On Sunday morning, August 2, 2020, we will begin a 3-week sermon series called The Red and The Blue. Knowing that politics are so divisive, we hope this series encourages you to be politically active, and yet still be charitable toward those who disagree with you. Jesus Christ is our ultimate authority, and if we follow Him, we will desire to do what is right and live peacefully among our brothers and sisters. Instead of being a slave to politics, we should live as servants to the One True King.

Here is the schedule of messages for this series…

Sunday, August 2 – Carson Humphreys preaching from Titus 3:1-8 (“Be Political without Being a Jerk”)

Sunday, August 9 – Nick Drake preaching from Psalm 146:1-10 (“Don’t Make Politics Your Idol”)

Sunday, August 16 – Nick Drake preaching from 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 (“Unity in Jesus, Not in Politics”)

We hope to see you Sunday morning at 9:30 for Family Groups (aka Sunday School) and 10:40 for our worship celebration. If you have any questions, needs, or prayer requests, please let us know.

We invite you to join us again on Sunday morning at 10:40 for a 45-minute outdoor worship celebration. You will have the option of sitting in the shade on lawn chairs and/or blankets, or remaining in your vehicle – whatever you are most comfortable doing. You also have the option of sitting inside and tuning in via live stream. Come and worship with us through song, prayer, and the preaching of God’s Word.

Family Groups (aka Sunday School classes) for all ages (including children grades K and up) are also meeting at 9:30 a.m., although nursery (for children under grade K) is still suspended because of COVID-19 precautions. Still, all children are welcome and encouraged to attend all services with their parents/guardians.

The outdoor worship celebrations will continue to take place on the west side of the church building (in front of the parsonage). This allows for lots of shaded ground for people to sit outside, as well as still offer plenty of parking for those who wish to remain in their vehicles during the service. If you plan on sitting outside on your lawn chair, picnic blanket, or a chair provided here, please be sure to park on the east side of the building (in the gravel lot or the lower level) to leave room on the west side for guests and those wishing to stay in their vehicles.

Some members of our praise band will lead us in a few songs, and this is our schedule of messages for the next four weeks.

Sunday, July 26 – Nick Drake preaching from Micah 7 (“Worship the God of Judgment”)

Sunday, August 2 – Carson Humphreys preaching from Titus 3:1-8 (“Be Political without Being a Jerk”)

Sunday, August 9 – Nick Drake preaching from Psalm 146:1-10 (“Don’t Make Politics Your Idol”)

Sunday, August 16 – Nick Drake preaching from 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 (“Unity in Jesus, Not in Politics”)

Please note that, for the health and safety of those in attendance, we will still ask that people practice social distancing (6+ feet). Thus, if you decide to sit outside or inside, please sit with those in your household but socially-distanced from other family units.

If you are more comfortable, you can also simply remain in your vehicle and tune in to 91.1 FM (or listen with your windows open).

In the case of bad weather, we will move the service inside but still provide the option of listening to the service (from the parking lot) in your vehicles if you are uncomfortable being in the building at this time.

The Richland Youth Group continues to meet on Sunday evenings at 6:00 and Wednesday evenings at 7:00. Also, we have our Sunday evening prayer and praise service from 6:00 – 7:00.

Questions? Just let us know.

In the below video, Pastor Nick shares what’s happening this week, followed by a short devotion from Proverbs 13:13-14…

Questions, needs, concerns, and/or prayer requests? Please let us know.

On Sunday morning at 10:40, Lord willing, Pastor Nick will begin a new sermon series – Walk Humbly – through the Old Testament book of Micah. Nick hopes to communicate the truth that God is always in control and is perfect in justice and mercy, so we need to walk in humility before Him and before others.

This is the likely schedule of Sunday morning messages, both from Micah and from some special Sundays, over the next 10 weeks:

Sunday, May 31 – Micah 1 (“Recognize God’s Judgment”)

Sunday, June 7 – Micah 2 (“Accept God’s Judgment”)

Sunday, June 14 – Micah 3 (“Respond Rightly to God’s Judgment”)

Sunday, June 21 – Micah 4 (“Find Hope in God’s Judgment”)

Sunday, June 28 – Gideon Sunday (with Rick Smith)

Sunday, July 5 – Special Message from God’s Word (with Carson Humphreys)

Sunday, July 12 – Micah 5 (“Realize the Rescue from God’s Judgment”)

Sunday, July 19 – Micah 6 (“Prepare for God’s Judgment”)

Sunday, July 26 – Micah 7 (“Worship the God of Judgment”)

Sunday, August 2 – Special Message from God’s Word (with Carson Humphreys)

Here is Pastor Nick’s preview of the series:

Beginning Sunday morning, Pastor Nick will start a new sermon series on remembering the work of the cross. Taking a look at Romans 12-13, Nick will challenge you to consider the gospel’s application to our daily lives (as individuals and as a church family). Paul begins Romans 12 declaring our need to be a united, living sacrifice, applying the impartial, amazing gospel of Jesus Christ explained in Romans 1-11.

The gospel transforms lives, and so we must live in light of this truth every day.

Lord willing, this is Nick’s schedule for the messages in this series:

April 19 – “Living Sacrifice” (Romans 12:1-2)

April 26 – “Living Ethics” (Romans 12:9-14)

May 3 – “Living Unity” (Romans 12:15-16)

May 10 – “Living Good” (Romans 12:17-21)

May 17 – “Living Difference” (Romans 13)

If you have any questions, needs, and/or prayer concerns, please contact us. In the meantime, you can keep up with our daily videos of engagement and encouragement in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic by going to our YouTube channel. Hope to see you online Sunday morning!

Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions and our desire to do our part to prevent the further spread of the virus, we will be meeting online again Sunday morning at 11. While we had hoped to host a drive-in worship service where people could remain in their vehicles, we do not yet have the technology to do such a service well. Perhaps we will in the near future, if/while the current health directives continue.

During our Sunday morning online service, Parker Smiley will lead us in a couple of songs of worship to celebrate our Risen Savior, and Pastor Nick will be preaching on the great reality of our journey “From Death to Life” (1 Peter 1:1-9). What a timely reminder in the midst of this pandemic, that we have everlasting hope when we experience everlasting life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord!

To join us Sunday morning at 11, you can visit us on YouTube or on Facebook.
