Unfiltered is a new small group that will meet on Sunday mornings at 9:00am beginning January 5th. The lessons will be on putting the Bible into its historical and cultural context beginning with a study of Genesis 1 and the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem.  This small group is being led by our very own Mark Rauch, a recent grad of Ohio Christian University!

PRAYER We will meet on the first Sunday of the month at 5 p.m. and Tuesdays at 9 a.m. to pray for our country, leaders, families and any other needs you may have while giving praise and thanks to our Heavenly Father.

Come to RiverSong Saturday at 8am, hungry for a delicious breakfast and a powerful time of ministry to one another. See Pastor Mike if you have any questions.

Our annual Seder meal is coming up at RSC on Tuesday, April 15th at 6pm. As Christians, we want to deliberately pass our faith from one generation to the next, and celebrating the Seder (Passover) meal is one excellent way to do this. We want to encourage parents and grandparents alike to join us in preparing and experiencing this wonderful event. This is a Jewish ceremony that focuses on the children – our next generation. You can register to attend online by clicking on the photo above or here. See Pastor Mike if you have any questions.

What is Tenebrae? The word Tenebrae is Latin for “shadows” or “darkness”. The Tenebrae Service is an ancient tradition in Christian history that generally is celebrated on Good Friday. The purpose is to reflect on the somber events that occurred in Jesus’ life from the exuberant entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday through the night of Jesus’ burial on Good Friday. It is a powerful remembrance to prepare our hearts for the glory of Resurrection Sunday. Mark your calendars for the this very special service for Friday, April 18th at 7pm.

Why get baptized? It must first come out of a desire to obey Jesus and a passion to be unashamedly identified with Him. “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38). The Christian faith has never been designed to be private. It is designed to be declared and lived out in public. Baptism is a declaration that your old sin nature is dead and you are now living in resurrection life and power through Jesus Christ. Call the church office at (937) 322-9673 or see Pastor Jim/Mike if you are interested in getting baptized or pick up a brochure on the back table for more information.
