Announcement of Ministries for 12/13/2020
There are a number of ministries getting started, service opportunities, and other things you should be aware of. Some of them are listed below. Of course, Realm is the best way to stay informed of what’s happening in the church and in your various groups. You can sign up at https://onrealm.org/rlc.
FAMILY MEETING & SOCIALLY-DISTANCED PIE SOCIAL | On Sunday, December 13th at 3 PM, we are gathering at socially-distanced tables to enjoy pre-boxed pies and socialize safely. In addition, we are voting on our 2021 Budget.
BUDGET DISCUSSION MEETING | At the point when it’s time to vote on the 2021 budget proposal, we won’t have much discussion. If you are a voting member/participant during this unification transition, you should have received an email and a copy of the proposal. For those who would like to ask questions and discuss the 2021 budget proposal in greater detail than sending email questions, you may contact Pastor Bryan or join us at a budget discussion meeting prior to the family-meeting. We’ll be in the Fellowship Hall at 2 PM on Sunday afternoon.
FIRST RESPONDER THANK YOU CARDS | As we continue to put together our (store-bought) cookie gifts for our community first responders, we need your stack of 12 completed thank you notes. These are due by the end of our family meeting on the 13th. There are tables set up in the sanctuary, so if you forgot, you can still grab thank you cards at the community desk and write notes during the service or at the family meeting. Please see Pastor Mike if you have questions or need to turn in your thank you cards.
EVE OF EVE | Our Eve of Eve service is December 23rd, at 7 PM. We’ll continue to practice COVID safety protocols for this special worship service, and we’ll keep it limited to one hour. We’ll sing, hear from God’s Word, and worship our Lord. Please feel free to invite your friends.
SUNDAY MORNING FELLOWSHIP GROUPS | Looking to join a Fellowship Group? We have three that meet at 9:45 AM on Sunday mornings. Come visit them or talk with Josiah Walker to learn more.
SERMON PODCAST & LIVE STREAM | In the event that you miss a Sunday sermon because you are serving, sick, or otherwise unable to be with us for the service all-together, you can always find the live-stream, full service videos, sermon videos, and audio recordings on our website at www.RedeemingLifeUtah.org. We also live-stream to Facebook and YouTube at 11 AM.
NEED PRAYER? | Do you have a prayer request and would like our pastoral staff to pray for you? You may email your prayer requests to Prayer@RedeemingLifeUtah.org or text (385) 368-6665.
LOTTIE MOON OFFERING | If you would like to make a donation to support the work of the International Mission Board mission work overseas, you may write your check to Redeeming Life Church and include “IMB” or “Lottie Moon Christmas Offering” in the memo line or give online and put “IMB” or “Lottie Moon Christmas Offering” in the note. If you’d like to make a tax-deductible donation on Realm, select the SBC Mission Offerings drop-down choice. Or you may text "RLC SBC $" and the amount (following the $) to 73256. (Lottie Moon was a brave woman who served as an SBC missionary to China for over 40 years. This offering is named after her.)
QUESTIONS ABOUT FOLLOWING JESUS? | If you have questions about what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ, we would like to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Pastors and ministry staff, a Fellowship Group leader, a Worship Team leader, or other Redeeming Life member to discuss what it means to be a Christian. We’d love to try to answer any questions you might have and pray with you.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING | Thank you for your faithful giving on Sunday, by mail, text giving, and on Realm. Your faithfulness keeps our ministry serving the Kingdom. Thank you!
REALM | We use an online medium called Realm to stay informed and connected throughout the week. You can join groups that offer much more in your Christian journey. There’s a group for prayer requests, another for more Biblical study. There are fellowship groups and community connection groups. There’s also an app for easy mobile use. If you are not yet on Realm, you can sign up at https://onrealm.org/rlc.
STRUGGLING? | If you are struggling under the weight of life’s circumstances, sin, or spiritual attack, you don’t have to go through it alone. God’s Church is his family and we are here to help. If you are struggling, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your Fellowship Group Leader, another Covenant Member, Pastor Mike, Pastor Bryan, Pastor Robbie, or Josiah. We will pray with you, walk alongside you, set up a time for Pastoral care or formal counseling. You are not alone.
YOUVERSION BIBLE APP | Do you use the YouVersion Bible App? Did you know Redeeming Life provides and Event with Scriptures and other information so you can follow along with the sermon? You can even save it during our service time and come back to it later. Find our Event in the YouVersion Bible App.
TEXT GIVING | If you would like to worship through faithful giving and use text messaging to do it, send “RLC $(insert desired amount)” to 73256. The system will send you a secure link to complete your transaction and send you a giving receipt. (This will also allow your donation to be tracked in our system so we can provide you with tax info in January.)
CSB BIBLE TRANSLATION | While we love many Bible translations at Redeeming Life Church, officially, we preach out of the Christian Standard Bible (CSV) most of the time.It’s not that we think this translation is perfect or the best, but that we settled on a specific translation, so you could bring a Bible and follow along if that’s your preference.We also like both the CSB Study Bible and the ESV Study Bible, although we don’t argue that either are perfect.
