• WELCOME BACK RACHAEL AND FELLOWSHIP

  We were delighted last Sunday to welcome Rachael Delekta, our member from Florida, to in-person service with us. Rachael, a faithful member of RUMC left NJ in 2014 to live in Florida. Thanks to ZOOM, she has been able to rejoin our services again since last spring. This month, she traveled north for the first time in over a year to visit family in Pennsylvania, then drove over to NJ for worship at RUMC. "It is so wonderful to be back," she said, meeting Pastor Heeyoung and some members in person for the first time. Rachael was especially grateful for prayers that supported her during her surgery to donate a kidney to her friend, Stacey. "I don't know how I would have done it without all your prayers," she said. After worship, everyone shared a joyful lunch and fellowship. 

• THE FUTURE OF RUMC

  What is your vision for the future of RUMC?  In July, we will begin a three-church partnership, including Lyndhurst UMC and First United Methodist Church in Passaic. We pray for Pastor Lim as he takes leadership of a third church (Passaic), and we welcome our new assistant pastor Daniel Jimenez. Let's rejoice in this opportunity to increase activity, share ministry with others, and strengthen our finances as well as our faith.
