Join This Sunday at 9 AM

Sunday, September 1, is a Family Sunday. Holiday weekends can mean a lot more travel than usual, which makes it difficult to accomplish our normal ministries well. So, a few times per year we give our service teams a chance to rest. We call these Family Sundays because there is no child care and we will all be together in one service with all the beautiful chaos that brings. It is a sweet time for us together as a church.

How to Prepare

On Sunday, September 1, Labor Day weekend, we will gather for one service at 9 AM. That means that we will not have a 5 PM service that Sunday. If you’re typically an evening-service attender, grab a cup of coffee and join us in the morning! If you have kids, please bring them!

Here are some things to do to prepare for this upcoming RHC Family Worship service:

  • Pray. Take some time during your commute to church to pray. Pray for our pastors and leaders as well as all the people that will be coming that day. Ask God to unite us together as a family and help us grow in our worship of Him.

  • Get Ready. There will be plenty of things that will be different at this service, some you may like and some you may not. Be ready for some a different experience but be ready to dive in and be a part of it. Get there early so that you can connect with others, find a seat, and prepare your heart and mind to receive from God.

  • Be the Family. Look for areas to actively participate in service. Meet new people. Sit together and up front with Community Group or with your family and kids. Help in an area where you see a need. Hold someone’s kids if you don’t have kids yourself. Encourage one another. Pray with those who you know have needs or are struggling.

These patterns are formative and fun for our church. It will help us center on Jesus as the most important aspect of gathering together on Sunday and it will give us perspective and opportunity to be the family that God has made us to be. We are excited for you to join is for RHC Family Sunday on September 1!
