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”.

Threshold Song
Tell Me the Stories of Jesus
v. 1-2 UMH #277
WORDS: William H. Parker, 1885
(Mt. 19:13-15; 21:8-9; Mk. 10:13-16; 11:8-10; Jn. 12:13) 
 
1. Tell me the
stories of Jesus
I love to hear;
things I would ask
him to tell me
if he were here:
 
scenes by the wayside,
tales of the sea,
stories of Jesus,
tell them to me.
 
2. First let me hear
how the children
stood round his knee,
and I shall fancy
his blessing
resting on me;
 
words full of kindness,
deeds full of grace,
all in the lovelight
of Jesus’ face.

Open My Eyes, That I May See 
UMH #454
WORDS: Clara H. Scott, 1895
 
1. Open my eyes,
that I may see
glimpses of truth
thou hast for me,
 
place in my hands
the wonderful key
that shall unclasp
and set me free.
 
Refrain
Silently now
I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
 
2. Open my ears,
that I may hear
voices of truth
thou sendest clear;
 
and while the wave-notes
fall on my ear,
everything false
will disappear.
 
Refrain
Silently now
I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my ears, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
 
3. Open my mouth
and let me bear
gladly the warm
truth everywhere;
 
open my heart
and let me prepare
love with thy children
thus to share.
 
Refrain
Silently now
I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my heart, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

Scripture Reading
John 6:1-14
CLM Twinkle Gordon

After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. A large crowd kept following him because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick. Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near. When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?” He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.” One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?”  Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was a great deal of grass in the place, so they sat down, about five thousand in all.  Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost.” So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.”

*Closing Hymn
Leave it There
UMH #522
WORDS: Charles Albert Tindley, ca. 1906
 
1. If the world
from you withhold
of its silver and its gold,
and you have to get
alone with meager fare,
 
just remember in his Word
how he feeds the little bird,
take your burden
to the Lord
and leave it there.
 
Refrain
Leave it there, (leave it there)
leave it there, (leave it there) 
take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there. (leave it there)
 
If you trust and never doubt,
he will surely bring you out;
take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there. (leave it there)
 
2. If your body suffers pain,
and your health
you can’t regain,
and your soul is
almost sinking in despair,
 
Jesus knows the pain you feel,
he can save and he can heal,
 take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there.
 
Refrain
Leave it there, (leave it there)
leave it there, (leave it there) 
take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there. (leave it there)
 
If you trust and never doubt,
he will surely bring you out;
take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there. (leave it there)
 
3. When your enemies assail,
and your heart
begins to fail,
don’t forget that God
in heaven answers prayer;
 
he will make a way for you,
and will lead you
safely through,
 take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there.
 
Refrain
Leave it there, (leave it there)
leave it there, (leave it there) 
take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there. (leave it there)
 
If you trust and never doubt,
he will surely bring you out;
take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there. (leave it there)
 
4. When your youthful
days are done,
and old age is stealing on,
and your body bends
beneath the weight of care,
 
he will never leave you then,
he’ll go with you to the end,
 take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there.
 
Refrain
Leave it there, (leave it there)
leave it there, (leave it there) 
take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there. (leave it there)
 
If you trust and never doubt,
he will surely bring you out;
take your burden
to the Lord and
leave it there. (leave it there)
