Ash Wednesday
Make plans to join Ridge Road on Wednesday, February 18th, at 6:00 PM in the sanctuary for a traditional Ash Wednesday service. This year, we’ll also take part in the ritual of communion as we reflect on life, sacrifice, and community at the start of Lent. Please join us for this powerful and contemplative time together.
Three Songs worship at RRBC
You’re invited to worship at Ridge Road Baptist Church for a special tradition we call “Three Songs”. We’ll contemplate melodies, harmonies, and tempos as we consider how music speaks to our faith in ways that words alone cannot. We’ll also consider tunes that don’t traditionally make their way into worship experiences.
Ridge-wide Trivia Night
Join us for a community-wide, brain-quizzing trivia night in the chapel. We’re serving up soups and sides before the game begins to keep you warm on these cold nights. Teams of 6 will compete to win gift cards to Two Roosters ice cream. Just met your teammates? Don’t worry! Each member of the top two teams will win their own gift card! See you in the chapel at 5:30PM!
