I have been crucified
with Christ and
I no longer live,
but Christ lives in me.
The life I now live
in the body,

himself for me.

What is Communion about?
Read 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
Communion symbolically connects us to the body
and blood of Jesus Christ. Christ, in the flesh,
died for our eternal salvation and rose again to
bring victory to our lives. Christ’s blood had the
power to raise Jesus from the dead and covers
every sin you have.
Who may partake of Communion?
Anyone who has asked God into their lives and
who has asked forgiveness for their sin.

They can all be applied and paid for elec-

New group forming to help fight
Human Trafficking
The only group in Berks County that has been
working to fight Human Trafficking in our area is
disbanding due to lack of leadership. A few of us
from RCF have met to discuss forming a new
group. We will be attending a special reception
sponsored by the North Star Initiative of Lancas-
ter to see if we can determine what that group is
doing and how they may be able to help us get
something started in Berks County. If you would
be interested in joining this fight, see Lisa.
