Pastor’s Corner Summer is here! We have so many exciting activities and ministries going on. Please keep a copy of this newsletter handy so you can keep up with all the great opportunities that summer brings. Also our ongoing worship and Sunday School can continue to make your summer a time of growth and strength in your faith journey. I will be away on vacation twice and so you will get to hear Cadence Tyler and Mark Beck preach. The youth will also be leading a worship service this summer. Our Vacation Bible School, camps and trips, will all make this an exciting time. -Office Changes. We have hired a new secretary and by the time you read this she is at work. We appreciate our temp Theresa Russell for filling in during this time. I also appreciate Bonnie Alldredge for going above and beyond to keep things going well. Our new secretary is Chelsea Thomas and we welcome her to our office at RMBC. -River Baptism. We have two to present at the James River. The date is July 24 at 4:00 at Greif (same as last year). We will have worship down by the river and a picnic. If you are interested in baptism, please contact me. -Sanctuary Renovation Conversation. We have had our second town hall meeting and in this newsletter you will find an important card. The card is an anonymous pledge interest. We have NOT voted to renovate the sanctuary. This card is to determine what financial support/interest is there before an official motion is made. The Sanctuary Committee, along with Deacons and Stewardship, encourage you to fill out this card and drop in the offering plate. It is simply a survey to determine what each of us might be willing to commit to give to a renovation should the church determine this is God’s direction for our church. God is at work at RMBC! Blessings, Derik

Join us for our
Loyalty/Homecoming
Day,
Our 60th Anniversary!
Notes From Susie The music we sing in church—often called hymns are usually based on scripture in poetic form. We can get distracted by the instruments, or by the rhythm, or even the melody and forget the words sometimes. That’s why you will see the words projected on the screen. So everyone—even the musically challenged can appreciate the poetry of the hymn. Here’s one of my favorite “poems,” How Can I Keep from Singing? By Robert Lowry written in 1869. The phrases turn a little but the message is clear...I must sing! “My life flows on in endless song; above earth’s lamentation, I hear the sweet, though far off hymn that hails the new creation. Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing It finds an echo in my soul– how can I keep from singing?”
Ephesians 5:19—Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.
On June 26th, nine youth and three chaperones will be going to Averett University in Danville for Impact Mission Camp! They will be working with youth from across the state to serve the people of Danville. Thank you for your support of the youth, and please be in prayer for this trip!
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I am so grateful for each of you. You have made my recovery time so much easier. Every prayer, every call, every card, every gift and all the food have been received with much gratitude and pleasure. Thank you for your expression of concern and care for me and my family. You are certainly a warm, loving church family.
Marie Milton Dear Dr. Hamby and RMBC Family, I am thankful to have finished the 6 months of Chemotherapy. Your prayers and cards have been such an encouragement and blessing. Thank You.
In Christ,
Paula Wilson (Linea’s mother)
Thank You!
