Join us for One Church Service on Feb. 8 at 10:00 a.m.
This is a great opportunity for us to worship as one church family in community with one another. Lunch will be provided immediately after the service in our renovated Fellowship Hall.
We will share in a ribbon cutting and will be accepting a noisy love offering to help us cover the costs for the floor renovations, so you can bring any loose change you have.
Come celebrate with us and join in a service project opportunity. We will create Golden Valentines.
What are Golden Valentines?
You are invited to flex your “risk-taking mission” and your “super creativity” powers by participating in the Golden Valentine project. The Valentines will be delivered to Senior Living Homes throughout the Black Hills. You may create Valentines in your small groups, in your own home or on Sunday, February 8 during our Souper Bowl of Love event. (Materials will be on hand at the event, but you are welcome to bring your own ideas and materials to share.)
All Valentines that are at the church will be delivered on Monday, February 9 for distribution throughout the region.

Psalms from the Inside Out
The Psalms give voice to the full range of human
experience — joy, grief, anger, fear, and hope — and invite
us to bring our whole selves before God.
No prior knowledge of the Psalms is needed. This
ongoing study invites open conversation, reflection, and
shared prayer.
Begins: Tuesday, February 17
Time: 5:30 pm (online option TBD)
Where: Rapid City First United Methodist Church
