A NOTE FROM THE PREACHER
I thank God that I am a covenant member of a church family that continues to grow in our efforts to sing the glory of our great God. I thank God for Ty and our Music Team who always lead us in song so beautifully. It is such a joy to join my voice with yours as we sing from our hearts in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. I pray that we will be constantly motivated by the inspired words of Zephaniah 3:14–17 -

           Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion;
                       shout, O Israel!
           Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
                       O daughter of Jerusalem!
           The LORD has taken away the judgments against you;
                       he has cleared away your enemies.
           The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst;
                       you shall never again fear evil.
           On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
           “Fear not, O Zion;
                       let not your hands grow weak.
           The LORD your God is in your midst,
                       a mighty one who will save;
           he will rejoice over you with gladness;
                       he will quiet you by his love;
           he will exult over you with loud singing.

God sings over us (ponder that!), and we sing back to Him with gratitude for taking away the judgement we deserved and for clearing away our enemies – the world, the flesh, and the devil. Praise His name!

Here’s a good quote from James Montgomery Boice about singing:

“Music is a gift from God that allows us to express our deepest heart responses to God and His truth in meaningful and memorable ways. It is a case of our hearts joining with our minds to say ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’ to the truths we are embracing…It is what the four living creatures, elders, angels, and the entire creation are doing today in heaven. We join that great heavenly choir rightly, wisely, and joyously when we sing.”

Keep singing church!

Pressing on and singing with you, with our eyes on Jesus,

Pastor Butch
Elder Meeting Summary
The elders met on February 8. The highlights of that meeting are as follows:
 
  • We opened the meeting in prayer.
 
  • We met with Pam Hinesley, to hear plans for the remodeling of the church kitchen. We are thankful for Pam’s leadership in this project, as well as her ongoing oversight of the RCC hospitality ministry, and we look forward to getting this project started in the near future.
 
  • We met with Michelle Kuhn, the new coordinator of our women’s ministry. She shared some of her plans and her vision for the future of the ministry. We are so thankful for Michelle and her willingness to joyfully step into this position.
 
  • We discussed how we might give assistance to the Curry family in Liberia and their need for a deeper well to get water into their home. We are prepared to help support this project financially and will follow up with Ryan as to what their exact needs are. Be praying with us for the Curry family that their water needs would soon be met.
 
  • We are excited about the Youth Retreat planned for July 11-14 and will supplement the youth budget to help with the costs.
 
  • We closed the meeting in prayer.
 
Pressing on with you, with our eyes fixed on Jesus,
 
The Elders of RCC
Memory Verse for March
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)
Book of the Month
The Truth War by John MacArthur
Right now, truth is under attack, and much is at stake. Perhaps no one in America is more passionate than John MacArthur about exposing those who are mounting this attack? Especially those bringing the assault right into the church.

There is no middle ground, no safe zone for the uncommitted in this war. The battle for truth is raging, and this book reveals:

  • The pitfalls of postmodern thinking
  • Why the Emerging Church Movement is inherently flawed
  • Past skirmishes in the Truth War and their effect on the Church
  • The importance of truth and certainty in a postmodern society
  • How to identify and address the errors and false teachings smuggled into churches
