Or, do you simply find yourself struggling spiritually, regardless of how your week is going? Joining Richland for our Wednesday evening activities is a great way to get encouraged, challenged, sharpened and equipped to continue your daily journey in the faith.

It’s that time of the week when most of our church family is all together for the purpose of worshiping our Lord and building up His body. For those who are interested, we also provide nursery (toddlers and infants) and children’s ministry (kindergarten and below) during our morning worship services.

Do you ever sense a need for encouragement in the middle of a busy and/or overwhelming week? Join us on Wednesday evenings, when we have activities for all ages.

This Wednesday evening (6:30 – 7:30) the adults will be starting a new Bible study based on Tim Keller’s book “Gospel in Life.” This is a group course on the gospel and how it is lived out in all of life – first in your heart, then in your community, and then out into the world.

For those (all ages) who can make it, we serve supper at 5:45. Then, TeamKID pre-K, TeamKID supercharged and the youth group meet from 6:15 – 7:30. Invite your family and friends, and join us!

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact us. Hope to see you Wednesday evening.

Our Wednesday night meals resume TONIGHT at 5:45. Join us every week for delicious food and family fellowship here at Richland. If you want more information and/or want to help serve or prepare meals, please contact us.

TeamKID supercharged also resumes TONIGHT at 6:15. While we have TeamKID programs year-round, we get higher involvement and participation during the school year. Thus, we start at 6:15 (rather than our usual 6:30) to allow even more time for our youth and children to hang out, fellowship, grow in their faith and have fun. Youth and children, please join us! Parents, we’d love to have you come, too, as we have prayer and Bible study for adults at 6:30.

Our current Wednesday evening Bible study, Crazy Love, continues at 6:30. We are discussing God’s crazy, relentless, all-powerful, amazing love for us and how our lives are changed by His love. While we encourage you to read Francis Chan’s book along with joining this Bible study, you are not required to do so. Regardless, join us and be challenged to love God and love others.

Our weekly men’s ministry had our fall kick-off last night, as we went dove hunting at Whetstone Conservation Area outside Williamsburg. If you are interested in joining us for another hunting outing Saturday morning, please let us know. Also, our weekly fellowship and Bible study will begin next Tuesday (September 9), 6:30-7:30 p.m., in the fellowship hall. Hope you can make it, men! All following weekly fellowships will be on Monday evenings from 6:30-7:30, unless otherwise updated on our Men’s Ministry page.

As always, we encourage you to join us Sunday mornings for Sunday School (9:30) and worship (10:40).  Growing in the faith is both a vertical (you and God) and a horizontal (you and others) experience. For that reason, corporate worship and small group Bible study are important. Get plugged in and get involved. To listen to recent messages from our series “Our Church is Our Family,” click HERE.

Another great opportunity for corporate worship and family fellowship is found during our Sunday evening services from 6 to 7 p.m. Currently, we are doing The Story training, learning how we can better know, live and share God’s Story. This is a great opportunity for all ages, so please join us for this very informal and helpful time of worship, fellowship and encouragement.

Also, if you’d like to see some video’s from yesterday’s VBS program during our morning worship service, you can view those below.

While we have our Wednesday evening meals each week at 5:45 during most of the year, these meals are canceled during the summer months (June, July and August). Still our Wednesday night prayer meeting and Bible study, as well as our children’s programs, are still held each Wednesday at 6:30. We hope you’ll join us!
