Penny Lane Goes Online!


Penny Lane, the infamous Australian Shepherd who is the subject of the children's sermon each week, is online! Her parents left town for a few days, and she's staying at the Pet Safe Village (http://www.petsafevillage.com/) in Knoxville, TN. Go to: http://12.198.248.30/jpegview.htm and choose Camera 4. As long as she's not playing outside, you can see Penny Lane!

(Note to users: Java is required to utilize the webcam feature.)

Come to church this Sunday to see what Penny Lane encountered at the Pet Safe Village!

Deacons Announce Christmas Ministry


Matthew says Jesus came "not to be served, but to serve." Because the Deacons at RPC feel a desire to serve God and neighbors who have served them so generously, they are once again helping a family who cannot afford Christmas presents for their children. They adopted a family of three--a one year old male, a six year old female, and their single, working mother. You are invited to be part of this giving tradition by either contributing money to the Deacons (before December 17 when they will go shopping for the children) or buying a gift yourself (please bring to the church for delivery no later than December 21).

The one year old boy wears size 3T and is need of a coat and outfits. He also loves cars/trucks and educational toys. The six year old girl wears size 7/8 shirts and size 8/10 coats and needs both. Hannah Montana is her favorite star, and she adores purple, pink, and green.

Thank you for supporting children in our community who are in need.
