Welcome back to worship at Ranchos Presbyterian Church -
Our Session voted to resume regular Sunday worship. The Session surmises that initially the size of the congregation present will be well within the government-mandated rule. Rev. Gould states, “We shall again engage in corporate worship, it will not be “routine.” Distancing rules will be observed. BYOM – that is, bring your own mask. Passing offering plates, Passing the Peace, Communion and other activities will be modified. We are excited to be back.
Rev. Gould Celebrates 49th Ordination Anniversary: He graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in June 1971 earning a Master of Divinity degree (M Div.) He states, “His specialty was Local Pastoral Ministry -- all I ever wanted to do. And have done it for 49 years.” Congratulations Richard on your 49th year of Ordination. We pray the Lord will bless you as you follow His way. May you find joy and peace as He inspires you each day. May God give you every grace and blessing on this special day and all the days of your life.
