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!

"God, open my eyes that I might see my church as You see it. Let me see where change needs to take place, even if it is painful to me. And use me, I pray, to be an instrument of that change whatever the cost."

1. Psalm 23: 1-2 NASB “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. Father God, my good Shepherd, how wonderful to realize that You have my best interest at heart. You offer me rest, peace and quiet in a world filled with noise, hurry and anxiety. Teach me to run to You before I get all tangled up in things that You have not planned for me. 

2.  Psalm 66: 5 & 7 NASB “Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men. He rules by His  might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves.” Father God, help us to listen and obey Your leading while walking in the knowledge of Your abiding presence and constant rule. You are mighty in all You do with us individually and among the nations! Thank You Father.
