Greetings friend,
I’m sad and frustrated to have to warn people about a scammer who is currently attempting to defraud people at RCC. They’ve set up a fictitious email account with my name and are asking people to purchase gift cards for needy people at Christmas. That’s low, even for scammers… Please don’t respond to them in any way.
In others news…. This Sunday in our Christmas series called “Through Their Eyes” we’ll take a look at the story through the eyes of the Shepherds who had a unique, and unforgettable experience that night to say the least! I hope you can join us for this special message and the Restored Christmas Choir!
Coming Events:
Our 9th annual Christmas Eve Candlelight Service is almost here, and our team is hard at work making it an unforgettable evening of worshiping and celebration of the birth of our Messiah, Jesus Christ! I hope you can make one of the two services at 3 or 6 pm! And remember, this is the perfect time to invite that person you know who needs Jesus! Debbie and I have given out 7 Christmas invite booklets so far and the response we’ve received from each person has been really great. At one of my favorite restaurants, I’ve had 3 different servers wait on me over the last month. Last Wednesday, I started to engage the server with the booklet, and she interrupted me with “Wait a minute, you’re the pastor, right?” I guess other servers had talked amongst their selves about the pastor who’s giving away a twenty-dollar bill along with a book and an invitation to a Christmas service! She said some of the staff might come together to see what it’s about. God is so good! I hope you’ll find someone to give your invitation to soon. It’s actually fun to do.
Looking ahead to our annual Vision Dessert 2026 January 11! Each year we ask table hostesses to bring a delicious dessert to share with 7 other people. The evening is a time when we thank God for His past blessings and faithfulness and take a peek at where God seems to be calling us to work in the coming year. You can sign up on our website to attend, or you can register to bring a dessert, too. This is always a really special evening!
Be sure and check out the Men’s and Women’s Bible studies beginning in January and sign up for the one that tickles your fancy! You can get all the information online or in this Sunday’s bulletin.
The Restored Israel Tour is almost full. We have 5 seats left. The tour begins April 21 and concludes May 1, 2026. Come see your Bible come alive right before your eyes. For more info go to Inspirationtravel.com/Restored
May your thoughts and heart be ever on the Christ-Child turned Savior of the world.
Thanks for staying InTouch,
Pastor Ben
