RP-Weekly, June 7th
Good Morning RP!
Last Sunday, we kicked off our summer sermon series in the Minor Prophets, looking at the the Prophet Hosea and the reminder that despite our unfaithfulness to God He remains faithful to us. This week I'll be teaching from the Book of Joel where we read this beautiful verse speaking of God's heart, through Christ, to do a work of restoration in our lives.

This Sunday is also our first Park in the Park' for the Summer! We'll gather on Sunday from 3pm onwards in Loyola Park on the grass by the Volley Ball Courts, where Loyola Park meets Farewell Ave. We'll have a Grill setup this year with free hotdogs! available to anyone and all - this is a great opportunity for us as a church family to spend time deepening friendships with one another playing and having fun, and also an opportunity to be present as a church with a heart to befriend and welcome others from our neighborhood! Bring a ball, Bring a frisbee, Bring a picnic, Bring your kids, Bring yourself! Come on out! And a big shout out to Adam Pennington for building on the heart of last year to make this year even better!
This Sunday, during service we will also have the joy of a 'New Members Dedication' in service where we will welcome, Xavier and Maddie Iddriss, Tre and Heather Demps, Rashad and Mo Byrd and Amanda Fries into Membership at RP! Membership is the formal step of commitment followers of Christ make to live out their faith within the community and accountability of a local church, under the shepherding care and oversight of pastors and elders. We are thrilled to welcome these new members to our church family!
See you Sunday everyone!
Much love,
Pastor Phil

Upcoming
Serving at Park-RP
When you join a serving team, you're not just volunteering; you're becoming an integral part of our church family. It's where friendships begin, where commitment is strengthened, and where you will truly start to feel like you belong.
Giving at Park-RP
We believe that giving is an act of worship. It recognizes God as the owner and source of all we have. It is our cheerful response to God in praise of His radical generosity towards us.
Neighborhood Partners
Collaboration allows us to leverage our strengths, compensate for our weaknesses, and reach areas and demographics of our city that might otherwise remain untouched.
Ministry Calendar
Children's Ministry Update
Happy Summer all, we are excited that Soccer camp registrations are now open, so sign up to join the team and/or register your kid(s) via our events page.
RP Kids May Curriculum: (For the family resource to follow along at home, click here)
Monthly Memory Verse: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
SESSION 1 (5/19): Paul’s Conversion (Acts 9:1-31)
SESSION 2 (5/26): Paul & Barnabas in Lystra (Acts 14:8-20)
SESSION 3 (6/2): Paul & Silas in Prison (Acts 16:16-40)
SESSION 4 (6/9): Paul’s Shipwreck (Acts 27:27-28:5)
Note for Elementary kids parents: As we look to the summer schedule for our RP Kids ministry, we have prayerfully decided to give our Elementary kids the opportunity to remain in service once a month on the following dates:
5/26/2024
6/16/2024
7/14/2024
8/11/2024
We hope and pray this will give our Elementary kids a great experience of being a part of our wider church family. It will also mean that our RP Kids ministry team will not be asked to serve twice a month throughout the summer as we have a reduced number of team members. We appreciate your understanding and are happy to discuss this further if helpful!
If you have recently joined our church or have a new child please register them here.
