We are excited to continue preparing for VBS 2023 which will take place from 6/19-6/23. We still need volunteers, so please email Camille at camille@rbcstaff.com if you are willing to serve in this way. Also, registration for VBS is now open here! (The sooner, the better so we know how many supplies to order!!) We hope to see everyone there.

Congratulations to our 2023 graduates:

• Jonas Harrelson- Spain Park High School
• James Vick- Hoover High School
• Kassidi Cullen- University of South Alabama

We are so proud of your accomplishments!

We encourage everyone to complete a skills & interests form for the 2023-2024 church year. This will help us to determine where you would most enjoy serving at RBC! You can find an online form here, or hard copies are available in the foyer.

We are excited to announce that Dr. Paul House of Beeson Divinity School will be joining us as our retreat guest speaker, and Justin Cross will be leading worship. You don't want to miss this! Sign up here for the 2023 RBC Churchwide Retreat by 6/25!

See the tentative retreat schedule here! Confirmed times will be posted in July.

Visit the RBC website to learn more about the 2023 Bible reading plan.

If you would like to support our congregation and ministerial staff by engaging in supportive prayer during Sunday morning worship, sign up for a time slot here.

Have you found yourself in a caregiving role? Are you looking to share thoughts and ideas with other caregivers? If so, we would love to have you be a part of Caregiver Connections! An interest meeting will be held on Sunday, May 21st at 5:30 pm where more information will be given about this group. Attending the interest meeting does not mean you have to join the group- only that you are looking to learn more! Dinner will be provided, but if you plan to attend, please let Noelle know via email.

We will be collecting our Global Hunger Relief Offering from Sunday, 5/7-Sunday, 6/4. Please prayerfully consider contributing to help those who are struggling to obtain food both locally and globally.

1. Matthew 4: 19-20 NASB “And He said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.” Father God, if when You call us to do a particular thing we would stop what we are doing and follow You, this would bring You so much honor. Would You strengthen our faith to do whatever You ask without delay or argument?

2.  Genesis 48: 11-12 NASB “Israel said to Joseph, ‘I never expected to see your face, and behold, God has let me see your children as well.’ Then Joseph took them from his knees, and bowed with his face to the ground.” Father, over and over again, You surprise and delight us in ways that we never dreamed possible. Thank You for the blessings You shower upon us, those we never thought to request. Thank You for the miracles that seem too good to be true. We bless Your name!
