No Sunday Services at Shepherds Hall on Oct. 22 and 29

Raleigh Mennonite is holding an all-church retreat at Camp Agape Oct. 20-22, with the Sunday worship service held at the camp.
There will be no service at our regular location.

On Sunday, Oct. 29, Raleigh Mennonite will hold a joint service with Church of the Good Shepherd.
The service will be in the CGS sanctuary at 10:15 a.m.

There will be no Zoom stream held either Sunday.
On Oct 29 we are excited to participate in a joint worship service with our ministry partner, Church of the Good Shepherd. All RMCers are invited to participate in the choir that week. Sheet music will be available and choir rehearsals happen each Wednesday evening at 7 pm in the CGS sanctuary. On Oct. 29 folks are welcome to join us in the sanctuary or follow the livestream of the joint service with CGS on their YouTube site.

Please contact us if you questions.

Living in the Empire – Sept. 23, 2018

Today’s lesson from Genesis 39:1-23 about Joseph and Potiphar’s wife was particularly salient given the week’s current events. Melissa asks, “How is the empire we can’t help but be a part of controlling our lives? Where is our allegiance?” As Ta-Nehisi Coates has said, “You are called to struggle, not because it assures you victory but because it assures you an honorable and sane life.”

The service was also live-streamed and the video is available on RMC’s YouTube channel.
