Visitation

I'm looking for 16 people to help with visitation on Tuesday night at six o'clock. You will be asked to visit once a month for seven months. That means seven nights a visitation per year. Be in prayer as to whether God would have you participate or not. Sunday morning, I will give you the opportunity to sign up to join a visitation team. There will be a one night training session in the next week or two. There are many people visiting Ridglea Heights Baptist Church and they need to know that we love and care about them; so, we are going to visit them. Being a part of this visitation team allows you to bear Spirit-filled fruit in our community.

I would like to invite several married couples to join Tinell and I as we participate in lovingly committed 24/7 retreat February 13th, 14th and 15th. Good marriages don't become good marriages by accident. They take a lot of hard work. So come and participate and let your marriage become one of the great ones.

This past Sunday was a tremendous day. The 8:30 service and 11:00 service were filled with people wanting to hear the Word of God so that it can help them become more like Jesus. Help me as I pray that our Sunday school will grow to over 200 participants. It is very important that we become like Jesus. The best way for us to be transformed into the image of Jesus is through basic Bible study. Let's all get involved in Sunday. By the way, spread the word, I'll be starting a new pastor’s class on the last Sunday of January. It will be located in the sanctuary and it will start at 10:00a.m. It's open to anyone who is not going to Sunday school now or any new believers, who would like to learn more about basic Christianity and what we believe here at Ridglea Heights Baptist Church.

New Sunday School Class

All is well at Ridglea Heights Baptist Church. We are preparing for the New Year. The workday went really well this Saturday; Mitch, Dustin and myself would like to thank you so much for your participation, a lot of great work was done. Please be listening close as we prepare to start up a new year of visitation. In a few weeks you will be asked to join our visitation teams. I am asking at least six people to volunteer for one Tuesday night a month. You choose the Tuesday, just let me know so we can schedule you for that night. God has blessed us with a large number of visitors here at Ridglea Heights. We need to let them know that we care.

Also for those of you who do not attend Sunday School or have just recently joined Ridglea Heights Baptist Church were going to have a new Sunday School class. This class will last about 13 weeks, and in it we would talk about the things that we believe here at Ridglea Heights Baptist Church and will answer any questions that you have. We will meet in the sanctuary each Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. I look forward to seeing some of you there.
