The December middle & high schoolers’ night is on Saturday, December 21st from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Kims’ home. We’ll have a devotion, games, and we’ll hold a classic gift exchange; bring a wrapped gift costing $10 or less.
Ministry Opportunity: A widow who recently relocated about 2 miles from SRPC is in need of a ride to and from worship service. She lives near Harris Teeter at the Prince William Parkway/Hoadly Road intersection. She uses a scooter to get around, but it easily folds and can be placed in the trunk. If you are able to periodically provide a ride please let Ralph Bentley know. He hopes to put together a list of 8 to 12 volunteers. This would result in volunteers only providing a ride every 2 to 3 months. It would involve contacting her a day or two before and providing your contact information and confirming she will be attending service.
This is a great opportunity to serve the Lord by helping someone in need. Please consider volunteering.
Due to the holidays there will be no Tuesday Suppers/Prayer Meetings on December 24th and December 31st.
