Current Schedule
We invite you to join us again on Wednesday for supper and activities for all ages, as well as Sunday morning for family groups and worship. This coming Sunday, December 6, as usual, you will have the option of joining us in the worship center, sitting in the fellowship hall (overflow for those who prefer more space), or remaining in your vehicle (and tuned in to 91.1 FM or Facebook Live). Come and worship with us through song, prayer, giving, and the preaching of God’s Word.
Some members of our praise team will lead us in worship through song, and Pastor Nick will continue A Season of Preparation, preaching from Mark 1:1-8 (“Preparation Is Repentance”).
Please note that, for the health and safety of those in attendance, we will still ask that people practice social distancing. While masks are not required, they are recommended for the sake of protecting those who are more vulnerable because of health problems (and to make them more comfortable gathering with us).
If you are more comfortable, as mentioned above, you can remain in your vehicle and tune in to 91.1 FM (beginning at 10:40 a.m.) or watch online via our Facebook page. Of course, we do not consider viewing online or listening from your vehicle to be a replacement for gathering with the body of Christ for worship and fellowship, but we understand that during this COVID-19 pandemic, some are simply unable to gather in larger groups. Thus, we are making these options available right now to serve those individuals.
Here is the rundown of our schedule for this week…

It’s that time of the week when most of our church family is all together for the purpose of worshiping our Lord and building up His body.

6:00 p.m. – Prayer & Praise Service // Youth Discipleship Bible Study
–Prayer & Praise is our Sunday evening worship service when we gather to praise our God, pray for our church family, community, nation, and the world, and talk about how we can better live our lives on mission throughout each day. Also, the Richland Youth (grades 6-12) meet during this hour for their discipleship Bible study.
