It’s coming Soon!
Every year it seems like Daylight savings time sneaks up on me.
Then, the night of daylight savings I’m checking my phone and backup plan always worried I’ll over sleep. That doesn’t really make sense because you actually gain an hour this time of year but I digress.
Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour this Saturday night and enjoy the extra hour of sleep.
Consider yourself informed.
A Letter to RLC>>>
Hello RLC! Still celebrating our great weekend yesterday and the two people who gave their lives to Christ!!!! It’s such an honor for God to trust us and send people who need Him in our direction. You’re making a difference RLC.
1. Friending End. This has already become one of the most talked about series of the year. You show me your friends and I’ll show you your future. To view the message notes and listen to each message, click here. Don’t forget. You might be one God-honoring friendship away from changing the trajectory of your life.
You also might be in a season of redefining some relationships. Who needs to be in your “close friends” list? Who needs to be in your “friends” list? Who needs to have their voice silenced from your feed for now and redefine that relationship? Have the courage to take some steps forward this week.
2. Work opportunities for the RLC | RENOVATION. Click this link to head over to the RLC | RENOVATION BLOG and view more info. This week’s renovation schedule is:
MONDAY- 6:00pm to 8:00pm
WEDNESDAY- 6:00pm to 8:00pm

3. Thanksgiving Brunch. As of now, we’re planning on having our first ever RLC | THANKSGIVING BRUNCH on November 23rd immediately following our worship experience. Be on the look out for upcoming information.
4. NEW SERIES: AT THE MOVIES. This is something we look forward to all year long. This year is going to be the best one yet.
5. The work this past week at RLC. The below video was taken from the RLC | RENOVATION BLOG. It shows some of the progress made so far.
That’s all for now. Can’t wait to see you all this week an a RENOVATION work event and this Sunday. It’s going to be a great week.
Music to This Pastor’s Ears…
During this renovation/expansion process at RLC there have been so many things to be thankful for. It seems like everyday a new and different hurdle arises and God has given us the grace to overcome every one of them. In the middle of all this there has been one thing which has especially been a blessing. More and more I’ve been hearing people use the phrase “MY CHURCH”.
You know, you don’t really hear that very often these days. People will say my team, my job, my family, my spouse, or my kids. However, you seldom hear people say “my church” unless they are referring to a church they use to attend and say “my old church”.
When we first launched RLC over two years ago, most people would say “Your church” as if they were just guests even if they had attended for months. That’s fine but as a pastor I long for people to not just be attenders but VISION CARRIERS in what God has called RLC to do. It’s been such a blessing to hear more and more people ascribe RLC as not simply a church they attend but THEIR CHURCH. A place where they have decided to invest their lives and see the Kingdom of God grow. That is a huge blessing.
Just wanted to share my thankfulness today. Thank you everyone. It’s an honor to be your pastor.
A Letter to RLC>>>
Well HELLOOOOOOO RLC!
What a great weekend we had! It was awesome. When I look back and see all God has done then look ahead to see what He’s doing, I’m speechless. It’s great to be on this journey together and I love being your pastor! Here are a few things to share with you as we move forward.
1. Series: Friending- Part 2. What if you were ONE FRIEND AWAY from really experiencing some amazing community in your life? If there’s one thing we can all agree on it this… life is better together. Yes, there’s a great chance of experiencing pain and heartache because you’re investing in other people. However, the risk is always worth it.
It’s a standard in God’s Kingdom that there is potential in you which will never be brought out unless it’s drawn out by someone else. You could be one friend away from setting out on the road toward everything God has created you to be.
To listen to the message from this past Sunday or any other in this series, check them out on the RLC website here.
2. RLC | RENOVATION VIDEO. This past Sunday we met many of you to lay out our renovation plan. We had so much fun. We’re going to be posting a video recap very soon. Be sure to visit my blog later today to watch.
3. NEXT RENOVATION WORK OPPORTUNITY. This Thursday Night (October 16th) at 6:00pm we’re converging at RLC to get more accomplished! There will be several things to do some come ready to have a lot of fun and get a little done too.
4. RLC | DRESS DOWN DEMO DAY. This coming Sunday is your chance to take part in all that’s going on at RLC. We’re calling it DRESS DOWN DEMO DAY. Immediately following the worship experience we’re going to head back and demolish some walls to widen our KidsLife area and create a new hallway! It’s going to be a lot of fun and a great time of community. You’re invited. Check out the video above to get all the details.
4. RLC | AT THE MOVIES. Beginning in two weeks will be our annual “RLC | AT THE MOVIES”. I’m always really excited about this 4 week series. By the time it’s complete, the holiday season will be upon us. Wow. It’s coming up so fast. Make plans now to be at every part of this series as well bring your friends who love movies.
Stay awesome!
