Ideas for January -

A discussion on "What is, and How to Manage Stress" Friday, January 9th 7pm at the Annex Building at RPC What's Stressfull to you? How can we alleviate some of that Stress? Let's discuss it!

We'll start with pizza, then discuss.

Let's support the RPC Mission Trip 2009! How about a hoagie lunch - Hoagie coupons from WAWA support the Mission Trip - after services on Sunday, January 18th 2009, then a trip to the Philadelphia Art Museum (low or no cost) to discuss and learn about "Christianity thru Art - The Symbolism of the Christian Faith in Artistic Works through the Centuries" After that short guided tour - we can peruse the other areas of the museum on our own.

Ideas for February-

Let's support the RPC Mission Trip 2009! How about a hoagie lunch (We like hoagies! ) - Hoagie coupons from WAWA support the Mission Trip - after services on Sunday, February 8th 2009 a trip to the Valley Forge RV Show . Why the RV show? Well, it is something Amy and I enjoy, and we like to share.. See and sit in "rigs" or all shapes, styles, and sizes...from a $1000 dollars to a million! Kind of like the car show, only some of the cars have big screen TVs,. couches, kitchens and beds! Who knows, one day - you may like this lifestyle. (We do!) Cost for the RV Show is $7 (coupon ) at the door. If you want a ride there - let us know.

Another way to support the RPC Mission Trip? Enjoy our Annual Agape Feast, Saturday evening, February 21st. 2009. A wonderful dinner, and a enjoyable music revue! We've seen The Blues Brothers, The Beatles, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Sonny and Cher... Whose Next? Come and find out! The "Mission Trippers" will be selling tickets - so see them, or contact the Granato Family for information.

We'd love to hear how you are doing, the good and the bad, the triumphs or tragedies ...just send us a note!

Grace to you all,

Amy & Mike K.

Awesome Time in Lancaster!

Though our numbers were few, we had a great time in Lancaster, Shopping, discovering facts about how Christmas is celebrated around the world, and enjoying some amazing food at Shady Maple.

The Weather was much colder and a bit more snowy and windy than we expected!

Once we got to the Rockvale Outlet, we parked by the playground, and started setting up for coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. We did some shopping, while the little ones played in the snowy playground, and watched some Veggie Tales.

Around 12:30p or so, we had lunch, served by Amy, of hotdogs, chili, and macaroni and cheese. dessert was homemade spice cake with cream cheese icing.

We did some more bargain hunting until about 2:30p, then headed to the National Christmas Center, in Paradise PA.

We enjoyed seeing scenes from Christmas Past, like a re-creation of an the original FW Woolworth Store.

Other fun things experienced were Scenes from Christmas Traditions from around the world, a Christmas village of anatromic animals with a storybook style, and a three-tiered train layout under the base of an imaginary tree.

After all the "commercial" aspects of Christmas, it was wonderful to see the collection of nativity sets from around the world, and a huge diorama depicting Jesus' birth.

Lastly, we were able to experience, even if onl a bit, what it would have been like for Mary and Joseph on their peril-filled Journey to Bethlehem. A wonderful start to the Christmas Season!

After our tour of the National Christmas Center, we made our way through the rolling Lancaster farmland to enjoy a wonderful meal at Shady Maple. Quite a full day of sharing fun together!

YAs Pizza Nite!

Last night we had a great time with the RPC YAs at Mike & Amy's home. If you were one of the ones that came out, thanks for sharing the evening with us! If you couldn't make it - you missed a nice night hanging out and discussing home finance and budgeting basics and just fun getting to know each other. There were plenty of Pizza, snacks and drinks to go around, and thanks to Kimmie B for bringing some awesome cream puffs! Even our "little ones" were able to have a time to socialize with each other. Was kind of cool that we just sat so long and chatted, we never got to watch the movie we planned!
