Church goal: $35,000

Let Us Remain on Offense

While we pray for and seek to secure our religious liberties in the

Commonwealth of Virginia, let us not shift into a defensive, bunker

mentality. Let’s continue to boldly and joyfully speak the truth in love.

Let’s stay on the offense with the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus

Christ! He rescued us from our sins and has given us the joyful

privilege of sharing the gospel to the world. The North American

Mission Board is a great partner in helping us take the gospel across

our country and continent. Please pray about your part in reaching our

$35,000 goal to support hundreds of needed church planting efforts.

Jesus is and always has been the hope of our nation because He is the

only true hope for every person. Let’s keep praying, giving, and going

with the good news!

Building Blocks “Next Step” Equip Class March 1st, 2020 @ 11 AM or 6 PM in Room M3

Every Christian parent desires that his or

her child will trust in Christ as their

Savior. The implications are enormous

and eternity hangs in the balance. This

is the most important decision your child

will make. This seminar is designed to

help parents have the knowledge and tools necessary to lead

their child into a relationship with Jesus.

Thursday, March 26, 7:00-8:00 PM

SMRBC Room MP-1

The Women’s Ministry invites all ladies to

our first Koinonia (fellowship). We will

have a time of praise and worship music, a

short devotion, and sweet fellowship

around the dessert table. Watch for more

information coming soon!

Collection of Baby Items for East End Pregnancy Center

For the month of March, Women on Mission will be collecting items for the East End Pregnancy Center.

There will be a collection bin in the foyer. Here are the items most needed:

Diapers (sizes 3-6) Wipes Similac Pro Advanced formula New clothing New or gently used diaper bags New “Pack ‘n Play” play yards

Thank you for your donations to this important ministry in our community!

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 8th. Don’t forget to turn your clocks forward an hour on

Saturday night, March 7th!

Associate Pastor for Student Ministries Adam Nuckols

Men, softball season is just around the corner. Our church team,

which plays in a competitive recreational church league is always

looking for able-bodied men (must be at least 14 years of age) who

are interested in participating. Please contact Randall Atkins at

[email protected] for more information. Then watch the church

bulletin for announcements concerning practice times and upcoming

games. The first game is March 26.

On Sunday, March 15th the parents of our graduating seniors will gather for the Building Block 7 Parent Seminar.

This gathering will be focused on discussing 5 areas of readiness for the graduates:

1. Be Ready…Apologetics

2. Be Ready…God’s Plan for Me

3. Be Ready…A Person of Influence

4. Be Ready…Dating and Marriage

5. Be Ready…Life Skills

This final milestone children reach before they leave home is exciting and challenging. This point in life is a

culmination of the years poured into them as parents have led them, taught them, and loved them. Students will

begin making major life decisions including college choice, possible career choice, and a myriad of smaller

decisions that will amount to their life’s direction.

These parents need the continued support of the church family as they transition to loving mentors of their sons

and daughters, so please encourage them and pray for them to finish strong!

Congratulations to

John M. Folker and Lexandra Platingos

on their marriage in Jacksonville, North Carolina

on February 9.

Ron and I would like to send our sincere thanks and gratitude for the outpouring of love following Marcie’s surgery. The meals, cards, calls, visits and

prayers meant more to us than you could ever know. We covet your continued prayers as we sojourn on in this journey of healing and thank our precious Lord for each of you. Blessings, Ron and Marcie Tiedemann

Easter Celebration for Families

Saturday, April 4th 2:00-4:00 PM at Crump Park

For SMRBC families with children through 3rd grade

Family Mission Trip to the Eastern Shore The SBC of Virginia is sponsoring a family mission

trip this summer to the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Family Fusion is a multi-day mission experience that

allows children to work with their mom, dad, grandparents, or another family member to meet the

physical and spiritual needs of others through

servanthood and evangelism experiences. Registration

is now open at this link:

https://www.sbcv.org/2020-family-fusion-mission-

camp/

If you have questions or desire more information,

please contact Pastor Dustin in the church office.

Join us for an afternoon of fun at the park. Children will enjoy inflatables, a petting zoo, egg hunt, and an Easter craft to take home. This event is for SMRBC families with children through 3rd grade, but will also present an opportunity for our church to share the Easter message with other families in the community. We are encouraging families to invite unchurched friends and neighbors to this event.
