If you have been in a recent Sunday morning service you have heard about a new ministry opportunity called RLA Connect. Beginning October 5th, our Wednesday night Bible Study will have a brand new format. For the last year we have had a lecture format where I have taught on the books of Revelation, Romans, and Philippians, and a series through the Gifts of the Spirit. We are moving away from the lecture presentation to an interactive, small-group format.
When you enter the sanctuary on Wednesday, October 5th, you will find the room set up for small groups. We will begin the evening at 6:45 with a brief time of fellowship. At 7:00 we will move into the study. Our weekly studies will take the message from the previous Sunday and go a little deeper. Each group will have a leader who will help guide the discussion.
The purpose of RLA Connect is fourfold:
1. Assimilation
2. Fellowship
3. Care Network
4. Interactive Study
RLA Connect is a ministry structure that will enable people to more readily integrate into the RLA family. Each group will have monthly fellowship opportunities to encourage the building of relationships. As a small-group, members will have better awareness of the needs of others in the group. And the format of RLA Connect will provide for discussion and participation in the Wednesday night Bible Study.
RLA Connect will work for families, too! On Wednesday nights we have ministries up and running for children nursery – youth. While the adults are enjoying a discussion-based Bible Study in the sanctuary, the children are going to receive loving care and ministry. Since Wednesday night is a school night, and out of consideration for our families and workers, RLA Connect will conclude each week at 8:00pm.
If you have never attended the midweek Bible Study, now is a great time to start! If you are looking for a small-group experience, RLA Connect is for you. So get your Bible and get ready. RLA Connect is coming soon!
