RMBC 60th Anniversary Sunday, June 5, 2016—Save the Date! Planning meeting Tuesday, February 16, at 6:30 pm

Our “Dream” journey continues. As we travel through the months ahead we are still seeking to connect our dream with God’s dream for ourselves and our church. During the month of February there are two big events you will want to know about.

Deacon Team Meetings on February 21. Immediately after morning worship the current team members of the five ministry teams (consisting of deacons and non-deacons) will meet in assigned rooms to get updates, pray, and go over the team information. This is also a time for NEW PEOPLE to come to a meeting and learn more (no sign up required) and if you feel this is where God could use you then join the team if you feel led. Our five teams: Hospital, Bereavement, Homebound, Outreach, and Kingdom Impact (work/construction projects). So why not come to a team and explore if this is God’s dream for you?

Dream Sunday on February 28. During Sunday School we ask that all adult classes come to the sanctuary to be led by Dr. Bob Dale in a “dream” study. Join us by 9:50 after you have had time to do any class information/attendance. During morning worship Rev. Tony Brooks will be delivering the message. Then at 4:30 all deacons (current and inactive) and ministers will meet until 6:00 in the youth room for a leadership study. This is going to be a fantastic day and you will not want to miss it. We have a back up snow date just in case!
