Highlights from RBC Board meeting last night: Wayne sharing about men getting into the Word of God every day. It is so simple and yet it is what it’s all about. Wayne challenged each of these men to get into the Word – every day –…

It has come to my attention that I may have, however inadvertently, disparaged the good name of a certain youth pastor in my previous post. Though all I wrote about him giving us as gifts our own stuff (and RBC’s dish towels) is true… There is a bit …
