 Send the Gospel to the Ends of the Earth Without Leaving Home
  Build a Shoebox Online

Shoebox gifts built online go to the ends of the earth to children in some of the hardest-to-reach places—whether deep jungles, city slums, steep mountainsides, or one of 1,000 remote Pacific islands. Many of these areas are resistant to the Gospel, for cultural or religious reasons, and are home to numerous unreached people groups, some of whom have never heard the Name of Jesus Christ.
 
When you Build a Shoebox Online, it provides believers in remote regions a creative way to share the Good News in a culturally sensitive manner. Online boxes are carefully prepared, abiding by strict customs regulations to safeguard partners who will deliver the gifts, as well as the boys and girls who receive them. Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19). Help fulfill the Great Commission and take the Gospel to the ends of the earth by building a shoebox online today!
 
Maris has created a RCC Build a Shoebox Online page that will add your “online shoebox” to our RCC total of shoeboxes packed this year. It only costs $25 to pack a shoebox online and is an easy way to participate without leaving home!  

It will be so good to gather at Loy and Kitt Watley's on Saturday, November 4, to catch up and swap books. Oh, and cheer on the FB Huskers when they play the Michigan State Spartans at 11:00am.

A CONVERSATION ON MENTAL HEALTH and SHAME
OCTOBER 24TH, 6:00 PM

All are invited to join us on October 24th, 6PM (doors open at 5:30) for a night focused on how shame and mental illness interact. This can be especially challenging for believers who are afflicted with mental illness or have afflicted loved ones. Navigating this landscape can be tricky. How do we navigate mental health care?  What does the church have to say about it?  How do we rid ourselves of the shame we feel continually hovering around us? We will have a panel of experts here to answer our questions.

Join us as our church family wades into these waters together...we can all learn how to better understand the mental health crisis we may be facing personally or in our families - a crisis we are undeniably facing in our culture. 

Refreshments and childcare provided. Please speak with Michelle Powell or Paul Hakenkamp for more info. You can register for this event and submit your questions for the panel here. You can also email: michelle@rccashland.org.
