Until that time, if you have access to the internet, the daily devotionals are available on www.rbc.org. You can also request to have them emailed to you daily.

We are again in need of people to prepare the Wednesday night meals this coming year. Each week approximately $100.00 is available to purchase the groceries needed for the meal. This is one of the most vital local outreaches of our church! If you are willing to serve in this area, please use the sign up sheet in the narthex.
