Each Wednesday evening, our church has activities for all ages, including supper at 5:45 and prayer meeting and Bible study for adults. Last Wednesday, we finished (for the time-being) Ask the Pastor during our adults’ Bible study time.

Do you have questions about the Bible, faith, church, family, ministry, etc. that you would like to ask Pastor Nick? If so, let us know HERE, as we will resume Ask the Pastor at a later date.

Starting this Wednesday, though, we will be discussing the “Fear of Man.” What does it mean to fear man, and how can we live our lives fearing God, rather than being consumed with a fear of what others might think about us?

If you have been unable to join us on Wednesday evenings, we invite you to listen to the summaries of  Nick’s responses to the Ask the Pastor questions submitted to him. These are available on the free MyRichland App, or you can listen to any of our previous episodes by clicking the appropriate links below.

Please mark your calendars for our annual fall festival, which will be held at our church facilities on Sunday, October 28^th from 4-7 p.m. As always, this event includes supper, games, the bounce house, popcorn, a bonfire, a hayride and more. Also, we have something special planned for this year – our worship team will be playing and singing throughout the evening. Please invite family and friends for this exciting event for all ages.

Something folks in our church and in our community look forward to each year, the fall festival is a great opportunity to fellowship with others, make new friends, enjoy great food and have a lot of fun. Because there is no set program, you can come and go as you please, but the games and activities will start at 4:00, with supper around 5:00 and the last event of the evening, the hayride, starting around 6:00.

We hope to see you on October 28th!

We hope you will join us this coming Sunday and Wednesday (and every Sunday and Wednesday). Below is our weekly lineup.

Sundays:

9:30 a.m. – Family Groups 
–Family groups are Bible study fellowships for all ages – children, youth and adults. Nursery is included for infants and toddlers, too. We consider family groups to be an essential ministry for discipleship and relationships.

10:40 a.m. – Morning Worship Service
–Morning worship is an essential time of growing in God’s Word together. 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. For those who are interested, we also provide nursery (toddlers and infants) and children’s ministry (kindergarten and below) during our morning worship services. Currently, Pastor Nick’s sermon series is “Discipleship 101” from the Gospel of Mark.

6:00 p.m. – Life on Mission
–Life on Mission is our Sunday evening worship service with discussion on how we can apply what we’re learning on Sundays to our daily lives and understand how to better live our lives on mission for God.

Wednesdays:

5:45 p.m. – Evening Meal
–Our Wednesday evening meal is a great time of fellowship and encouragement. Everyone is invited to join us for great food and fun together.

6:30 p.m. – Prayer and Bible Study / TeamKID / Youth Group
–With ministries for all ages (both children and adults), Wednesday evenings provide a great recharge for the middle of the week. The events include our adults’ prayer meeting and Bible study (from 6:30 – 7:30), youth group (from 6:15 – 7:30 for grades 6-12), and TeamKID (from 6:15 – 7:30 for all children who are elementary-aged and below).
