Chatterbox Cafe: These dinner groups are set up twice a year with six to eight people in each group. We enjoy good food and fellowship in each other's homes.
Potluck Meals: We love to eat! And we have lots of good cooks! On many occasions throughout the year, we gather for potluck meals in our fellowship hall. In the past they have been associated with Pentecost Sunday, mission fundraising, and various programs.
Special Meals: On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, our youth host an Early Bird Thanksgiving Dinner. It is quite delicious, especially as it is served by our smiling young people. Easter Sunday Brunch is also a favorite. Members of the congregation prepare and serve this yummy brunch. Also, we have enjoyed special receptions for our new pastor and returning missionaries.
Men's Fellowship: Members and friends (males) gather for breakfast and fellowship in the fellowship hall at 8:00 a.m. on the first Saturday morning of each month. Each morning we enjoy a program that is usually provided by the members.
A unique part of our fellowship is "Helping Hands." We are organized to help members with small projects around the house that they cannot do themselves.
Our Men's Fellowship Group is affiliated with the National Men's Fellowship of the PC(USA). One of our own members, Doug Thomas, serves on the board of this denominational group.
Presbyterian Women: RRPC hosts two PW circles that meet monthly from September through May. One weekday group meets at the church and another evening group meets at a member's home. They share in the national PW Horizon's Bible study and make plans for year-round projects to support many needs of the church. We host the annual Craft Fair in the fall, and in May, we host a women's retreat.
Mary Martha Circle: meets the third Thursday at 10:00 AM in the library of the church.
Dorcas Circle: meets the second Monday at 7:00 PM in a member's home.
Monthly Singles' Lunch: Singles of all ages meet at Chamisa Hills Country Club after the 11:00 service on the third Sunday of each month for food and fellowship. To make reservations, please call Nadine Loetzer at 505-892-0516.
Youth Fellowship: Our church has a very active youth program, and our youth and their friends meet every Sunday evening at the church at 5:30 for dinner, a program, and planning their events and service. They enjoy such fellowship activities as lock-ins, rock climbing, parties and dances. They also provide fellowship events for the congregation and friends such as our annual Halloween Carnival and Early Bird Thanksgiving Dinners. One Sunday a month, we also provide doughnuts for Sunday morning fellowship.
Family Fun Night: One Friday night each quarter (May, August, November, and February), members of all ages gather for a Family Fun Night from 6:30 to 8:30. Mostly, we play board games, enjoy snacks, and have a great time!
Retreats & camping trips: From time to time throughout the year, RRPC plans camping trips and retreats.
Sunday morning fellowship: We gather for fellowship and goodies after each service on Sunday mornings. Members sign up to be hosts and provide the goodies after one or the other services. The rest of us enjoy eating and visiting and meeting our visitors.
