RBC Family:
We continue to pray for wisdom and discernment on how to proceed during this challenging time as we monitor the guidance provided by our governmental authorities to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
We previously announced that RBC is cancelling all planned activities at the church building through March 31. Included in this cancellation are activities scheduled for this next Sunday, March 29, including Sunday school and the worship service. Also, included is cancellation of the following activities: the Men’s Romans Study on March 28 and the Ladies Morning Bible study on March 31.
We have decided to extend the cancellations through April 5. Included in this cancellation are activities scheduled for Sunday, April 5, including Sunday school and the worship service. Also, included is cancellation of the following activities: Youth Group on April 1 and the Men’s Prayer Breakfast on April 3. Additionally, we are canceling the physical meetings of the Ministry Teams on April 1 but asking each Ministry Team to consider still meeting via phone or video conferencing. Finally, we are discouraging the physical meetings of our Growth Groups during this period of restrictions; however, we are encouraging the Growth Groups to stay connected through phone or video conferencing.
Looking beyond April 5, we are cancelling the planned fellowship breakfast on April 12, Easter Sunday. However, we have not yet made any final determinations regarding the conduct of the service for that Sunday.
We will continue to monitor the situation week by week and intend to resume the normal activities as soon as we think it is prudent. Right now, we intend to continue to make these decisions a week at time regarding the conduct of activities at the church after April 5. We will communicate those decisions to you via email and the church’s website and Facebook page.
Once again, we are planning 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.
If you are able, please continue to give your offerings to the church. The best way to do so is to send them by mail to the church. We are still picking up the church’s mail, depositing checks, 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 May 3. 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.
