Greetings friend,

Last Sunday was the largest attended church service ever at RCC! Wow! I apologize to those who arrived and couldn’t find parking onsite. Many had to park across the street and walk over and I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

With that said, there were many first-time guests who’ve never been to church before and for that I am very excited! Excited that they came to see what worship is like, what Jesus is about and praying they’ll want to come back for another encounter with the Gospel! I personally had two Gospel conversations with folks who didn’t follow the Lord… yet. We’ve learned some things from last week and we’ll implement them next year, if the Lord hasn’t already returned!

This Sunday’s sermon – “Heavenly Questions”. As promised, I will answer some of the most-asked questions about Heaven, the hope of every believer. I am looking forward to worshipping with you and discussing this timely topic.

FYI, the 9am service is less crowded and getting in and out is easier than at 11am… for you early risers. You know who you are!
