Our 2023 Fourth Quarter Business Meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 24th at 6 pm. Dinner will start at 5:15pm and will be provided at no cost. However, we ask that you RSVP here if you plan to eat. We hope to see everyone there!

Please note that on Wednesday, 1/31 we will have special speaker, Annel Robayna, sharing with us during our regular Bible study hour (6-7pm). Annel is the Hispanic Church Mobilization Strategist with the International Mission Board.

If you plan to eat dinner on 1/31 and have not yet signed up, please make your reservation here at your earliest convenience. We hope to see you there!

The RBC Men's 2024 Spring Grow Group will begin meeting on Thursday, February 1st at 9:00am at RBC. This 8-week group will be based on the book, The Stressless Life by Vance Pitman and the cost is $10. The book can be picked up from the church office.

Be sure to mark your calendar for the 2024 RBC Churchwide Retreat on August 2nd-3rd at the Alabama 4-H Center! More details to come!

Wednesday Night Schedule

5:15 PM- Dinner

6:00 PM- Adult Bible study and children's/youth activities

7:00 PM- Adult Choir Rehearsal

Please make your dinner reservations here as soon as possible if you plan to eat on Wednesday nights during the month of January. After signing up for the meals you will attend, we ask that, if at all possible, you pay for your meals on the Sign-Up Genius website. Simply leave the quantity as "1" and input the total cost for the month in the "cost" box. This is a secure site, much like Realm. However, if paying online is not an option for you, please submit a cash or check payment to the church office at your convenience as money will no longer be taken in the fellowship hall on Wednesday nights.

Feel free to email Noelle with any questions or concerns you may have regarding Wednesday night meal sign-ups/payments.

If you would like to support our congregation and ministerial staff by engaging in supportive prayer during Sunday morning worship, sign up for a time slot here.

Are you looking for a way to serve? Do you have instrumental talent that you would like to share with our congregation? Email Roberta about joining RBC's worship team! She is looking especially for those who play drums and/or guitar with a reasonable level of proficiency. We would love to hear you play!

1. Proverbs 21: 1-2 “The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes. Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts.”  Father God, how grateful we are that You not only weigh the hearts of all, but You can turn our hearts so that we actually fit Your plan. Teach us to trust Your goodness and faithfulness in all things. 

2.  Genesis 32: 9-10a NASB Jacob said, ‘‘O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your relatives, and I will prosper you,’ I am unworthy of all the lovingkindness and of all the faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant. . ‘’’ Father God, like Jacob we are unworthy of all the lovingkindness and faithfulness You have shown to us. While Your direction for each of our lives may be very different from Jacob’s, Your blessings to us have been very great. Help us to listen and follow Your direction.
