The Lord's Table is observed once a month alternating between the 10:30 am service and the 6:00 pm service.
And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks He said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves. For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." And He took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me." And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.
-Luke 22:17-20

JR. CHURCH
Our Jr. Church is going through the Answers in Genesis - ABC Bible Curriculum. Come and visit us if you like and learn with us. We have a great time with our teachers and our fantastic assistants.
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
2 Timothy 3:14-16
Prayer & Praise meets Wednesday evenings at 7 pm in the Sanctuary.
Our Wednesday night prayer and praise gives opportunity to sing a couple of old hymns, songs from the heart. We study God's Word and make personal application of scriptures. There is a close fellowship of saints on our way through this old world on our way to heaven.
We listen, then pray for the needs in our lives and attempt to thank the Lord for Who We is and what He is doing in our lives, in our church and our worlds. This meeting helps us to stay close to the Lord.
-Pastor Emeritus Jameson

Meets the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month at 7:00 pm in the Education Building.
A tWeener, by our current definition, is someone who is too old for Youth Group but too young for the Speed Limit Gang. Despite our definition the entire congregation ( this means you ) are invited to come on over to spend time in God’s Holy Word and fellowship together.
The tWeeners group is working through the New Testament book by book. They started in Philippians and do one chapter a night. Bring your Bible and plan to learn and grow together.
Questions –see Pastor Adam
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:9,10 & 12
This is a time for men to come together in fellowship, have a devotional & of course a bit-o-food. Bring a friend & and open spirit. A suggested donation of 2 or 3 dollars would be appreciated to help with costs. Breakfast starts at 8 am and meets in the Fellowship Hall the 1st Saturday of each month during the School year.

We host Released Time Bible Class [RTBC] led by Debbie Price who ministers with Rural Bible Mission [RBM] Ministries. This is an opportunity for children, in accordance with Michigan law, to be released from school once a month to attend religious instructional classes. The class is one hour and thirty minutes. The children are picked up from school by the church at 9:00am and returned following the class by 11:00am operating during the months of October – April or May depending upon spring break.
Schools which are currently involved:
Scott Elementary
Schavey Road Elementary
David Scott Elementary
If you are interested in having your child involved in this program pick up a yellow flier at the information table in the foyer or contact your school office if it is one of the previously listed schools. We would be happy to have your child join us at RTBC.
What is Released Time Bible Class?
Now, by state law, a new and effectual door has opened called “released time”. Michigan Administrative Code R 340.71 states that… “The board of education or its duly authorized representative, upon written request of the parent, guardian or person having control or charge of any child or children, shall release from attendance at the public school any child or children to attend religious instruction classes not to exceed two hours (120 minutes) per week.” Or, in other words, if Mom or Dad sign the permission slips, the kids can go from school on school time to a nearby church or other suitable place for Bible Class!
What the Children Get …
Seven times each school year the Bible is taught by the story-telling method, with the aid of eye-catching visuals.
The Bible Story is the “heart” of the program. The stories are chosen from both the Old and New Testaments, with concern for the needs and understanding of the children. The presentation is true to life, faithful to Scripture and backed by RBM Ministries’ commitment to evangelical Christian doctrine.
Each month the children are given a Bible verse to memorize and apply to their lives. Where facilities and time allow songs and quizzes are part of the program.
An attractive take-home paper climaxes the thrust of each month’s lesson, games and pointed Bible message are used to help crystallize Biblical truth.
