From the Shepherd's Heart...Tuesday, October 6, 2015

Dear First Family:

The 2015-16 church budget was approved Sunday night in our business section.  The new budget calls for $9,682.41 a week plus the $3,103.75 for our mortgage payment.  I appreciate the fine work of our Stewardship Committee in their work on this year's budget.

One of the great partnerships we have as RFBC is with other churches through the DeKalb Baptist Association.  The annual meeting of the DBA will be Monday, October 19 at Second Baptist Church, Ft. Payne.  The afternoon session will begin at 2, the evening session at 6 with a meal at 5.  If you would like to be a messenger, call the church office or send Alisa an email here.

Speaking of partnerships, we host the Northeast Alabama Extension Center of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary here at RFBC.  The Certificate program is designed for all persons who have an interest in learning more about the Bible in a more advance way.  The only educational requirement for the Certificate program is a high school diploma or equivalent.

A new term for the Biblical Interpretation Certificate program begins Tuesday, October 13 with Ken Allen (Director, DeKalb Baptist Association) teaching Romans.  The Bible Teaching Certificate program begins Thursday, October 15 the book of Revelation being taught.  Classes are $100 each plus your textbook (and a one-time registration fee).  For more information, contact me or Zach Richards via email here.

Pray for Ronald Bell as he has surgery Thursday at UAB.

Blessings with all my love;
David
