8-1-21 Pastors Kellie Whitlock and Kate Mackie

Audio from YouTube video: https://youtu.be/mKHeDA1RdQI We welcome you here to worship today!  Today's service will be looking at the Parable of the Lost Sheep as told by Jesus.  It talks about how a shepherd will leave 99 sheep behind to go search for the one that has strayed, and upon finding it, will rejoice and celebrate.  We serve an amazing God who will always hunt us down and bring us back into the safety of the fold, and for that we will celebrate!  Welcome to worship!

7-25-21 Sermon, Pastor Kate Mackie

Audio from YouTube video: https://youtu.be/XpmIkJXQfNY We are getting excited for this year's Vacation Bible School and the theme of "Weird Animals" which is set to begin in just over a week! So for the next two weeks in worship, we will be taking a look at scriptures dealing with animals and this week is the story of Daniel in the Lion's Den. RGPC began 2021 with a "No Fear New Year" theme and Pastor Kate will once again be revisiting this with her sermon titled "If These Walls Could Talk – A Return to a No Fear New Year." She will be preaching on what it means to have trust and faith in God when we are trapped in our own metaphorical Lion's Dens – when we are surrounded by things that cause us to fear and doubt. Thank you for worshiping with us today!  Welcome home! Bulletin: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ld8buote0anb02/July%2018%20Bulletin.pdf?dl=0

7-18-21 Sermon, Pastor Kate Mackie

Audio from YouTube video: https://youtu.be/7PRZ1cNjKDM This is our final week in Pastor Kellie's sermon series, "A Bridge of Hope – Where Faith & Mental Illness Connect."  This week, we will be focusing on how we as Christians seek to support our loved ones who may be suffering with mental illness and how we walk beside those who need us most. Jesus modeled that in every aspect of his ministry and we will seek to do the same. Welcome to worship!

6-27-21 Sermon, Pastor Kellie Whitlock

Audio from YouTube video: https://youtu.be/iOBv1PnFfto The first Sunday of our new sermon series titled: "A Bridge of Hope: Where Faith & Mental Illness Connect." Besides earning a Master's of Divinity degree, Pastor Kellie also has credentials with a master's in clinical psychology. This makes her especially unique to preach on the topic and share her perspective. The Church Universal has been silent too long on mental health issues and RGPC feels it is important for those struggling to know they are not alone. Welcome to worship!

6-20-21 Sermon, Pastor Kellie Whitlock

Audio from YouTube video: https://youtu.be/ufo6te27wEY The final Sunday of our "Standing in the Gap" sermon series and a significant "gap moment" in many people's lives is graduation.  Since this is our traditional Baccalaureate worship service, where we celebrate the graduates within our community, it's also a perfect opportunity to recognize the ways in which God is working in and through these transitions in our lives, preparing us for what lies ahead.

6-13-21 Sermon, Pastor Kate Mackie

Audio from YouTube video: https://youtu.be/lPeK1KveCAg We welcome you to worship as we continue on with our "Standing in the Gap" sermon series.  Today, Pastor Kate will be taking us through the familiar story of Noah and the Great Flood.  Often times this story focuses on Noah's obedience to God in building the ark then we spend time focusing on God's promise.  But what about the "in between time?" The time between the flood and final recession of the waters? Noah was standing in the gap waiting for what was to come - and that will be the focus of today's worship. You are welcome here!

Audio from YouTube video: https://youtu.be/q6OZX5KhnYw Break Away & Worship: Undivided ~ May 20, 2021 Division is normal.  But in God's Kingdom, it shouldn't be.  Division is a man-made concept, it is not of God.  This Break Away & Worship uses Psalm 133 and 1 Peter 4, coupled with the song "Undivided" by Tim McGraw and Tyler Hubbard, as the basis for a message to inspire all to be bridge builders - coupled with the charge to go and seek unity and inspire change wherever you may be.

5-9-21 Sermon, Pastor Kellie Whitlock

Audio from YouTube video: https://youtu.be/z3NgdDziw_c Break Away & Worship: Be the "i" in Kind Jesus Christ was the ultimate movement creator.  He was radical in his teachings on love, grace and forgiveness.  Inspired by these teachings, Saint Paul went on to write about the various fruits of the spirit with kindness being one of them.  In this worship experience, Pastor Kellie Whitlock reflects on the meaning of what it truly means to be kind, especially in this world where sometimes it feels like kindness is in short supply.  Pastor Kellie also takes some time to celebrate the "Be the 'i' in Kind" movement being supporting by various city leaders and businesses in the City of Livonia, Michigan - coupled with an initiative to raise funds to bless all teachers and staff of the Livonia Public Schools and Clarenceville School Districts in December of 2021.  So come, spend a few moments with us as we worship Jesus Christ, the ultimate movement-maker and the perfect example of kindness.
