Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes....Introducing First Saturdays

Howdy RPC YAs!

There is nothing as Constant as Change, so says the Greek Philosopher Heraclitus. Or if you love 70's-80's glam rockers, Davie Bowie's Changes re-inerates the fact by saying we need to accept change as an inevitable part of life.

So What's Changing?
After listening to your needs and input, we're going to change the way the discussion groups meet. The RPC YA Group is going to start First Saturdays, where  every month the first Saturday we will meet in the Annex Building (Where the RPC office is located) Have a simple meal, and do a study - more centered around  Biblical teaching,  that relate to your life. After the study, you can hang out for a movie or card and board games, or head out on your own adventure. We'll still have separated childcare for those with little ones during the study portion of the evening. We're hoping to get a solid group that really wants to learn, think about, and commit on how their faith works, and affects their everyday life.
 Our first "First Saturday" will be February 6th around 7pm

Also, we'd like to organize some RoadTrips that are "Young Adults Only". We would still be providing babysitting, but it would not be at the venue our RoadTrip is going to. Other Facilitators may lead these outings as well. Any ideas for RoadTrips, let us know.

RPC YAs - Welcome to the New Year!

Howdy RPC YAs! We Want Your Favorite Help Links!
Have a Great Epiphany!
Today, January 6th Marks Epiphany, the coming of the Magi.
Why is this important?
The Epiphany celebrates God's revealing or manifesting of Jesus' identity as true God, Messiah, and Savior of the world. It not only commemorates the fact that Jesus appeared to save us, but that God revealed the identity of Jesus to the world. The Magi - or Wise Men - Came to present gifts to the new King. They represented not Jerusalem, not the Jews, but the whole World. It shows that Jesus is Lord for all. And then the Magi did what we all should be doing. They didn't just hang out with Christ and stop their journey there. They continued - back to their homelands, and along the way - let everyone know of Christ the King. Listen to Pastor Bronc's Sermon Taking the Next Leap to ponder how this is important in your life a bit more.

Be re:Freshed in 2010!
re:Fresh Starts up again for 2010 tonight 7:30pm. Make like the Wise Men and follow the light. Come out and be re:Freshed!
