I have been crucified

with Christ and

I no longer live,

but Christ lives in me.

The life I now live

in the body,

I live by faith

in the Son of God,

who loved me and gave

himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

What is Communion about?

Read 1 Corinthians 11:23-29

Communion symbolically connects us to the body

and blood of Jesus Christ. Christ, in the flesh,

died for our eternal salvation and rose again to

bring victory to our lives. Christ’s blood had the

power to raise Jesus from the dead and covers

every sin you have.

Who may partake of Communion?

Anyone who has asked God into their lives and

who has asked forgiveness for their sin.

New group forming to help fight

Human Trafficking

The only group in Berks County that has been

working to fight Human Trafficking in our area is

disbanding due to lack of leadership. A few of us

from RCF have met to discuss forming a new

group. We will be attending a special reception

sponsored by the North Star Initiative of Lancas-

ter to see if we can determine what that group is

doing and how they may be able to help us get

something started in Berks County. If you would

be interested in joining this fight, see Lisa.
