Historic Sanctuary-8:15 a.m.
Worship Service
  |
This distinctive building sits in the center of our property, facing Mimosa Boulevard.
The Music of Preparation begins at 8:10 am and helps worshippers focus on the worship service that is about to begin. At 8:15 the Call to Worship announces that worship is starting. This service runs from 8:15 - 9:15 am, and includes preaching, prayers, an offering, and hymns.
This building was constructed in 1839, when the congregation had 15 members who dreamed of a growing ministry. Plaques in the Historic Sanctuary provide a glimpse of RPC history and of the "cloud of witnesses" who have preceded us.
Childcare is available on the first floor of the Sanctuary Building.

Communion
The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is celebrated monthly at RPC, usually the first Sunday of each month. Our "regular style" of serving means that worshippers remain seated and elders bring the elements to pass in the pews.
Several times a year, we serve using the ancient method of intinction. This style involves worshippers coming forward to one of several stations where elders and clergy offer bread and the cup. Worshippers break off a piece of the bread, dip it into the cup, and partake. Elders direct people when to come forward and return to their seats.
The Lord's Supper is also celebrated at our Ash Wednesday service, as well on Maundy Thursday during Holy Week.
The table at RPC is an open table..open to all who claim Jesus as Lord.
