RBC Family:
John 14: 26-27 (ESV)
“26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
RBC continues its progressive reopening of in-person activities at the church that began on June 14.
We are thankful to be able to continue to gather again in-person in a limited way. Our overarching goal as we reopen is to ensure the protection of each other’s health as we gather again in-person. The attainment of that goal is a shared responsibility that will be achieved by our actions as individuals and as a church body when we come together. Those actions will be a true display of our love, patience, and kindness in caring for each other. It will also be through extending grace towards each other that we can submit to the guidelines established to make all in our church body feel safe as we return to worshipping together in-person, perhaps despite our own personal views.
We plan to start Phase 3 of the reopening plan on February 7. The guidelines for Phase 3 of our reopening plan can be viewed at this link {click here}. Please read the guidelines thoroughly and carefully to inform your decision about attending our in-person activities. We request everyone comply with the guidelines if they attend our in-person activities.
The most significant change in Phase 3 is the restart of Sunday school for all ages. Sunday school will start at 10:00 am with a 30-minute session.
The in-person worship service will start at 10:45 am. We are no longer providing a livestream of the service on Sunday. However, we continue to post the audio sermon on the church’s website on Sunday.
Thank you to those that have dropped off or mailed in your offering to the church. If you are able, please continue to give your offerings to the church. If you chose not to attend our in-person service, the best way to do so is to send them by mail to the church. We are still depositing checks, supporting our missionaries, and paying our obligations.
As always, but especially during this time, please send prayer requests or needs to the church via our email account (rbclewisburg@gmail.com), so we can continue to minister to each other. We encourage you to call and check on one another, especially among growth group members.
We continue to pray for each of you. Trust in Him – Our Lord is in control.
