Women's Guild

The Women's
Guild is organized to help the church prosper in its
mission to witness to God and Jesus Christ. All women of
Rosedale church are members of the Women's Guild and are
encouraged to attend meetings and participate in the Guild
activities.
The Women's Guild
meetings are held the second Tuesday at 7:00PM in the months of March
through May and September through November. We run the
sandwich and soup sales, make fruit baskets for the homebound,
purchase a rose for each newborn baby and purchase a special
candle for each child that is baptized. We operate the bake
sale table at all dinners and chicken barbecues. In the past
we have run craft fairs and basket bingo. Birthday and
Anniversary cards are sent to each member on their special day
by a member of the Guild. We usually are able to donate
several thousand dollars annually to the church to support
it's general fund.

Christian Education
K. Powers, Chairperson, K. Sandman, Secretary
At Rosedale we have Sunday School classes for Pre-school age through
adult. We use the "Seasons of the Spirit" curriculum which
follows the lessons which are read in worship each Sunday. Our
Christian Education team works together on the following functions
each year: Awarding Bibles to our second graders, perfect attendance
and youth group awards, Blessing of the Animals, Halloween party,
Advent luncheon, St. Nicholas visitation, Live Nativity, Christmas
Eve stockings, Mardi Gras celebration, Easter Egg Hunt, Ascension
Sunday balloon launch, Pentecost birthday cake and summer Sunday
School.
Youth in third
through sixth grades assist in worship by serving as acolytes. Many
of these children also participate as members of the Chapel Choir
which sings in worship about once a month. During the children's
sermon in the 10:30AM Choral Eucharist Service the youth are able to come
forward and participate in a short discussion at which time they may
bring a donation which is called the "Kids 4 Kids"
offering. This offering is used to help other less fortunate
children in the community and around the world.
Our Youth
Catechetical Program leading to Confirmation is a two-year process,
usually involving those in grades seven and eight. The young people
discuss topics such as doctrine, the Christian life, worship, and
formation of the Bible. We invariably look into matters relevant to
the youth and their times. Opportunities for the older youth to
serve the church include assisting as doorkeepers, crucifiers,
readers and nursery attendants. Confirmation classes are held
every Wednesday evening at 6:30PM.
Inspirational
Bible Study
Rosedale recently
added a Bible Study program lead by A. Becker. Bible study is held
once a week during the summer months, starting in June! The topics
for this summer will encompass the Gospel of Matthew. Please
check the monthly calendar or contact the office for more
information.
