RCAC Plan for Return to Worship
Last updated: September 29, 2021
Our pastors have coordinated to have all worship services return to in-person worship by October 2 & 3. We're thankful for the input and insight of our church members, the Board of Elders, as well as guidance from the District Office. And we are excited at the prospect of worshiping together again, returning after a lengthy time away.
Let's continue worshiping together, lifting the name of our Lord, depending on him, and encouraging one another with songs, hymns and spiritual songs.
