From the Water to the Fire

by Pastor Drew
  
Terry Rinker is on fire! Her life is radically changing. God is getting so much glory from her. Her old life has been forsaken. The waters of baptism formed a grave upon it. She is resurrected and telling everyone she can.        For her baptism service she enlisted our US soldiers all the way in Syria. They watched as she boldly professed Jesus as Lord. No sooner did she dry off then she declared; “I’m going to tell more people about Jesus this afternoon!” she signed up for the evangelism team and has taken a step in service to the youth. “I’m good at Public Relations, I’ll be the RCA PR person!” She has done a great job. Already, in just a few days she has solicited donations and gift cards to help send youth to camp and bless our kids.                From the waters of baptism to the fire of the Spirit we are so thankful for what God is doing in a transformed life 

Plugged In

by Josh Copple

You can only see the light from a lamp if it is plugged in.                                                              It’s been a few months now since I was hired as the Admin for RCA and let me tell you, it has been fun. I have gotten to know so many great people. In particular, the best part is meeting all of the new believers. They are so excited, so on fire and eager to help. I remember that time in my walk. I was going to a church that had everything. It didn’t need my help. Don’t get me wrong, they loved me and were excited for me, but they just were huge, with teams of volunteers and programs in place for everyone and everything. I want to encourage all of you reading this to think about the opportunity you have at RCA. It is a church that is growing, and eager to get you plugged in. If you can do it, we need it!                  One of the biggest tasks I’ve been working on lately is setting up teams to be in place each week. Greeters, ushers, sign holders, technical people, we need it all, and most of it is very simple to do and only has two main requirements, to be at church and to be able to smile.                                                                    If any of you out there are regular attenders and would be willing to give up a little time on Sunday or Saturday, we would love to get you plugged in. Like I said, the best part about this new job is getting to know everyone. I’m confident that you will be saying the same thing in a few weeks after you’ve spent a little time in God’s service at our little church.
