Pastor’s Corner
Fall is back at RMBC. After Labor Day, our full Wednesday programs resume and the energy and excitement takes off. I’m excited as we begin this new season together. It’s a time of vitality and growth and I encourage you to join us. You can read in this newsletter about our special Wednesday night study and about all the other opportunities that are happening.
I’m also looking forward to our community picnic our Believers’ Fellowship Class is leading. I hope you will consider helping out with this outreach event. I love that this is something born from our Sunday School class members who are desiring to make a connection and difference in this community. I pray more God moments will follow!
So with Fall, why not recharge and renew. Join us each week for Sunday School, Worship, and Wednesday nights.
Blessings, Derik

Thank you for the gift card to Lifeway and for the continued prayers and support as I transition into adulthood.

Dear Church Family,
I am so grateful for your prayers and concerns while in the hospital, recovering from the effect of an antibiotic which I had been taking that mimicked a heart attack. Thank you also for the beautiful plant. Thanks to Derik for his visits, prayers and encouragement. Love in Christ, Gladys Mason
RMBC Family, Thank you all for your hospitality in welcoming myself and the Student.Church South Korea Team in July! Marco, Joy, and Yuji loved their time getting to know you and serving alongside you! Thank you, church family, for being the hands and feet of Jesus to my friends! We loved spending the week in Madison Heights! Thank you, Jaime Fitzgerald
To My RMBC Family, July 19th marked seventeen years of service for me here at RMBC. As your church secretary, and now financial administrator, I can truly say it’s been a joyous time for me. I continue to thank God for the privilege of having a “job” where I love my work. Beyond the paperwork, it’s been a great opportunity of ministry. I have enjoyed the wonderful time spent with so many nice folks, receiving sweet blessings year after year. It’s a great feeling to know that you are where God wants you to be. Thank you for the love, prayers and support you have sent my way. God’s blessing to all of you, Bonnie Alldredge
Thank you for all who attended our Union Service on August 28. The total raised for Helping Hands was $895! Thank you for your generosity for those in our community.

Thanks for making a difference in the lives of children in Central Virginia community.
