Spring is *almost* here!

Jim and I (Laura) are expecting our first child in early September. We're thrilled and grateful that God has given us a child, and we covet your prayers for continued health! As God grows my stomach with no help or intervention from me, I'm reminded that RMCC is God's church, and God grows his church by his power alone, for his glory alone, AND at his pace alone. Jim and I are growing in faith and gratitude seeing God work.

The Passport KC planning committee has three events downtown leading up to Easter. Please attend if you live in KC, and spread the word on Facebook. Also, pray the events would develop relationships and spread the Gospel!

• Mother-Daughter Tea on March 25th (link)
• Networking for a Cause on March 28th (link)
• Passport KC Finale: a family-friendly park party with egg hunt on March 31st (link)

Another update on our 2018, Taking Root prayers is that our Community Groups will launch on Easter. We're two-thirds of the way through a training curriculum for the group leaders. Jim and I are being convicted and refined by this same training in gospel-centered community. Starting in April, we'll have four groups meeting weekly to connect, care for, and train up our church family. Please pray for the church members and our non-Christian neighbors who sign up to participate in a community group!

Our family warms up in front of the fireplace waiting for worship to start.
