Better Than All the Rest
Psalm 13

A second common area of prayer seen throughout the Old Testament is the Plea.  Whereas the protest cries out for God’s attention and action regarding something in the world around us, the plea primarily does the same for something uniquely personal to us as individuals.  We cry out to God for help, be it for deliverance, provision, restoration, relief, mercy, or something else, hoping and believing that our prayer will draw God’s attention and move him to action on our behalf.

We want you to know that the ROBC Prayer Group continues to pray.  We seek to continue receiving prayer requests, praises and updates from previous prayer requests.  These should be emailed to cpemble@robc.org. 

The group is now gathering via Zoom on Sunday and Wednesday Mornings at 8:30 AM.  This is another wonderful way we can stay connected during this strange time.

As always, anyone is very welcome to join in this sweet time of prayer.  If you'd like to participate, please email Joe Poff at joe.poff@bakerbotts.com for each meeting's special login info. 

If you like to sing, hum or even whistle, we want you to join us in the Sanctuary Choir!  There are many church attendees who have musical experience from years past, even childhood, who could make a significant impact in worship on Sunday mornings.  Join us on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM and then again on Sunday mornings at 9:40 AM as we lead in worship. 

We guarantee you'll have a great time and make some new friends!

Did you know ROBC has it's own app?  We do, and it is very useful for doing things like listening to sermon podcasts, watching past worship services, and even giving.  If you don't have it yet, be sure to download it at no charge from either the Apple App Store or the GooglePlay App Store by scanning the above QR code with your phone's camera.

Please know the staff of ROBC is praying for you and if we can do anything to help during these unsettling days, please do not hesitate to contact us.
