Children and Youth

Adults
We have several adult groups including:
WELCA
The women of the church gather officially three times a year for a program, snack and business meeting. The “It Shall Be Done” women’s group meets every Thursday morning. They have a monthly bible study and keep busy quilting, making comfort pillows, sending cards and other service projects. They are true to their name, because if something needs to be done, it shall be done.
ROG
We’re not sure what this stand for, it could be Retired Old Guys, but other possibilities have been suggested. The retired men gather on Wednesdays at 9:00 am at our local Hy-Vee, 410 North Ankeny Blvd. for coffee and conversation. They also pitch in with projects around the church.
Saturday morning bible study
This group gathers on Saturdays mornings at 8:30 am at the Café Diem coffee shop, 2005 South Ankeny Blvd. They study the readings assigned for the next Sunday.
RLC Small Groups
RLC Riders meet from spring to fall a faithful group of bicyclists ride together on Sunday and Thursday evenings. All riding levels are welcome. If you are interested please contact Toni Humpfer at 515-979-7426 or Nancy Carlson at 515-779-3547.
RLC book club meets monthly during the school year.
In addition our Congregational Life Board coordinates fellowship events for the whole congregation, including Sunday morning coffee and Lenten soup suppers. Other events have included progressive dinners, annual picnics, I-Cubs games, hockey games and trips to the local theater.
Outreach
Outreach ministry of both word and service is led by our Social Ministry Board and the Evangelism Board (aka E-Team.)
Social Ministry
Our social ministry board coordinates the service activities of our congregation. This has included serving meals at the local homeless shelter, promoting the ELCA’s malaria campaign and participating in the annual Hunger Hike. They have also coordinated to mission trips to Cedar Rapids to help with post-flood recovery activities.
