Our change of season is definitely here. We hope you have enjoyed your summer and that it has been a fruitful time for you! As with all of life, there may have been good and also difficult things that have happened. But, if there has been difficulty, we can remember that as followers of Christ, our hope is always in Him. We know we can rest on His promises, season to season, and look to Him and His grace to bring us through. We can remember that He works all things out for our good (Romans 8:28) and that God also promises not to withhold any good thing from us when we walk with Him (Psalm 84:11). So, even with difficulty and disappointment good fruit can bear out as we follow the Lord through those times and look forward to the many good things that God has in store for us.

We just had an awesome "It's Fall Y'ALL" event at both our Brandon and Rutland locations, the quintessential mark of fall now for all of us as a church body. See below for some wonderful pictures of our time together. We are now looking forward to the approaching holiday season and giving a "heads up" for what is coming up!

Encounter Night

Join us for this special, first ever Halloween Encounter Night service taking place (as you might suspect!) on October 31st at 6:30pm at the RC Rutland location. If you want to experience something truly supernatural, come on out! Join us for an encounter with our supernatural God. On a night often marked by darkness, we'll gather together to lift up Jesus--worshipping, praying and experiencing His powerful presence together. Come expectant. Come united. Let's shine His light in the night.

Friday Night Frenzy

Calling all youths! RC Rutland is having a youth event on November 14th, 8pm to midnight, taking place at the Fortress of Fun in Center Rutland. There will be arcade games, Nerf wars, and pizza along with a time of worship and an encouraging message. This event is for youth in grades 6 to 12, so grab a friend and come on out for an evening of fun, encouragement and frenzy!

The Power of One Step

Psalm 37:23- 24 

The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he

may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

We often wait for the perfect moment to start, the right season, the right finances, the right

feeling. God doesn’t wait for perfect conditions; He steps up when we step out. Peter didn’t walk on water because he had it all figured out. He walked because he took one step

toward Jesus.

Sometimes faith isn’t about knowing the whole plan, it’s about trusting the One who gave you the next step.

So, don’t underestimate what one act of obedience can do. That one step might not change

everything immediately, but it’s the start of everything changing.

It's Fall Y'ALL Block Parties

At RC Rutland and RC Brandon Locations

Roadside Chapel just finished hosting its yearly Fall Y'All event! It took place on October 18th and 19th at our two locations this year, Saturday at RC Rutland and Sunday at RC Brandon. We had a great couple of days of pony rides, bounce houses, apple-pressing cider, fall food, wagon rides, face painting, and a photo booth! Church and community members were invited to come together for this day of fun activities with an opportunity to get to know more of our community members.
