Lord's Supper on Sunday, August 8 We will celebrate the Lord's Supper next Sunday, August 8, at 6:30 p.m., at Rolling Hills. Click here to learn more about the Lord's Supper.
Facility and Transition Meet new people this Sunday! Over the first weeks at River Hill God has brought new visitors to join us in worship. Each week we have people walk over from the track to ask what is going on, and some have even stopped in during the sermon. This week we would like to encourage you to meet people you don't know. They may be longtime members that worshiped in another service, or they may be a first-time guest. God has provided a great opportunity at River Hill to reach new people. Let's be faithful to reach out to those that join us for worship each Sunday. Thank you each for the role you play in the body of Christ. Facility updates Praise God for answered prayer on the Phase 2 Project! Hallelujah! We have received the commitment letter from the bank for the full requested construction loan amount of $3.5M, followed by a permanent mortgage with terms as expected. Be encouraged that the bank believes we have an incredibly generous congregation and that the giving is well above standards, for which ALL the glory goes to our great God in heaven! We are finalizing the contract with Scott-Long Construction this week and hope to have it ready for signature by the Board of Trustees meeting this Saturday. Additionally, the surveying is complete, the construction trailer and temporary utilities have been installed, and the site clearing has begun. To view the latest Phase 2 timeline or other information on the CPC building plans, click here. Phase 2 YTD giving through July 25, 2010 is $82,964.

Needs Trailer towing We are still looking for volunteers to tow the trailers. Right now we have 4 people with vehicles able to tow. We would like to double that list. The trailers weigh around 3,000 pounds. We have one dedicated to the worship equipment, and one dedicated to the nursery and children's church equipment and supplies. It seems to work best if we have 2 volunteers each week, one to tow each trailer. This allows us to leave the trailers hitched up for unloading and reloading (trailers don't pivot on the wheels while stuff is being wheeled in and out we save all the time hitching and unhitching multiple times). If you have a vehicle able to tow and are willing to volunteer your time during our transition period, please contact Eric Johnston. Library help Our library needs volunteers. No special skills are required. All ages. We also need a new librarian. If you love books, have some computer skills, and enjoy organization, please consider this position. To begin as a new library volunteer or librarian, or for any questions, please email Jessica Reichenbach or phone her at 301.543.1961. Pioneer Girls leaders Are you creatively minded?

For more information, click here. from Chapelgate Christian Academy: Can you help CCA impact the world by hosting an exchange student? Christ calls us to impact the world. Sometimes it can seem difficult to do so in our hectic family schedules. Hosting an exchange student brings the world to you! I would like to encourage not only our Chapelgate Christian Academy families but also our surrounding Christian community to consider being a host family for an international student for this coming school year. You do not have to have a student at the Academy in order to be a host family. We have Chapelgate Academy families, Christian families who homeschool, and Christian families who have students in public school that have all participated in this ministry.
