Worship Sneak Peek
July 31, 2022 at 10:00 am
Join us this Sunday in person or online at 10:00 am. We tend to imagine “new life” beginning in heaven, sometime in the future, after death, where everything will be all right and good. But only thinking of “new life” as what happens after we die does not allow us to embrace the vitality that God is creating for us here and now. This week, we celebrate the ministry of reconciliation that brings resurrection hope into our everyday lives. Hope to see you there!
Reminder: We have resumed in-person worship and continue to live-stream the service on our website and YouTube channel.

Check Out Brookdale Community College's Green Energy Program-
Guess who is catching up to our RBUMC with green energy?  We walked through the Brookdale campus Saturday morning after a 4 month hiatus and to our surprise and delight, we encountered a huge project placing solar panels over huge parking lots to shade the hundreds of cars plus providing green energy for the campus! We encourage you to check out this exciting project and to congratulate the decision makers and yourselves as tax payers! And the bonus - all the solar panels are produced in Vietnam. (Both the Vuong and Tran families came as refugees through our church in the 1980’s and we will share the good news with them). - George Schildge

Take a look at how beautifully this year's garden is growing:
Toddler & Baby Friendly Section in the Sanctuary-
At UMCRB, there are many ways we welcome young people to our church. One of the elements of UMCRB is the value the church places on young people and ways in which they are welcomed into fellowship, service and worship. Check out our new toddler friendly section in the back of the Sanctuary. This section is for very young children with parent supervision, only. The soft space is filled with toys, books and space for you and your babies during worship on Sundays.
