RBC Family:
John 16:33 (ESV)
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
RBC began a progressive reopening of in-person activities at the church on June 14, once Union County entered PA’s Green Phase of reopening.
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 2 of the reopening plan on August 16. The guidelines for Phase 2 of our reopening plan can be viewed at at this link {click here}. Please read the guidelines thoroughly and carefully to inform your decision about attending our in-person service. We request everyone comply with the guidelines if they attend our in-person service.
We will continue to livestream the sermon on Sunday starting at 10:45 am via Facebook {Note: you do not have to have a Facebook account to watch the livestream, you can access the church’s Facebook site through the church’s website, https://www.rbclewisburg.org/, on the News & Events page}. We will also post the audio sermon on the church’s website on Sunday.
The officers continue to encourage everyone in the RBC family to stay connected by participating in-person or by phone or video in as many of our activities as possible. The interaction provided by each of the activities will lift you up and help overcome feelings of isolation. Please join us.
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.
Look out for your neighbors as well, particularly those who might need help with a grocery delivery or household chores. Each of us can be the hands and feet of Christ, carrying the comfort and peace of God’s presence to those around us.
We continue to pray for each of you. Trust in Him – Our Lord is in control.

Special studies in adult Sunday school. The next time for the separate special studies for the men and women is on September 6. Sunday school will start at the regular time (9:30). The men will meet in the auditorium and the women will meet in the fellowship room. The men’s study is called Iron Sharpens Iron and will study Biblical leadership based on Scripture. The women’s study will use “Adorned: Living Out The Beauty of the Gospel Together” by Nancy Demoss Wulgemuth, which focuses on the Titus 2 model of older women living out the gospel and training younger women to do the same.
