The report from the Vision 2020 Committee has been released with their recommendations for how the Reformed Church should proceed into the future with its current conflicts. You can access it on the internet at https://www.rca.org/ or request a copy from the church office.

SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICES: 

Bulletins are now provided.  We ask that your give your offering as you exit so that the money is not laying exposed in the plates during the service. We will continue to usher people in and out.

* Watch the website for additional updates and cancellations:  rockrapidsfrc.org.

The Task Force has agreed to open up and allow small groups to meet for Bible Studies, Circles and other meetings. Social distancing should still be practiced by keeping group gatherings to small numbers depending on the room. We are asking that you call the church office to reserve a room. The rooms available include 345, the Children’s Center, and 107. We also ask that the tables, chairs and door handles be wiped down with wipes provided in each room. Please limit where you go in the building. 

The Search Committee has posted the church profile on the Reformed Church in America’s website. They are receiving applications which will be evaluated and discerned. 

This morning we are setting out Bibles at the entrances to the sanctuary for those who wish to use one. HOWEVER, WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO BRING YOUR OWN BIBLE TO WORSHIP FOR YOUR REFERENCE. This is a good habit for all of us to have.
