Spring Quarter

Hey Everybody,

  Just writing to let you all know what's going on this quarter with RCF, and share some requests for prayer with you. This quarter we're going to study the Parables of Jesus as found in Luke's Gospel, and in addition to the regular Bible study we're adding a Friday Night Film Discussion. We'll be discussing one movie per month, and this quarter we're going to watch "Get Low" on April 22nd. and "The Social Network" on May 13th. We'll be showing the movies @ 6:30ish in the same room we have our Bible study in (Chapman 307). Becky and I have been praying about how to reach a wider group of people, and this seemed to be the way for us to go.
As far as prayer requests are concerned, I'm sure that most of you have heard that Becky is pregnant, and we're expecting in  September, so prayer for her and the kiddo's health, and our finances would be much appreciated!
On a more serious note. Becky's father, Stu Mendelson, had a severe stroke last Saturday morning. He and Sue are up in Portland at OHSU. Please pray for rest and healing for them both. Sue is handling the ordeal quite well, and Becky and I have been blessed to see her faith and resilience displayed under pressure. She's incredible. Stu ain't doing too bad either. He's talking and moving about a little bit, but we're still waiting to see if voluntary movement returns to his left side.

Alright, I think that's it...be sure to watch your mailbox for a newsletter.....
Thanks!
  Matt and Becky
