What a joyful day of worship at East View United Church of Christ! We were blessed to extend the right hand of fellowship to our newest member, officially welcoming her into our church family with love and gratitude.

We also had the opportunity to hear about our Online Prayer and Bible Study Ministry and the ways it continues to connect people in faith, prayer, learning, and community beyond our church walls.

God is doing wonderful things at East View, and we give thanks for every new connection, every shared prayer, and every opportunity to grow together in Christ. ❤️🙏🏾

Today, we gathered to Celebrate the Life and Legacy of our beloved Rita Rice, and what a beautiful witness it was to a life well lived and deeply loved.

Family and friends traveled from near and far to honor Rita’s memory. The sanctuary was filled to capacity—including the balcony—as members from several churches joined together in worship, remembrance, and thanksgiving.

One especially moving moment was the committal ceremony, when Rita’s daughter, Dr. Heather Rice, placed roses in her honor—a touching expression of love and farewell. And when Gideon sang “It Is Well With My Soul,” there were few dry eyes in the sanctuary. The music stirred our hearts and reminded us of the faith that sustained Rita throughout her life.

We give thanks to God for Rita’s faithful witness, her loving spirit, and the many lives she touched. May her memory continue to be a blessing, and may God’s peace surround her family Rev. Mack Rice, Brandon, Dr. Heather Rice, and all who mourn her passing. ❤️🙏🏾
