January 7/8 - February 18/19
Join us for this winter sermon series titled “Fired Up Conversations.” It used to be said the two things we don’t discuss are politics and religion. Why? Because differences in opinions often get people emotional and fired up. Dr. Bruce Humphrey will lead us through some biblical insights about those uncomfortable religious conversations that so often get heated. How can we learn to listen and respect those who hold different beliefs from ours? Let’s learn how to turn the heat down and seek understanding and connection. ~Dr. Bruce Humphrey

At RBCPC, it is an intergenerational event, with our Middle Schoolers, our Boy Scout Troop, and Carpenter’s Fellowship, joining together to “Stir it up!” How can you participate?
