Announcements:

• Focal Point – Join us following the worship service on September 13 for our kickoff to the fall season! This year, RRC will provide all food and drinks - you just show up! Games/activities for kids will be available, but you are welcome to bring your own yard games for youth/adults. If you can help with setup Sunday morning, please see Jim Verburg.

• Flu Clinic – Sunday, October 4, 11:15-12:15 (following worship)

• Youth Service Project Help Needed – Our youth could use a few extra helping hands with a couple of upcoming service projects! On Saturday, September 19, we will meet at the church at 10:00am and then head out to work on the landscaping at the Feikema home. We will also be helping with landscaping at the Dulyea home that day, so the more hands we have, the better! If you would like to come alongside our youth and help with these projects, please email Jessica at jessica@rockfordrc.org. Feel free to bring any landscaping tools you have available, such as rakes, shovels, hedge trimmers, and other yard and landscaping tools. Thank you for helping our students put their faith into action by serving members of our church family.

• Rooted & Ready: Deep Discipleship through the New City Catechism
  One of our Focal Point options for adults
  The gospel is glorious – but we need more than excitement, we need understanding. The New City Catechism helps connect the truths of scripture to faith that can be confessed, defended, prayed, and lived. Doctrine is not merely information to master, it is the pathway to deeper fellowship, greater joy in God, and faithful participation in His mission. Join Abigail Afman, Beth Triezenberg, and Shaun Moore in an 8-week course to learn the catechism starting this fall. Sign-up by September 13th. Space is limited. More information and a commitment form are available here. There are also paper signup forms in the Fellowship Lobby.
