RGC IS GOING TO CAMP THIS SUMMER!  

It’s time again for swimming, hiking, nature, and more of Jesus! We are teaming up with Shepherd’s Fold Ranch to give all our students an amazing opportunity to grow closer to God while enjoying all that he created. RGC week for all age groups will be June 19-25, 2022. There will be day camp and overnights available, as well as scholarships available. Everything you need is online at http://www.shepherdsfoldranch.com, including applications and any information you may need. We also will be having a representative from SFR coming during the morning services on Sunday, March 27, to answer any questions you may have concerning SFR.

Students in grades 6-12 are invited to join their friends in silliness galore on Sunday, March 6th from 6pm – 7:45pm. Students may watch or participate in blindfolded challenges in which people literally put their feet in different containers of unknown substances, attempting to guess what the mystery substances are. Prizes will be awarded. Dinner will be served (the cost is $5/student).  Please RSVP by March 1st. For more info: call/text/email Samuel Talla at samuelt@rivergatetulsa.org/918-812-3634.

Good Friday CrossWalk (Fri, April 15th, 2022)

RGC Youth Students (grades 6-12) are invited to participate in our annual Good Friday outreach as we make a statement to the city of Tulsa without saying much at all. Starting at 71st & Memorial, we’ll carry a large wooden cross all the way to the church (71st & Riverside) along 71st Street, commemorating what Jesus did for us. Students should come dressed for any weather (don’t forget good tennis shoes and sunscreen) and should bring cash to stop for lunch and ice cream. Drop off time is 10am at 71st & Memorial (meet in the parking lot between DXL Clothing & the former Toys-R-Us on the NW corner of the intersection) and pick-up is at 2pm at RGC. Questions? Please contact Samuel Talla at 918-812-3634 or samuelt@rivergatetulsa.org.

Passion of the Christ Movie Night (Sun, April 10th, 2022) 

As we prepare to carry the cross across Tulsa in our annual Good Friday CrossWalk, and as we prepare to celebrate Easter, let us be reminded of why we walk and why we celebrate.  On Sunday evening, March 10th, in the 6pm service, RGC Youth Students will watch Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ.  Because this movie is rated R, students will need to have signed permission slips from their parents/guardians to be able to view it.  We will have snacks (and tissues) on hand.  Questions? Please chat with Samuel Talla at 918-812-3634 or samuelt@rivergatetulsa.org.
