  We will meet on January 31 in the Lower Fireside Room (basement area with the new fireplace). Join us for pizza and games at 1pm. RSVP to Wilma Nelson.
• Focal Point, Youth Group, and KidLife Club start back up tonight.
  Join us for a new Focal Point class called Understanding God’s Word, based on the book, Understanding God's Word: An Introduction to Interpreting the Bible by Jon Nielsen. One of the greatest barriers for the Bible to become a solid foundation and source of our joy in God is a lack of knowledge and confidence in wisely reading, interpreting, and applying it. And so, using the lectures, the book, and referring to my morning sermons, we will learn some tools or principles so that we are equipped for our own fruitful study and leading others toward the same. These tools are designed to help us read carefully and in context, identify core themes and main points, discover Christ in each passage, and respond faithfully within our own lives. This is a seven-lesson series that makes biblical interpretation clear, meaningful, and practical.
• If you do not have email or prefer paper versions of emails, please let Laura know and she will place a copy of the non-bulletin information sent out in your folder (things like the weekly prayer email, notes from Pastor Tim, etc).
• We are excited to announce a new Youth Group fundraiser!
  We are partnering with a local company to produce t-shirts that we designed, and we hope you’ll love the design and want to purchase one. The more shirts we sell, the more money we can raise for our Youth Group. All funds raised will help offset the costs of future retreats, mission trips, and other youth group activities. The shirts will be $15 each. To order, you can fill out the T-shirt order form or click here to order online. All order forms need to be submitted by January 31, and payment needs to be turned in by March 1. Payments can be given directly to Tim VanderZwaag. Checks should be made out to RRC Youth Ministry with "t-shirt" in the subject line, or cash is also accepted. Thank you so much for supporting the Youth Group! We’ll continue to keep you updated throughout the t-shirt process.
• Save the date for another youth group fundraiser
  Saturday, February 7 at 5:30pm, come to RRC for a restaurant style dinner served by the youth. Childcare provided if needed. Watch for more info in the coming week.
