Livestream Only – January 25
Dear RBC Family,
The RBC campus will be closed all day both Sunday and Monday (Jan. 25-26) due to the winter storm.
A recording of Jim’s new message in our Romans series will be streamed on live.restonbible.org and our YouTube channel on Sunday at 9:00am and then available in the sermon archive afterwards. The livestream and sermon archive are also accessible via the RBC app.
As we move into the week, keep an eye on restonbible.org/weather or contact your ministry leader with any questions about church activities and events. Our snow removal contractor and facility crew will be working to clear the parking lot and sidewalks on Monday afternoon. All events are tied to the Loudoun County school opening and closure schedules unless exceptions are granted.
Remain prayerful and alert as to how the LORD might use this time beyond enjoying the beauty of it to build new or existing relationships that one day lead to spiritual conversations. Shoveling snow, cleaning cars, sledding, and hosting warm snacks and meals often provide opportunities to engage neighbors in unique ways. When Diana and I were first married and living in an apartment in Reston, there was a significant snow, and we met an upstairs couple for the first time. Eventually, they came over for dinner and we talked about their spiritual journey and Jesus Christ. He became their Savior and LORD, and after all these years are still His active disciples.
Looking forward to seeing you for in-person services on Sunday, February 1st.
Thanks,
Bruce
