RBC’s Basketball for Children and Youth is here!

I know its long over due, but RBC Basketball for Children and Youth is here!  More details will be announced on Sunday and posted to the website on Monday, but here is a preview.  We will be doing Upward Basketball for children and Youth basketball (through the Christian Basketball Association) for grades 6th – 12th.  Registration will open on November 2nd and will go through the 1st week of December.  Please be on the look out for further announcements and information.  We are so excited about this opportunity.  Please keep this ministry in your prayers and begin to pray for all the lives that we’ll touch; specifically that we are able to plant a seed in each one of them.

Lastly, if you are interested in coaching, reffing, or helping either league in any way please contact me soonest at joed@redlandbaptist.org or contact the church office at 301-977-1000.

God Bless!

Join Us For Our First Recreation Ministry Fair on September 27th

Are you a sports fanatic? Do you love to scrap book? Are you passionate about camping and the outdoors? Did you know that you can use these passions as a vehicle to get to know our community.  That’s what Recreation Ministry is all about.  Its about using recreation, whether its crafts or sports, as a way to share the ultimate love story with those that have never heard it or with those that wouldn’t normally give you an opportunity to do so.  So if you like to play and are passionate about Christ, come find out how you can share that passion while you play.  Its called play…with a purpose.  You’ll love it.

What: RBC Recreation Ministry Fair

Where: Redland Baptist Church

When: September 27, 2009 from 8:00 am to 12:45 pm.

See you then!

God Bless

Welcome to our new Upward Basketball League Director

It is my pleasure to introduce to you, Mike Craig, our first Upward Basketball League Director.  Please join me in welcoming Mike as the newest member of the Recreation Ministry Team.  We are excited to have him on the team!  Please cover him in your prayers as he leads this awesome outreach opportunity.   If you are interested and or are feeling lead to join him you can contact him at mike.craig@verizon.net or contact me at joed@redlandbaptist.org.

Lastly, although January (the start of the season) sounds so far away, begin covering this league in your prayers.  Pray for Mike and the team that God will use them in a mighty way to reach our community with the Gospel through the sport of Basketball.  Pray for Mike and myself as we recruit Godly men and woman to fill each position within the league.  And pray for the children AND the families of those that participate in the league so that each of them has the opportunity to learn about and receive the greatest gift…JESUS!

Welcome to the team, Mike!

God Bless,
