This week at Refuge

REFUGE BAPTISM CELEBRATION - THIS SUNDAY at Refuge

Friends, this Sunday, we will celebrate at Refuge with our first baptism! Immediately following the (shortened) service, we will walk over to the pool at Blanchette and celebrate God's covenant through baptism.
Immediately following our baptism we will head back over to Memorial Hall for a Refuge family BBQ! We will supply everything but the sides and dessert. Families with last names beginning with A-N should bring a side dish and families with last names O-Z should bring a dessert.

REFUGE GOSPEL CLASS - The pathway to membership at Refuge.

On Tuesday, July 15th, we will begin our first classes for membership at Refuge. This class will focus on the Gospel and what Jesus has called his people to through the church. Our desire is to equip and train members of Refuge to live out the Gospel through your whole person - your know, your be and your do. This class will take you through the concept and command of "Church" as a whole, why become a "member" of a church as well as through how each of our values - Truth, Worship, Community, Reflection and Mission - incorporates your whole person being transformed by the Gospel.
We have a very high view of membership and this class should not be taken lightly. Our mission is not for the mildly interested, it is for the sold out and we view the responsibilities of those charged with the care and shepherding of the church to provide the support, structure and challenge for you to grow in and be transformed by the Good News of Jesus.
Here are the specifics:
WHEN: Tuesday Nights, 6:30-8:30, July 15th through August 19th, 6 classes total. (*you are strongly encouraged to attend every class, but you can miss one week.)
WHERE: Ridgecrest Baptist Church on the corner of 70 and 1st Capital in the Fellowship Hall.
WHAT TO BRING: Bring your Bible, we will provide the curriculum each week.

IMMEDIATE HELP NEEDED

Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service is a lead agency in disaster relief for our area.  The Care Service is currently working to meet the on-going needs of the families who are victims of recent flooding in St. Charles, Lincoln and Pike Counties.

Donations of non-perishable food items, toiletries, cleaning supplies, school supplies and gas gift cares are needed in addition to financial contributions.

Additionally, compassionate, resourceful individuals are needed who are able to work independently to serve as Case Managers to work with people affected by the flood.  The first training class for Case Managers will be held on July 12th .   Please contact the Care Service by July 9th if interested.

Contact Kathy at 636-441-1302 ext. 264 to help.

Check Those Bumpers!

"Drivers of cars with bumper stickers, window decals, personalized license plates and other "territorial markers" not only get mad when someone cuts in their lane or is slow to respond to a changed traffic light, but they are far more likely than those who do not personalize their cars to use their vehicles to express rage -- by honking, tailgating and other aggressive behavior."
