July Mission - Ronald McDonald House & Family Room
We provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare.
In support of our mission, the RMHCSC cornerstone programs are the Ronald McDonald House® and Ronald McDonald Family Room® (located in Children’s Hospital Colorado, Colorado Springs).
Our core values provide the foundation for decision-making and building for the future.
· We lead with compassion
· We are deeply respectful
· We act with integrity
We are firmly committed
Our vision is a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.
Our purpose is to care for families with children who are ill or injured.
Non-Discrimination Statement
As our core values affirm, we commit to aligning our culture, business practices and the services we provide to be a beacon of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging for all people.
The doors to our Ronald McDonald House® remain open for all seriously ill, hospitalized children and their families, ensuring they are together during a time of medical crisis. Just as accidents, injury and illness are the great levelers, so are dignity, kindness and equity. As a temporary home-away-from-home, families stay within steps and eyesight of their sick child. All races, colors, religions, national origins, genders, ages, sexual orientations, gender identification, gender variances, marital status, military status and/or physical or mental disabilities are welcome in the “House that Love Built”.

This Is My Song
UMH #437
1. This is my song,
O God of all the nations,
a song of peace
for lands afar and mine.
This is my home,
the country where
my heart is,
here are my hopes,
my dreams, my holy shrine;
but others hearts
in other lands are beating
with hopes and dreams
as true and high as mine.
2. My country’s skies
are bluer than the ocean,
and sunlight beams
on cloverleaf and pine;
but other lands
have sunlight too,
and clover,
and skies are everywhere
as blue as mine.
O hear my song,
thou God of all the nations,
a song of peace
for their land
and for mine.
3. This is my prayer,
O Lord of all
earth’s kingdoms:
Thy kingdom come;
on earth thy will be done.
Let Christ be lifted
up till all shall serve him,
and hearts united
learn to live as one.
O hear my prayer,
thou God of
all the nations;
myself I give thee;
let thy will be done.

Scripture Reading
Psalm 82
CLM Twinkle Gordon
God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” They have neither knowledge nor understanding; they walk around in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. I say, “You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you; 7 nevertheless, you shall die like mortals and fall like any prince.” Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you!

Scripture Reading
Luke 10: 25-37
CLM Twinkle Gordon
An expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.”
But wanting to vindicate himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and took off, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while traveling came upon him, and when he saw him he was moved with compassion. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, treating them with oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him, and when I come back I will repay you whatever more you spend.’ Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

Leader: May the words of my mouth,
People: and the meditations of all of our hearts
All: be acceptable in your sight, O Lord our rock and our redeemer.

Here I Am Lord
UMH #593
1. I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.

stars of night,
I will make their
darkness bright.
Who will bear my
light to them?
Whom shall I send?

I have heard You
calling in the night.
I will go, Lord,
if You lead me.
I will hold
Your people in my heart.
2. I, the Lord of
snow and rain,
I have borne
my people’s pain.
I have wept for
love of them.
They turn away.
I will break
their hearts of stone,
give them hearts
for love alone.
I will speak my
word to them.
Whom shall I send?
Refrain
Here I am, Lord.
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you
calling in the night.
I will go, Lord,
if you lead me.
I will hold
your people in my heart.
3. I, the Lord
of wind and flame,
I will tend the
poor and lame,
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.
Finest bread
I will provide
till their hearts
are satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?
