ALPHA
Sundays, through November 20 | 9-10:15 AM | Fireside Room | Free
Alpha is a place to connect with other people who are open to exploring life, faith, and meaning. Each session will include coffee and a light breakfast along with a time to engage in honest conversations. You’ll hear a short talk centered around questions of the Christian faith and then have a chance for each person to share questions, doubts, and thoughts with the group. Come meet new people, find a place to belong, and discover a safe place to ask tough questions. There is no obligation to say anything and no question will be out of bounds. All perspectives are welcome. Please register HERE to reserve your spot! Childcare and children’s programming for infants through 5th grade is available. Feel free to jump in at any time! Email Craig Davis at CraigD@rdf.org for additional information.

FOOD DRIVE
Please join us, as we partner with our Food Ministry to increase our essential food inventory as there has been a notable drop in food supply from our primary sources. The specific items needed are: mac & cheese, Cup Noodles, Top Ramen, creamy peanut butter, dried beans (any kind), pasta, pasta sauce, canned veggies, cereal, canned tuna, and canned chicken. You can drop these items on the church patio during the week or on Sundays. For your convenience, you may also shop our Amazon Wishlist and the food items will be delivered directly to the church. Thank you for your gracious generosity! Questions? Please email Cece at cecet@rdf.org.
