Capital Campaign Update

As of Nov 24, 2010 our capital campaign has raised $2,614.76 through the sales of bricks and t-shirts.

You can now order your engraved brick online at: https://www.bricksrus.com/order/rmcc/index.php

With the theme “Church on the Move” this capital campaign will help build a fellowship hall serving as a mission outpost in order for us to continue being the hands, heart, feet and soul of God’s love within our community and beyond.

Many of us have benefited from our association with Reconciliation MCC and by supporting the capital campaign we have the opportunity to give something back.

Thank you for your generous support.

May God's blessings continue to rain down upon you.

Vision Planning Session / Part 2

During our retreat in October all that were present were asked to form think tanks. In these think tanks each group was asked, where do you see RMCC going and how do you think we will get there?

The purpose was to come together to dream dreams, to think about future plans for the church, and to imagine where you wanted to see RMCC in five, ten perhaps even twenty years in the future.

This Sunday at 12:30 you are invited to participate in the next step of forming our vision statement.

We will group like ideas together – pick out important points – list some positive words – Then we will break down into small groups, select important words and combine them into one sentence. This will more than likely be the beginning of our vision statement.

Hope to see you there!

New Bible Studies at RMCC!

RMCC will be holding 3 bible studies for Advent!

Advent (from the Latin word adventus meaning "coming") is a season observed in many Western Christian churches, a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. It is the beginning of the Western liturgical year and commences on Advent Sunday, November 28, 2010.

Along with the new church year, RMCC will be holding new bible studies to walk through this 4 week season of Advent.

The first one will kick off our Adult Bible Study led by Karen Tompkins.

This study begins on Sunday morning, November 28, 2010 at 9:00 downstairs in our fellowship hall.

Evening bible study groups led by Pastor Steph will be held on:

Tuesday nights from November 30th – December 21st at the church from 6:45PM – 8:45 PM and;

Wednesday nights from November 31st – December 22nd at 4032 Woodland Creek Dr. SE, Apt 102 in Kentwood MI. from 6:30PM – 8:30PM

The Tuesday and Wednesday night groups will journey through Advent with the book “The Shepherds Prayer”: A Christmas Novel by Richard M. Barry. If you purchase this book through Amazon.com, please remember to search for it on our blog as this is a continuous fundraiser for RMCC and we could receive up to 15% for every order placed.

All are welcome and invited to attend any group or a combination of Sunday and evening studies.

Day 4: Preparing for Vision/Mission Kickoff Retreat

We have spent the entire week preparing our bodies, minds and souls for the Vision/Mission Retreat Kick off.

On Monday everyone was asked to light a candle and pray.

Tuesday we were asked to take time out to remember where RMCC has been. Remember the leaders and pastors that have come and gone before us. Remember the ministry we have done and what we are currently doing Take time out to give thanks to fellow servants.

Wednesday we were asked to participate in a prayer walk where we took time to walk around the church or sit in the church sanctuary lifting up RMCC, praying that God will guide us and direct us as we continue to listen to the small still voice of the great I AM and where he is calling RMCC to be.

Today - Join us for a discussion between 7 and 8 PM to share in thoughts or prayers on RMCC’s blog at: http://www.reconciliationmccgrandrapidsmichigan.blogspot.com/

This discussion is a place for you to ask questions and to share your excitement, prayers, and dreams.
