Sunday School and Worship Cancelled: January 13, 2019

The Elders have been monitoring the weather situation throughout the day.   In addition to the national weather reports, a reliable source has informed us that FEMA has issued a winter storm warning for the Northern Virginia and Metro DC area expecting accumulations of snow higher than the projections made earlier, around 5-10 inches, perhaps as much as a foot in areas west of the District.   Snowfall is expected to begin within the next 2-3 hours (around 6 or 7pm) and begin increasing in intensity around 3 a.m.  Peak hours will be from 6 a.m. until noon on Sunday, with 1-3 inches per hour expected!
Based on this, we believe it is prudent to cancel Sunday School and corporate Worship for tomorrow.

SRPC College and Career Christmas Party: Dec. 21 6PM

There will be a Christmas Party for the SRPC College and Career Group on Dec. 21 from 6-9pm at the McNeills’ home. There will be pizza, Christmas goodies, games, a devotional time, and a white elephant gift exchange.

Each person should bring a wrapped gift for the gift exchange. The rules for the gift exchange are that you must NOT spend any money on the gift. It can be something that you already have that you no longer want or need or it could be something you make or a “re-gift”. Get creative.

Also, OPTIONAL, wear your ugliest or cutest or funniest or tackiest Christmas clothes because there might be prizes for such things.

So we can be sure to get the right amount of food and Christmas goodies, please RSVP to Pastor Matt  by Dec. 19th.
