RCC FAMILY THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION

We will have one service at 10:45am Sunday, November 24th, with a family meal of ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, and all the fixings! Stop by the Welcome Desk this Sunday or click here to sign up to bring turkey, ham, or mashed potatoes - many spots are still available for these items.  Everyone else please bring a side dish or dessert. 

"We are so grateful to be together this day to celebrate Anthony and wish he and his family God's very best!!"

Tuesday, November 5th is an important day for Nebraska and for the United States of America. As a church, we want to gather together and spend some time praying for our state and nation on Sunday, November 3rd from 6:30-7:30pm in the RCC auditorium. Ultimately, we pray for His will to be done on this part of the earth as it is in Heaven, but we will also intercede for the lost and cry out for the causes that break our hearts. Anxieties over the future are natural, so come join your brothers and sisters in a guided hour of prayer and be encouraged in that gathering and in the sovereignty of God.

Join us for some delicious chili & amazing cinnamon rolls as we celebrate fall at our annual Harvest Party! 
 Be sure to invite your friends and neighbors! 
Stop by the Welcome Desk Sunday to sign up to bring chili or any of the fixings and also if you would like to help serve!

 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. 

Have you been attending Riverview for a while now? Does RCC feel like your church home? Or are you interested in learning more about our church doctrine and structure? Consider attending RCC's next membership class after second service on October 29th to learn more about who we are, what we believe and how you can become a member. If you'd like to attend email us at info@rccashland.org.

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.

Guys, you won't want to miss the next Men's Intersection! Stop by the Welcome Desk to let them know you will be here and maybe sign up to help with the meal. 

We will eat awesome chili & amazing cinnamon rolls to celebrate fall at our annual Harvest Party! Sign up to serve and to bring chili or the fixings here. or at the Welcome Desk on Sunday.
