Girl’s Day Out

Lunch at Macaroni Grill then a visit to the Chocolate Factory to make our own chocolate candy.

On Thursday, October 30th, we’ll celebrate Halloween at RPC by hosting Trunk or Treat.

Here’s how it works: bring your car, some candy, some lawn chairs and decorate your trunk! You can find themes all over the internet by googling “Trunk or Treat Themes.” (Make sure to think of matching costumes for the people in your car!) Click here for some theme ideas with photos. We’ll line up all the cars and let the kids go from trunk to trunk collecting candy. Don’t worry if your theme spills out of your trunk, the more creative, the better!

Make sure to bring TONS of candy! This is for the RPC kids and the kids in the community.

Trunk or Treat begins at 6:00 PM and lasts until 8:00 PM.

Leave us a comment and let us know that you’re coming!

This Sunday we began a new series called ‘Welcome to Worse.’ Remember your wedding vows, where you promised to be there?  For better or for worse…Well what do you do when worse gets here? How do we handle tough times in marriage?

This week we looked at Galatians 6:7-10 and learned that we cannot become weary in doing good, even though that’s an easy thing to do (‘cause doing the right thing is not easy, right?). We were also reminded of the timeless principle that if you sow corn, you reap grapes….er, wait. You reap what you sow. ALWAYS. So if you sow corn, you reap corn. If you sow hate, you reap hate. If you sow love, you reap love. It’s a timeless principle. BUT, if you give up, you might be walking away right before the light at the end of the tunnel, so we cannot grow weary in doing good. DON’T GIVE UP.

Next week, we’ll be taking a look at the different roles in marriage, and how they affect your household. Stay tuned…big things coming at RPC.
