THE CHURCH VIS ITOR

ALL Hands on Deck!

The time has come - the sanctuary update that we have been praying about, preparing for, and raising money for is about to begin.

This Sunday, we will be preparing the sanctuary for the renovation that begins on Monday, July 17th. We will need to empty the pews of all blankets, pew bibles and hymnals, pencils, Connect Cards and offering envelopes. We will also be removing 6 pews, carpeting on the stage area, all communion serving pieces and supplies along with all band equipment, piano and organ. The communion table will also need to be moved.

In order to be able to do this, we ask for all hands on deck! We also ask for you to bring the following tools so that we can make this happen: screw drivers, pliers, crowbars, hammers, socket wrenches, and utility knives.

We are working on having a nursery available for those who have children. We will let you know later on in the week.

“Many hands make light work!”

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the RHCC Sanctuary Improvement Project. We are $14,000+ nearer the finish line. We will continue the giving campaign for several weeks as the actual work begins. Your prayers and ALL forms of support are needed as we update our beloved sanctuary, the place we gather each Sunday to worship, recoup and declare the Good News to the world.

The Pioneer Class bought $250 worth of groceries for N.E.E.D. “Thank you, Pioneers, for your generous donation to our local food pantry.”

World Outreach Committee wrote out checks to the following: Mid Cities Care Corps - $500

(They are a non-profit organization, supported by churches, civic groups, businesses and individuals, working together to preserve the independence and well being of the elderly in Northeast Tarrant County.)

“The scope of the Great Commission is vast, and the obstacles to its fulfillment are formidable. But as we pray let us remember the words of Paul: ‘Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen’ (Ephesians 3:20-21). God is more than able. The Great Commission will be fulfilled. Will you be a part of it? Will you help others discover the unsearchable riches of Christ that you now enjoy?”

Quote from: “The Gospel For Real Life”

—by Jerry Bridges

We hope you will join us on July 18th as we begin to make our Christmas tray favors for area nursing and

rehabilitation centers. We will also be working on pillows for HEB Texas Oncology.

Hope to see you then! —CWF Service

Weekly Scripture Memory Verse for Sunday, July 16

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Loose Change Offering to be collected on July 30!

We will be collecting your loose change on Sunday, July 30. Start saving your change and make sure you bring it with you to church that day.

The money we collect will go to Richland Middle School, another school in our neighborhood.

RightNow Media It occurred to us recently that we have not mentioned this great resource the church provides in quite some time. Christian Ed made a decision a few years ago to invest in RightNow Media as resource that can be accessed from any smart device(TV, phone, computer) where you can look at a wide range of material--all Christian: Bible studies, cartoons, marital aids, conference presentations, leadership development (great for work also), and the list goes on. Many of you signed up for it originally, but I have no way of knowing who is using it regularly. If you start looking at some of these amazing resources, you will discover just how valuable they can be. One of our members on Sunday shared with Pastor Paul that they had been looking for more resources for Bible study. They logged onto RightNow Media and found some great stuff. Take some time, check it out, and find the treasure that can be found.
