Lenten Book Study
Tuesdays, at 7:30 p.m., in the Library and via Zoom, beginning February 3
Looking to deepen your spiritual practice? How do we grow as Christians, and truly "walk the talk"? What does it mean to be formed into the image of Christ? These are some of the questions explored in John Mark Comer's recent book, Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus, Become like him, Do as he did. We will meet for six evenings, starting on February 3, skipping February 17, and concluding on March 17.
Led by Co-Pastors Dan and Cari, this will be a reading and discussion based group with the goal of supporting one another in living in the way of Christ. You're invited to purchase the book on your own and to read up through page 31 before our first gathering. Kindly RSVP to Cari to let us know you’ll be participating, and if you’ll need the Zoom link.
RPC Programs
Church Choirs
Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir, open to all persons high-school age and up, sings each Sunday of the program year (approximately nine months), on the great festivals of the church year, and for occasional concerts or other services. The ability to read music makes for ease of progress, but anyone who can match and maintain pitch is welcome! The Chancel Choir is fortunate to have section leaders (a core of professional musicians) who assist and help to inspire all singers and, by extension, all who worship here.
The Chancel Choir’s regular schedule is Sunday-centered. The usual routine is to begin with warm-up at 9:15 a.m., sing the 10:00 a.m. service, and then have the weekly rehearsal from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (note: there is time for all to enjoy a bit of fellowship at coffee hour following the 10:00 a.m. service). If you are not able to sing the entire season, participation as your schedule allows is more than welcome. A few rehearsals take place on weekday evenings or Saturday mornings to allow for rehearsing with additional singers or instrumentalists for special events such as Cantata Sunday or concerts.
Please contact Jason Charneski to learn more.
Winter Sing 2026
for Children in Kindergarten through Grade 5
Wednesdays – January 14 through March 25 (no session on February 18)
4:15 – 4:45 p.m., in the Westminster Room (snack available at 4:00)
Children are invited to join Mr. C. to sing and move about, all the while learning about how the ideas presented in what we sing relate to Bible stories, Jesus’ words, and the broader Christian faith. So that he might be able to prepare appropriately, please email Mr. C to let him know if your child plans to attend.
Middle School and High School Youth
We hope to create a structured music program for middle school youth in upcoming program years. High school youth are encouraged to join the Chancel Choir.
Instrumentalists
We encourage those who play instruments to contribute their musical abilities by adding these sounds to the many others offered in worship. Please contact Jason Charneski to learn more.
RPC Youth
Confirmation
The journey to Confirmation Sunday, June 7, 2026, is underway! That may seem like a long time from now, but we have much ground to cover. Together, we will soon begin exploring the core questions of the faith: What is God like? What is the Bible all about? Adam and Eve… what do they have to do with me? How can this world be both so beautiful and such a mess all at the same time?
Please keep this year’s class in your prayers throughout the coming months!
Upcoming Meetings
Sundays, January 11 and 25, at 5:00 p.m., in the Westminster Room
For more information, please visit our Confirmation page, or contact Mr. Love.
