New things underway…

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

NEW STAFF MEMBERS

We have two new staff members who have joined our ministry in this new year. Holly Baldwin is our new Administrative Assistant, and Randy Sherron is our new Interim Pastor. We are excited about the creativity, gifts, and energy they each bring to the life and mission of RRBC.

NEW COLLEGE CLASS

This year we have begun a new class for college students, and college-age young adults. Nathaniel Grubbs is leading this class. He is currently a graduate student and TA at NC State. Currently the class is going through the NOOMA DVD series produced by Rob Bell. This video series is thought provoking, and creatively invites viewers into conversation about matters of faith and practice. This class is meeting now in room 210 of our education building @ 9:40 AM.

NEW ADULT CLASS

Starting February 21, 2010 there will be a new class for couples/parents and young professionals. This class will be led by Zach Roberts. To get started, this class will spend 10 weeks studying the “Teachings of the Twelve.” Historically this document is called the “Didache”, and is one of the oldest confessions of faith & practice in the Christian tradition. This class will discuss these teachings in dialog with the Bible. By looking together at the ancient wisdom of our collective past, we can face the mystery of the Bible, and the vastness of today’s complexity with a measure of confidence and excitement. This class will meet in room 205 of the education building @ 9:40 AM. (The book in the link above is not required for this class, but is an additional resource for those interested.)

Come see what’s new at Ridge Road Baptist Church!
