Weekend Recap...

Hey rbcparents! So obviously this post is a little different than our usual Sunday recap posts... Why? Because this past weekend was DNOW! We hope all of your students had a blast at DNOW, and for those of you who's students didn't come, we encourage you to send them to DNOW next year.  Why? Because it is an absolutely incredible weekend! For DNOW2013, we spent the weekend enjoying worship with Nate Jones and his band, being thoroughly entertained by Hannibal LaGrange's The New Edition, and hearing from our amazing speaker Josh Pease.
We (the rbcstudents staff) had an amazing weekend with all of your students! From relays and rock climbing to worshiping with all of them... everything was wonderful! We hope all of your students enjoyed their weekend as much as we did... Don't forget to encourage your students to continue what they started at DNOW.  Remind them to take what they learned to heart and to keep studying their DNOW Devotion books... We want the "amazingness" we saw at DNOW to keep going...  
And last, but not least... thank you to all of the parents who opened up your homes to the students and thank you to those who helped with transportation, food, etc... We couldn't have done it without you!

Let us know what you thought of DNOW! We'd love your feedback... Email Kate Ford at Kate@ridgecrestbaptist.org

DNOW2013

Hey rbcparents! We just wanted to let everyone know that DNOW is still happening!  The roads are clear and we are ready for an awesome weekend with your students!
Check-in starts at 6:30. 
We hope your kids have an awesome weekend and that you all can maybe enjoy a quiet house for a couple of days... unless you're a host home. ;)

Please be in prayer for our staff, the speaker, the band, the leaders, the host homes, and all of our transportation volunteers throughout the weekend.  We hope this weekend changes your students' lives.
We are so grateful for all of you and the hard work you put into helping our Student Ministry!

Sincerely,
The rbcstudents Staff

SMALL GROUPS: Sunday, March 3rd

Yesterday was such a wonderful day for us here at rbcstudents! We got to study God's Word with all of your amazing students in the morning... and even give away some DNOW discounts in the 9:00 & 10:30 intros! THEN... we got to play some Laser Tag with them... We couldn't have asked for a better day! To recap what we talked about in the morning... we spent time in Luke, chapter 3.  We talked about the start of Jesus' ministry, and how He spent 40 days fasting in the desert.  How many of you or your students could go that long without eating or drinking? If someone offered you something to eat or drink at the end of that, would you be tempted to take it... even if you knew it was wrong? That's exactly how Satan tempted Jesus in the desert... Jesus was weak and hungry, and Satan tempted Him with what He needed most.  That's how the enemy works.  He hits us at our weakest, most vulnerable place... and he uses what we need most to tempt us.  We discussed this in depth yesterday in our small groups.  We also talked about repentance, and while we as believers, though saved, still need to live a life of ongoing repentance.  Thank you for letting us study God's Word with all of your students! Have a great week rbcparents.
