On Saturday, June 20, RCC is once again collaborating with Reform Congregation Oheb Sholom in a shared
spirit of service during West Reading’s annual Arts on the Avenue.  This year Mary's Shelter will also be joining us to bring fun games and other activities to the corner! If you'd like to help out with this event, please sign up via the green plus button! Any help we can get will be greatly appreciated! 

RCC is partnering with Inside Out Church & Pretzel City Parish for the “No More Trash Bags” campaign to support children in foster care by providing new or gently used luggage. Many kids entering foster care or returning from in-patient care facilities are forced to carry their belongings in trash bags, and this drive helps restore dignity by collecting suitcases, duffel bags, and backpacks. You can place any gently used luggage or bags you’d like to donate in the space next to the welcome bar. The collection runs through June 7.

Name Tag Sunday is a great way to connect with the church! 30 minutes before service starts on June 7th, we will meet for breakfast in the welcome room. We hope you'll enjoy this amazing feast!

We also need additional volunteers for a new Custodian Ministry. This ministry partners with Kathy for the stewardship of the spaces we enjoy each week. Custodial care typically includes tasks such as sweeping, mopping, dusting and emptying trash cans. We’re looking for people willing to help take care of the building for about 2 hours to vacuum during the week, and/or a Sunday after church to gather and remove trash. Your volunteer hours are worth more than you could imagine! Sign up via the green plus button!

The Food Ministry is looking for individual or family volunteers to choose an upcoming month and help out on one Saturday afternoon, taking a trip to the Wyomissing PA Dutch Farmers Market to pick up donated food, and then delivering it to a few places around the city like Safe Berks and Mary’s Shelter. Additionally, those who volunteer for this ministry may take a bag of food home. These trips would start at 4pm and only take about 30 minutes. Click the image above to sign up!

Coming up on June 5th is the next Listening Room! Expect big sounds, strange stories, punk energy, and pure imagination from John Milosich, the leader of the band, “Featherburn” as he weaves rock, punk, eastern Europe and storytelling into a deep, playful wake-up call to marvel and wonder. Following him will be “Strays and Misfits,” a husband and wife duo from West Grove, Pa. Their unique style combines elements of Americana, blues, gospel and rock. Doors open at 7, feel free to BYOB or snack!

We are partnering with Hope Rescue Mission and Lighthouse to collect donations of clothes and accessories for their residents. There is a large box located in the main stairwell where you can drop off new or used clothes for children, men, and women. 

If you're looking for a way to get connected, make friends, or serve, this is your chance to get involved! We have opportunities ranging from teaching children with the family ministry to delivering tasty donations with our food ministry! You can find a list of ALL our volunteer positions here.

Every Sunday at 8am, all guys are invited to come early for breakfast. This time is intended for connection and good food; there's no program or structured discussion. If you want to get to know some of the other men at RCC, this is the perfect place.
