World Communion Sunday
On this Sunday, United Methodists join Christians around the world in celebrating Holy Communion, remembering that we are one in Christ, no matter our background, language, or culture.
But it’s more than just worship. It’s also a time to support scholarships and leadership training for students from underrepresented communities—helping the Church become more inclusive and better equipped to serve.
Family Scavenger Hunt
Come play with your friends! This event is open to everyone!
We will meet in Canyon Lake Park for a Fall Scavenger Hunt.
Can't attend?
Pick up a copy of the Scavenger Hunt and do it as a fall family activity.
Check on Mom's Morning Out Facebook page or the MMO page on the church website on the day of the event for the exact meeting location in Canyon Lake Park and for inclement weather announcements.
Ladies Craft Night : October 7
All ladies are invited to wooden pumpkin painting.
Children can join Anne Torgerson and Hannah O'Donnell in Messy Church upstairs!
BLOOD DRIVE OCTOBER 13
We still have spots open for our Blood Drive on Tuesday, October 13. You can contact the church office to sign up!
Do You Have Any "Bazaar" Donations?
We are accepting donations from October 1 to October 20: knick-knacks, regift-ables, and Christmas decorations. You can drop your items off at the church.
The Best Bazaar Ever will be October 24 from 9:00am to 2:00pm.
Quest Sundays 5:15pm. to 6:00pm. Beginning November 1
There will be a new worship service happening at Rapid City First United Methodist Church. This service will be an addition to our current 9:00am and 11:00am services. This is not a replacement for any service, but a new opportunity.
Do you know anyone who may be interested in joining?
Are you curious about faith? Do you have questions about Scripture? Are you seeking a connection to God in your daily life? This is worship that encourages exploration and cuts deeply into your personal experience wherever you are on your faith journey.
