Greetings friend,
Fall is such a beautiful time of year here in Idaho. And with its arrival, it signals that Thanksgiving and Christmas are not far behind. We are making some wonderful plans for both, which will bring you opportunities to invite friends to come hear the Gospel at RCC. Stay tuned for more exciting information!
In our study of Hebrews, we’ve been looking at Jesus – our Great High Priest. This week we’ll dive into what that means and what goes on inside the Heavenly Sanctuary in a message I’ve called – The Tale of Two Temples. We’ll take a look inside of the Old Testament Tabernacle and Temple which God gave very specific measurements and requirements for worshipping Him, as well as making offerings for sin. We’ll see how Jesus was in every act of worship and the hope of a final solution to our sin-problem. I hope you can be in church this weekend.
Upcoming Events:
We have two very special opportunities to serve coming up!
First: Fall Festival is right around the corner, and there are so many ways to get involved! Whether you sign up to volunteer, donate candy in the lobby bins, or bring your best chili recipe, you’ll be part of making this night an outreach to our community. Don’t miss out - join us in creating a Fall Festival full of fun, food, and fellowship! You can sign up to serve here and if you wish to bring an award-winning chili - you can enter your chili here!
Second: It’s almost time for Operation Christmas Child! OCC is our annual opportunity to send the gospel to children across the globe through the hundreds of “shoeboxes” filled with critical needs, some fun toys, and the message of Jesus Christ. I hope everyone will take this opportunity to give a gift to kids who likely have never received one, let alone have heard the Good News. Operation Christmas Child begins Sunday, November 2 at both services. You can pick up as many shoeboxes as you can fill and then return them a couple of weeks later.
Thank you for being a part of bringing the Gospel to Idaho, and the world through the giving of your Time, Talent, and Treasure! Through your generosity and faithful gifts, we are making Heaven crowded, and families stronger in their faith. And you’re sending treasure ahead of you into Heaven. Well done…
Praying for you. Thank you for staying InTouch!
