We are excited to begin preparations for VBS 2023 which will take place from 6/19-6/23. We will need plenty of volunteers, so please email Camille at camille@rbcstaff.com if you are willing to serve in this way. Also, registration for VBS is now open here! (The sooner, the better so we know how many supplies to order!!) We hope to see everyone there.

Get ready for the 2023 Spring Rummage Sale happening on May 6th at RBC! We encourage you to drop off items in the church office that you would like to be included in the sale. All proceeds will go toward children's ministry needs, including offsetting the cost of children's camp.

Don't miss our Summer kick-off at the Birmingham Barons game on June 4th! All ages are welcome and you can sign up here.

We are excited to announce that Dr. Paul House of Beeson Divinity School will be joining us as our retreat guest speaker, and Justin Cross will be leading worship. You don't want to miss this! Sign up here for the 2023 RBC Churchwide Retreat!

1. Deuteronomy 28: 1 and 15 NASB “Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I (Moses) command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. . . But it shall come about, if you do not obey the Lord your God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes with which I (Moses) charge you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you.” Lord God, this is a strong warning to us today concerning how we treat your commandments and statutes. Would You help us to diligently seek Your will in all things? We desire to be obedient to Your commandments. 

2.  Psalm 1: 1 “How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.” Father, what truths for good living You share with us! You teach us that by abiding in Your word our lives are blessed, just thinking on Your word helps us to avoid many mistakes. Help us to prioritize our times for study and meditation.
