Weekly Newsletter
This is a weekly publication that will keep you up to date about everything happening at RLC.
New Wednesday Night Study
WE ALL EXPERIENCE CONFLICT. It's usually not the big blow up— but more like the tense conversation around the breakfast table or the difficulties with an angry neighbor, an overbearing boss, or a moody teenager. Or perhaps you haven't spoken with an extended family member for years.
Water Baptism Service
Everyone who has surrendered their life to Jesus must be water baptized according to scripture.
You will have an opportunity on Sunday, April 28, during our Sunday morning service.

BAIT OF SATAN Study
NEW WEDNESDAY NIGHT STUDY - Starting February 7
The Bait of Satan exposes one of the most deceptive snares Satan uses to get believers out of the will of God--offense. Most people who are ensnared by the bait of Satan don't even realize it. John Bevere shows you how to stay free from offense and escape the victim mentality. As a book ‘The Bait of Satan’ has nearly one million copies in print! Also, this series includes testimonials of transformed people whose lives have been changed by this message. You will find answers to tough questions like these: Why am I compelled to tell "my side" of the story? How can I fight thoughts of suspicion or distrust? What can I do to stop rehearsing past hurts? How can I regain trust after someone deeply offends me?
Christmas Eve Service
