We are in the midst of RPC's mission campaign, 2nd Mile for Mission. 2nd Mile for Mission is RPC's annual Mission Outreach giving campaign, where every dollar goes out the door to directly benefit our local and global mission partners. This is above and beyond the General Operating Fund.
What better way to be a part of the mission than to also give and serve as a family! Here are some ways your family can participate through Children's Ministry.
Children's Ministry Families, we have two special mission opportunities planned with our local mission partners for this spring that we hope your family will participate with.
1.) We will be collecting items to create "Welcome Home" baskets for families at HomeStretch. HomeStretch "guides working, homeless families to a place of permanent stability" and often these families have very few possessions besides clothes. Items that we can include in these welcome baskets are: kitchen linens, cleaning supplies, detergent, dish soap, personal hygiene items (bars of soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.). We will have boxes to collect these items on the elementary hall. Please bring all donations in by May 3rd.
2.) Saturday, May 2nd Children's Ministry will participate in the Drake Walk which is a community walk for The Drake House. The Drake House helps homeless mothers and their children get back on their feet. The walk will begin in the Roswell United Methodist Church parking lot and will take place in historic Roswell. Those participating through Children's Ministry, will park and meet at 8:45am on May 2nd in the north parking lot of RPC (near the playground) and walk to RUMC as a group. All participants must register and pay online through RPC, click the link for registration. Cost is $10 per person.
Please let Tricia Patterson know if your family is planning to attend the walk so we can be looking for you!
