Here are more details to help you get interested in this idea:
Join in a daily devotional reading from The Upper Room Daily Devotional Guide. This is a gentle time of honoring our God with a slow reading of the short devotional. This will be a time of tender listening to Spirit, and You can expect that your pastor will be willing to facilitate the meeting but will invite other readers and be happy to share in the facilitation as well. The hope is that this may become a regular part of your daily faith practice and a spiritual discipline to dedicate this time to God. And also, this gathering will be drop-in-friendly. That means it’s okay if you can’t come consistently because each session stands on its own, so you are free to participate (or drop in) if you are able. You are welcome to share this opportunity with others looking for a faith-affirming option beyond our Ronald United faith community, who are busy with their schedules.
If this opportunity is an excellent addition to your personal discipleship journey, we will continue this opportunity until July.

Our Church also purchases a few copies of this devotional, and you may pick up a print copy (large print and pocket size) as long as the supplies last. We will keep investing in print copies as long as we see them utilized.
Each day’s devotional is written by a diverse group of people from all over the globe). The Upper Room intentionally publishes submissions from all over, as their slogan is “Where the World Meets to Pray.”
Wednesdays 5:30PM
Kids’ Check-In (online only)
-
Kids’ Check-In is a fun, high energy, kid centered one on one time for our kids with their pastor! This playful, virtual meeting is typically 30 to 45 minutes and packed full of fun, interactive games, relevant history, scripture and prayer. It is gear for ages 5-12. This allows your kiddo to grow in their own faith and establish a positive and nurturing relationship with God for their context. In addition, it allows our pastor to build relationships with our youngest disciples and makes faith accessible to their young, curious minds!
Would you like to have this automatically added to your google calendar? Email Pastor Kate “kids’ check-in calendar” at Pastor@RonaldUMC.org and she’ll share the calendar invite.
You will receive a gentle built-in reminder for all sessions (with the link included) so you don’t have to keep track of the dates yourself if you accept the calendar invitation! (You can delete this from your calendar at any time).
Tips & Details:
Kid’s check-in is drop-in friendly. This means it’s okay if your kiddo can’t come consistently because each session stands on its own. You are welcome to share this opportunity with other families looking for a faith option in their busy schedules.
Please encourage your kiddos to have their camera on (please don't worry about the laundry in the background or their messy hair- it’s all part of teaching them to show up as they really are and knowing God doesn't need us to perform or pretend perfection).
It’s okay for them to join from a phone or while on the go.
It’s okay if households need to share one screen but when possible if kids can use their own devices in separate rooms, it will maximize their experience.
We meet on whenever Shoreline school district school also has school.
