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.

The Offensiveness of Jesus – Aug. 22, 2021

Scripture: John 6:56-69

Melissa reminds us that a lot of what Jesus did during his ministry on earth pushed all sorts of boundaries. At times he was downright offensive. The people on the other side of Jesus’ offenses are those who had lost their bearing.

Following Jesus is not an orderly set of rules. Rather, we follow this sort of weird rabbi who wants to upend the very logic of purpose. We’re given a person who loves us unconditionally to depend on. We get this weird unpredictable and utterly dependable Jesus that is something better.
