Weakly Trivia Question
Yes – I know I spelled it weakly and not weekly. This is not going to be the strongest of connection411 features, but it could prove to be fun! First one to correctly respond will receive a piece of DOVE chocolate. . .
This week’s weakly question: Cindy Jolbert job shares the Administrative Assistant position with Tracy Harp. On Wednesday, Cindy arrived back home from her vacation where she was visiting her parents. Name the town/city and the state where Cindy has been. Hint – she had an ocean view!
First one with the right answers gets the chocolate!

This Weekend – Palm Sunday @ RFMC
Now there are two opportunities each weekend to worship with God’s people – Saturdays at iWorship 5:07pm and Sundays at 10:00am. The message at both services will be the same, while the format and worship music will differ slightly.
This week begins our Holy Week celebration. Each member of the congregation will receive a palm frond. Pastor Bill continues a sermon series – James – Walk By Faith. This sermon series has been birthed out of a sense that we need to get deep into the Word, and that we need not just a theoretical faith, but a real faith for a real world.
In our text for this week, James asks an important question, “Who is wise and understanding among you?” It’s a key question: How do you know who to believe or who to follow? James contends that wisdom is not about educational credentials, position, or charisma. Wisdom is about how we live.
Pastor’s message this week is titled, “Two Points of View” based on CLICK HERE FOR TEXT - James 3:13-18
Together we have the opportunity to celebrate with Dennis and Vicki Bell as they baptize Sunday morning Gracie Bell. Pray for them as they take this very important step of faith.
Saturday iWorship, and Sunday 10 AM Worship is being led by Pastor Greg and the rest of the Worship Team Band. Please lift all of these people up in prayer. If you would like to be a part of the worship team please take a couple moments and speak to Pastor Greg.
Join us, and why not bring a friend to hear this wonderful message of grace!
No Luncheon
Due to miscommunication we regret to inform you that the luncheon in honor of Gracie Bell that was to be held in the Fellowship Hall Sunday, following the Worship Celebration will not be held. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.
Easter At RFMC
Celebrate Easter, and the redemptive act of Christ, with us this year!
Friday, April 10th, we begin our observance of Good Friday beginning with a Cross Walk. This Cross Walk begins at the Ransomville United Methodist Church, located next to the Post Office, and journeys to the Ransomville Free Methodist Church. Along this walk there will be several stops for Scripture reading, reflection, and singing as we move toward the Good Friday service. A school bus will accompany us on our route, available for warmth and transportation for those who would like to progress on this Walk but are not able to physically walk the entire route. The bus will return walkers to their cars subsequent to the Good Friday Service.
The Community Good Friday Service begins at 7:00 pm, as those on the Cross Walk arrive at the Ransomville Free Methodist Church, and will be a Tenebrae Service led by the area clergy.
Saturday, April 11th will be iWorship 507 and the beginning of our Easter Celebrations!
Easter Sunday begins with a Sonrise Service in our church pavilion at 7 am! An Easter breakfast follows at 8:00pm. Bible Hour on Easter Sunday is postponed due to the variant service schedule. Our primary Easter Celebration begins at 10 am.
Take a second and invite those you know to join you in one or all of these special services! 82% of people who are asked will come!
