Sunday the 18th October

One week is a long time..

It seems like months ago that we recorded and released our last RVC online service but it was just last week. Lots has happened in that time. Briefly...

Pastor Adam is working hard to establish a connection and understanding of just who & what RVC is. This is a little more difficult to achieve without the usual Sunday gathering; he's doing a great job though
Speaking of Sundays; the Elders have been working behind the scenes to manage the regular needs of the body during this time; they have also been working on what the future of Sunday gatherings may look like, especially in the light of Covid19 restrictions looking like they will impact how we gather for at least the foreseeable future. Stay tuned for more news about this
On the surface, the website has been quiet for the last little bit. I have been unwell and have not been in a position to do very much; Denise Firth however has been working hard behind the scenes, giving the site a freshen up. She has also added a Blog page. This means that you will be able to add your thoughts and reflections about all manner of things as they come up. There is also an "Open Blog" where you can add any thoughts opinions requests etc on any topic that you like. Click Here to have a look at that
Tithing and Offering: its still very important that you submit your tithes and offerings whenever you can. Click here for more on this.

Well that's all for now; Check back here every other day for updates
