In 2025 we are celebrating RCP’s 75th year! 

Our theme will be Make a Joyful Noise based on Psalm 100. We want to make a joyful noise together and celebrate God’s faithfulness to His people and  RCP. His steadfast love endures forever! We hope to see you here and to celebrate with you. 

 

“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
    Serve the Lord with gladness!
    Come into his presence with singing!

Know that the Lord, he is God!
    It is he who made us, and we are his;[a]
    we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
    and his courts with praise!
    Give thanks to him; bless his name!

For the Lord is good;
    his steadfast love endures forever,
    and his faithfulness to all generations.”

​

  - Psalm 100 ESV
