This Week


Next Week (August 17): Youth Sunday – Join us next Sunday for a Youth-led worship service! The Youth Group will be assisting with worship, greeting, and even collecting the offering. In addition to sharing testimonies from their recent mission trip, several students will be preparing and delivering short messages centered on “The Servant’s Path”— exploring what it means to follow Jesus by being His compassionate hands and feet in a world deeply in need. Come and worship with us as we celebrate God’s work in our youth and through our youth!


Youth Group Bonfire – August 17, 4–8pm – To cap off Youth Sunday, all incoming 6th-12th grade students are invited to a Youth Group Bonfire at the Muellers’ home from 4–8pm. Come enjoy food, games, a bonfire, and even some time in the pool—just don’t forget your swimsuit and towel! Please RSVP by emailing Tim at tim.v@rockfordrc.org. We’d love to see your student there! 


New Song: There Is One Gospel – We’re learning this rich anthem together over the next few Sundays (pre-service song). Feel free to listen, reflect, and sing along as you feel ready.


Single Ladies Lunch – Next meeting is Saturday, September 6, 1pm: lunch at church for a Salad Buffet with games to follow. Please RSVP to Wilma Nelson.


Women's Tuesday Bible Study – The Women's Tuesday Bible Study resumes September 2 with a study on Discerning The Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer. More information will be sent out soon!

  • Youth Group Bible Study

    Wednesdays — June 18, 25; July 9, 16, 30; August 6, 13, 20, 9-10am. For whoever is interested, we will be meeting for a relaxed, hour-long Bible study focused on growing in the skills needed to read and understand God’s Word. Each week we’ll look at a different passage and ask questions like: What does it say? How does it reveal Jesus? How does it connect to the rest of Scripture? What does it mean for me? Students will spend time prayerfully reading and reflecting on the passage before coming together to discuss what we’ve learned. This isn’t a deep dive into one book—it’s about building a toolkit to help students confidently approach any passage of Scripture on their own and apply it to life.

  • Women's Summer Luncheons

    June 10, July 8, and August 12, 11:30am. Attention RRC women and friends! Mark your calendars for any or all of 3 Summer Luncheons hosted by the RRC Women’s Bible Study Group. It will be a time of fun and fellowship! We will meet at 11:30am on the second Tuesday of each month at the Boulder Creek Golf Club (separate checks). 5750 Brewer Ave NE, Belmont. RSVP to Jen Klaasen (jenklaasen@hotmail.com).

  • Night of Prayer & Worship

    Friday, September 5, 6:30pm. Come join us for an evening of prayer, worship, and reflection as we seek the Lord together. Through Scripture, song, and stillness, we’ll lift our prayers like incense (Psalm 141:2) and join in the spirit of the early church—gathering with sincere hearts and praising God (Acts 2:46–47). Prayer partners will be available throughout the evening, and quiet spaces will be set up in the fellowship lobby for anyone who needs to sit, reflect, or ask for prayer. Childcare and prayer-centered activities will be available for young children. Whether you come with words or silence, with joy or weariness—you are welcome here. Any questions or if you’d like to volunteer to help see Nick Verburg or Rob Yamamoto.
