gift cards.  These gifts cards, however, help earn money for the church while you do your shopping or buy gifts for family and friends.  To learn more about our scrip program, you can visit our scrip webpage ramonaumc.org/scrip-program/
 
Ready to Order Scrip? 
Buy it Sunday morning, if it's in stock, or contact the wonderful Karen Harris who is in charge of the Scrip Program.  She is willing to order Scrip and bring it Sunday morning, or to meet church members at the church to distribute cards when needed.  She prefers a text message, but if you don't text, a phone call will work:  760-519-4035
CD/ DVD Worship Service Ministry

If you, or someone you know, has trouble viewing our worship service on YouTube or Zoom, we are happy to send out a CD or DVD copy of the worship service each week instead.  We are already doing this and would gladly do it for more people. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the weekly worship services.   The disks usually arrive in the mail on Thursday or Friday of each week following the Sunday worship service.  This service is free, as our Good Samaritan Fund covers the very minimal cost of Media Mail rate from the Post Office.

How to Lift up a Prayer Request to be Shared in Worship
Prayer concerns for worship can be submitted throughout the week but have to be turned in by 9:00 am on Sunday to be sure they are included in Sunday's worship service.  If you don't like using electronic devices,  you can fill out a prayer card in the back of the sanctuary before church and hand it to Jennifer at the table in the back of the sanctuary.  Otherwise you can send us your prayer concerns anytime using one of the following ways.
EMAIL: sundayprayers@ramonaumc.org
