Hi friend,
This Sunday is our final Christmas message. I’ve titled it “The Heart of Christmas – Love”. Love was the motivating factor for God sending down His one and only Son to a lowly manger in Bethlehem some 2,000 years ago. I hope to see you Sunday as we open God’s Word, study it, and come to understand how to apply it to our lives. We have Hope, Peace, and Joy because God so loved us…
Additionally, this Sunday we’ll be joined by our friend and music artist – Uriel Vega! His saxophone just warms up our worship! Uriel will be in both Sunday services, and he’ll return for Christmas Eve service Tuesday, December 24 @ 4pm. This is an evening your family and friends will enjoy and remember for a long time.
Mark your calendar on Sunday, December 29th for the first concert in our new Restored Life Center featuring Leanna Crawford and Band, along with our own Restored Worship led by Nicole. Sunday morning services will include Leanna singing her song “Still Waters” and I’ll teach Psalm 23. Then, come back for the concert that night. Doors open at 6:15 and seating is limited. We’re planning for overflow up in room B with great video and sound, too. Come ready to worship!
Vision 2025 is on Sunday night, January 12th at 4pm. This is our annual vision dessert where you’ll hear about what God has done through our various ministries, and what we believe God is leading us to do in the new year. We’ll provide all the desserts and coffee for your enjoyment. Register online, along with how many kids will attend the RCC Kidz program that evening.
Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies begin in January. The men will study through the Book of Mark. The women will host 3 studies (2 Precept class times, and a study called “Untangling Faith”) from which to choose. For more information you can go to our website.
Have you received Jesus as your Savior, but still need to be baptized? You can register for the next Baptism Sunday online and plunge deeper into your faith during one of our baptism services.
May the Lord bless you and keep you and give you peace.
Merry Christmas and thanks for staying In-Touch,
Pastor Ben
