So, for now, we will all need to mask up for Sunday Services, and other group meetings at RLC. The double doors in the lower lot will be our only access point. There will be no sharing of the peace before service or receiving line after church to maximize social distancing. Please do not attend church or other church activities if you have a respiratory illness or feel like you are coming down with one for at least 14 days after your full recovery. Family members should not attend either. Offering collection: We will not be passing the collection plate during the offertory. Please either drop your offering in the collection plates by the door or give online. Alternatively, you may mail a check to the church office. Communion will be coming in prepackaged hosts and cups, of both wine and grape juice. We are planning on having communion only 2 times a month (1st and 3rd Sundays.) Pastor will consecrate the communion elements during the service and we will commune together in the service at the designated time for communion. There will be a receptacle at the door for disposing the supplies upon leaving the sanctuary. We will no longer be doing a temperature check at church, but do ask you to self monitor your temperature at home before coming to church.

AME Scripture Reading: I Corinthians 11: 17-26 – 17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent, I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval. 20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers.

  • EARTH, WIND & FIRE -‐ Bio XRIJF JUNE 20-‐28, 2014 During the 1970S
    EARTH, WIND & FIRE - Bio During the 1970s, a new brand of pop music was born - one that was steeped in African and African- American styles - particularly jazz and R&B but appealed to a broader cross-section of the listening public. As founder and leader of the band Earth, Wind & Fire, Maurice White not only embraced but also helped bring about this evolution of pop, which bridged the gap that has often separated the musical tastes of black and white America. It certainly was successful, as EWF combined high-caliber musicianship, wide-ranging musical genre eclecticism, and '70s multicultural spiritualism. "I wanted to do something that hadn't been done before," Maurice explains. "Although we were basically jazz musicians, we played soul, funk, gospel, blues, jazz, rock and dance music...which somehow ended up becoming pop. We were coming out of a decade of experimentation, mind expansion and cosmic awareness. I wanted our music to convey messages of universal love and harmony without force- feeding listeners' spiritual content." Maurice was born December 19, 1941, in Memphis, TN. He was immersed in a rich musical culture that spanned the boundaries between jazz, gospel, R&B, blues and early rock. All of these styles played a role in the development of Maurice's musical identity. At age six, he began singing in his church's gospel choir but soon his interest turned to percussion. He began working gigs as a drummer while still in high school. His first professional performance was with Booker T. Jones, who eventually achieved stardom as Booker T and the MGs.

BY: EMILIO ALVAREZ, CAMPUS MINISTRY The title of this section was the opening statement of the U.S. Catholic Bishop's Pastoral Letter on Racism (1979). It's a statement that was true then and continues to be true today. Racism is evil. Racism still affects the lives of our brothers and sisters of color. Racism has an impact on all aspects of society. As we have recently seen, even our community is impacted by the evil of racism. WE MUST DO BETTER. We must make ourselves uncomfortable to be able to root out racism in our very selves. It is required of us to do this so that others can live lives of dignity. As we wrestle with the consequences of the sin of racism, let us come together as a community to support all who affected by this terrible evil. And, let us do everything in our power to become instruments of peace for o u r b r o t h e r s a n d s i s t e r s . I leave you with several sections of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. These sections expand on the Church's teaching that every form of discrimination must be eradicated from our society.
