Conversations is the church-wide RBC production which takes place annually the week before Easter. All about stories, Conversations is a performance incorporating elements of music, drama, and real life testimonies – all interwoven into a unified production.  The ultimate goal of Conversations is to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ clearly in a non-threatening environment to those who may otherwise not attend church.

This year, Conversations took place on a city street – complete with a billboard, café, movie theater, vendor cart, and an impressive street band.  With a balance of humor and emotional intensity, the scenes told stories of scavenger hunts, forgotten anniversaries, blind dates, awkward meetings with “the in-laws”, and long days.

Our band performed a great mix of songs – from artists like U2, The Beatles, Coldplay, and Jackson Browne and others.  And the real life stories were powerful accounts of God’s loving pursuit of individuals and families… through His provision, redemption, reconciliation, and satisfaction.

This year, about 3300 people attended Conversations throughout the week!  There were well over 300 people who participated as volunteers, doing everything from baking, to serving coffee, to providing childcare!

As we reflect back on the week, we continually see the grace of God in every step of the process. He is faithful to remind us that we are overwhelmingly dependent on Him and that His word will not return void.

Thank you to everyone who participated in volunteering, attending, and inviting your friends and family to Conversations this year.  We trust that God will use this production for His glory and look forward to seeing what He will accomplish with the seeds that were planted through this production!
