A NOTE FROM PASTOR DAVE
We are Making Room for You!
Starting March 20, we will move to three services on Sunday morning. The service times will be 8:00 a.m., 9:30 a.m., and 11:00 a.m.
We are going to meet in three services from March 20 through May 22. The reasons behind the change are:
- The services are starting to be full enough that we are sending people to the overflow in the library.
- We want to encourage people back to our fellowship in person. Three services will allow people to sit with more space between them. We recognize that, since the pandemic, being crammed together is uncomfortable for many.
- We want to have some experience at three services before we head into next fall. We have thirty-five families who have not yet returned in person. We anticipate that most of them will by next fall. So, we are making plans for three services next fall.
How Can You Help?
- Pray for the change to make RVC welcoming to visitors as well as people who have not been comfortable enough to return yet.
- Serve: With the change comes additional needed volunteers in all areas on Sunday morning. We will need additional volunteers in RVC | kids, greeters, etc.
- Consider moving to the 8:00 a.m. service.

PRAYER AND PRAISE BAPTISM SERVICE
Our next Prayer and Praise Night is on Sunday, March 13, from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. This is a time of worship and praise and to share what God is doing in our church family. We have ten people signed up for baptism that night. We still have room for you.
We will be celebrating baptisms at this service. Here's a reminder of what we as a church believe about baptism:
Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior and the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. It is a testimony of the believer’s faith. Even Jesus was baptized!
"In those days Jesus came from Narareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan." Mark 1:9
If you are interested in being baptized, please contact the church office or Pastor Wyatt.

The Oshkosh Public Museum staff has given us permission to use their parking lot as overflow parking on Sunday mornings, if needed. Please remember that parking is permitted only in marked, unrestricted stalls in the main lot south of the museum (accessible from High Ave.) and driveways must not be blocked.

*From the Book's Back Cover
"In a world increasingly indifferent to Christian truth, followers of Christ need to be equipped to communicate with those who do not speak their language or accept their source of authority. Gregory Koukl demonstrates how to get in the driver's seat, keeping any conversation moving with thoughtful, artful diplomacy. Read more

 Jason Gray returns to the stage at Dwelling 2:22, featuring new songs and a new show. Jason started in youth ministry in 1993 before launching his full-time music ministry. It wasn’t until 2007, when his album “Everything Sad is Coming Untrue” climbed into the top 20 before he started to make waves.
2010 brought “More Like Falling in Love” which topped out at #5 and then the song for which he is best known (so far), “Remind Me Who I Am” came out in 2011 and made it to #4. His latest album, ORDER, DISORDER, REORDER is a three-CD set that tracks his journey and resonates with many of us.
Tickets are $15-general admission; $25-VIP/early in and are available at iTickets or by calling 920-267-7707 (to avoid ticketing fees). Show starts at 7:00 p.m., doors open at 6:00 p.m.
