Announcement of Ministries 8/13/23
PREPARING FOR THE LORD’S DAY | As you anticipate our worship gathering on the Lord’s Day, consider praying for our service, reading the text for the sermon, and preparing your heart and mind for worship with the Body of Christ. We’ll be singing The Great Exchange, The Everlasting Love of God, Only A Holy God, and Christ Our Hope In Life and Death. We will also be continuing our series “Put On Christ” this Sunday as Pastor Bryan delivers a message centered on John 13:31-35.
SENIOR LUNCHEON | The next Senior Luncheon is scheduled for Monday, August 14th, at 11:30am in the RLC Fellowship Hall. The food is provided, and we’ll be writing messages of encouragement to those who are shut-ins or recovering from illness. Please join us for fellowship and fun and bring a friend. Please RSVP on Realm or sign up in the lobby so we get a good count for the food.
PIZZA WITH THE PASTORS | Are you new to Redeeming Life Church? Do you have questions? Join our pastors for lunch, conversation, and story sharing. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our church and get to know our staff. Our next Pizza with the Pastors is August 27th, following the Sunday morning service, at the church building. If you’re interested, please let Pastor Bryan or Pastor Josiah know so we can be sure to have lunch for you!
CHILDREN TAG NUMBER | Parents, when you check your child into children’s ministry, you get two tags. The one with your child’s name goes on your child. The other tag has a unique code that matches the code on your child’s tag. It is extremely important that you safeguard this tag. You will need that tag to have your child released back to you after the service. And if a diaper needs changes or there’s some other reason you are needed, we use that tag to notify you that your assistance is needed. That’s an important tag!
TEXT GIVING | If you would like to worship through faithful giving and use text messaging to do it, send “RLC” to 73256 for a form you can use from your phone. You will promptly receive a response with instructions and a secure link to follow. The system will send you a secure link to complete your transaction and send you a giving receipt. This will also allow your donation to be tracked in our system so we can provide you with tax info in January.
ACTS 11 FUND | In Acts 11, the church in Antioch took up an offering to help the brothers and sisters in the church in Jerusalem. A famine hit the community and they were struggling. We use our “Acts 11 Fund” to help brothers and sisters in need. Right now, our fund is low. If you would like to donate to the Acts 11 Fund, log into your Realm account and select the giving tab. Select the Acts 11 Fund in the dropdown options. If you’re not a Realm user, you may visit https://onrealm.org/rlc/give/now. You may also give my check or cash in a marked envelope. Be sure to indicate “Acts 11” on the memo line. We appreciate your faithful giving.
REALM | We use an online medium called Realm to stay informed and connected throughout the week. You can join groups that offer much more in your Christian journey. There’s a group for prayer requests, another for more Biblical study. There are fellowship groups and community connection groups. There’s also an app for easy mobile use. If you are not yet on Realm, you can sign up at https://onrealm.org/rlc. If you sign up through the App, the “Invitation Code” is “rlc”.
SERMON PODCAST & LIVE STREAM | In the event that you miss a Sunday sermon because you are serving, sick, or otherwise unable to be with us for the service all-together, you can always find the live-stream, full-service videos, sermon videos, and audio recordings on our website at www.RedeemingLifeUtah.org. We also live-stream on YouTube at 11 AM.
WHO ARE WE? | We are a church that hopes to see our community redeemed by the power of the gospel. Redeeming Life Church exists to know, live, and proclaim the gospel. We believe the God’s Word from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 is the inerrant story of the redemptive history of God—otherwise known as the gospel. To be people who are immersed in knowing, living, and proclaiming the gospel, we read, pray, sing, and preach God’s word.
STRUGGLING? | If you are struggling under the weight of life’s circumstances, sin, or spiritual attack, you don’t have to go through it alone. God’s Church is his family, and we are here to help. If you are struggling, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your Fellowship Group Leader, another Covenant Member, or one of our Pastors. We will pray with you, walk alongside you, set up a time for Pastoral care or formal counseling. You are not alone.
