Wednesday Night Schedule

5:15 PM- Dinner

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

***The April Wednesday Night Dinner signup is now available here. The Wednesday Night sign up for May will be available on 4/25***

Please make your dinner reservations here as soon as possible if you plan to eat on Wednesday nights during the month of April. 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.

We will continue to collect our Easter offering for North American missions through the month of April. This year our goal is to reach $15,000. Please prayerfully consider contributing to help support those on mission across the continent.

Families,

You are invited to our First Annual End of Year Celebration Luncheon on May 5^th immediately following morning worship! This is a time set aside to celebrate together as a family all the Lord has done this school year. We will have food, a craft, group pictures, and gifts for each child from their teachers/the kids ministry. This is a unique chance for you to engage together as a family and for parents to see a little more about what the Kids have done on Sunday’s and Wednesday. I would love for you to be part of this special luncheon! Please RSVP to camille@rbcstaff.com by May 3^rd if you and your family are planning to eat lunch with us! I know this is short notice and is nothing like we have ever done before, but I'm excited to spend this time with our families and make this part of our yearly rhythms in RBC Kids Ministry!

I look forward to seeing you there!

Mrs. Camille

"God, give me the conviction and courage to be like the heroes of Hebrews 11. Teach me not to hold onto those things in my church that are my personal preferences and style. Show me not only how to let go, but where to let go, so that I may heed Your commands more closely."

1. Romans 11: 33 NASB  “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!”   Lord God, our minds are much to small to comprehend Your wisdom and knowledge. Often we cannot understand Your decisions or see the good in Your plans. We can, however, practice trusting Your ways and acknowledging that You do all things well. Increase our faith and help us not to complain when things do not go as we planned. Remind us to have praise continually on our lips.

2. Romans 12: 2  NASB “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Lord God, what a large order this is for us. The noises of the world can be very loud, while it seems You are whispering to us. Help us to do those things that make our senses attentive to Your voice. Help us to discipline our lives to hear You clearly.
