Welcome Upward Coaches to 2011-2012 Season!

CONNECT with us at the ROC in September 2011

For several years now Redland Baptist has embarked on a mission to build a new recreation facility.  The church has prayed that this facility will become more then just a sports complex.  Our hope is that it will become a place where our community will come and hear about God’s saving grace and love through the many gifted and caring Redlanders.  It is through this changed life in Christ that motivates us to share how our story connected with God’s story.  Through God’s Holy Word, The Bible, we can hear God’s story of forgiveness, love, and grace that is offered to anyone who wants to receive God’s free gift of salvation.  Plan to join us around the tables in the foyer or shooting hoops in the gym this fall.  Beginning in September we will host Open-Gym night for men and women ages 18 and older.  Keep an eye out for the scheduled nights this fall.

In His Grip,

Pastor Bobby

Praise The Lord for Answered Prayers on the ROC

After several years of planning, preparation, and prayer, our new Recreation and Outreach Center is cleared for occupancy!

So, let me attempt to answer a few questions as we move forward.

Can we use the ROC?

Almost!  There are a few things that need to be done before the ROC is fully in use.  I know everyone is excited for this long awaited dream to come true.  But first things first.  We first must complete some finishing touches.  The REC Committee is diligently at work equipping the ROC  for use: by preparing the opening and closing process for operation, ordering equipment to “stock” the ROC, and training volunteers to operate the ROC and programs.  Lastly, we are preparing for The ROC Dedication Service.  This service will be a celebration to mark a milestone for Redland and the beginning of new opportunities to share the love of Jesus Christ through sports and recreation ministry.

What is the difference between the Dedication Service and the Community Event?

Good question!

The Dedication Service is scheduled for May 1, 2011 and this day is to dedicate the ROC in memory of Dr. Wehunt, who was the visionary behind the the church moving to build the ROC.  He would say, “Give people what they want (sports and recreation), so we can give them what they need (a relationship with Jesus Christ).”  After the dedication the ROC will begin to be in use.

The Community Event is being planned for Fall 2011.  This event is community wide.  We encourage redlanders to invite friends and neighbors to check out the new facility.  We hope through this event we can connect with our community through sports and recreation.

So, I hope this answers your questions so far.  If you have more questions concerning the ROC, let me know.  Send your question to Bobby by Clicking Here.

Thank you for your prayers.
