This Week with Richland
We invite you to join us for fellowship and worship. This coming Sunday morning, March 26, 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 tuning in to 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 Drake will continue our sermon series through Acts (Gospel. Family. Mission.). This week he will be preaching on “The Cost of Our Purpose” (Acts 6:8-8:3).
If you are unable to join us in person, you can watch online via our Facebook page. Of course, we do not consider viewing online to be a replacement for gathering with the body of Christ for worship and fellowship, but we understand that some people are simply unable to gather in person due to sickness, travel, or other circumstances. Thus, we are making these options available to serve those individuals.
Here is the rundown of our schedule for this week…
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22
5:45 p.m. = Evening Meal
–Our Wednesday evening meal is year-round and is an excellent time of fellowship and encouragement. Everyone is invited to join us for great food and fun together.
6:30 p.m. = Adults’ Bible Study Fellowship / 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’ Bible study fellowship (from 6:30 – 7:25), 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).
SATURDAY, MARCH 25
8:00 – 9:00 a.m. = Men’s and Women’s Fellowships
–The women and men each have separate fellowship gatherings on Saturday mornings from 8-9. You are welcome to come and go as you are able. The women meet in the fellowship hall, and the men meet in the prayer chapel (Carson’s Family Group’s room). Invite others and join us for free coffee (or tea and/or lemonade) and snacks.
9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. = D3 Training Event
SUNDAY, MARCH 26
9:00 a.m. = Prayer Gathering
–Our weekly prayer gathering is a time to pray specifically for our church, our community, our country, and the advancement of the gospel to the world. Everyone is invited to join us, and we do not have other activities during this 15-minute time of prayer, including nursery or children’s activities, as we want all ages to join us and see the value, importance, and power of intentional corporate prayer.
9:30 a.m. = Family Groups (aka Sunday School)
–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. = Worship Celebration
–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.
12:00 p.m. = Baby Shower for Nate and Katie Bloss
4:00 p.m. = Deacons’ Meeting
