Everything Is But a Trust from God

Janelle and Andrew Olson, Noelle, Sofia, Solveig

The Olson family began attending RLC in September of 2021. They were looking for a church home within their community, a place where the circles of their lives (work, school, activities) intersected. They knew they had found their church home when they saw all of the outreach and ministry events offered through RLC. Janelle says that they were impressed with this “ready, set, rich life” that they could be a part of. “There are so many activities that we can engage in.”

The Olson’s have participated in worship, RLC Kids, Serve Sunday events like the Dresser Build and the Soap Scoop, as well as supporting donations to Immigration Resettlement, RLC’s Youth Red-Envelope Fundraiser and gifts to support those affected by the war in Ukraine. 

“How we choose to support our community teaches our kids that everything is but a trust from God. We want to teach them to be generous. When life is so abundant, we don’t have any other choice but to give generously. We want to raise our kids to know they are able to make a difference.”

As we engage in these activities we tell our girls, “This is church, too! Church isn’t about existing inside our four walls, but about making a difference in the world.”
