What's Coming Up for RPC YAs?

Howdy YAs!

Just wanted to mention about the RPC Timeline Potluck and a RPC YA RoadTrip coming up.

The RPC TimeLine Potluck, will be after Services on Sunday March 22nd . We'll be enjoying some homestyle delights, looking at church history and archives, and then sharing experiences we've had ourselves. Plan on coming out for this special afternoon in the life of Roxborough Presbyterian. 

 
Spring is coming, and so it's time to plan a RPC YA Road Trip! On Saturday, April 4th, at 3:30pm, we'll leave from the church and travel to Zern's Farmer's Market in Gilbertsville PA.. Enjoy this unique piece of Americana, with a great mix of flea market, PA Dutch baked goods, farm fresh produce and more. We'll have RoadAbode there (If you want a ride up - let Amy or Mike know ASAP) so we'll have Roast Beef Sandwiches available, and if you have a little one, they can relax a bit and read, or watch a movie while you take some time to peruse the wares at Zern's. We'll also try to plan a challenge for YAs as well. 

A few other Notes:
  • If you want to know what's going on at RPC, you can download the Church Newsletter, The Lamplighter at www.rpcnet.org . Just look for the link "Current Newsletter"  on the left.
  • re:Fresh is every Wednesday, starting at 7:30pm Uplifting Praise, and learn about the book of Acts. Be refreshed, Mid-week! This week, The Team will be lead by Kathy D.

Enjoying the Snow?

Howdy YAs!

Hope you're all able to enjoy a snow day today. If not - praying you stay safe. 
Just wanted to mention a thought - whatever you are doing today - let your "Christian" Show! 
  • Maybe you can call and check in on an elderly neighbor - make sure they are OK...
  • If you're cleaning off your sidewalk, maybe you can do your neighbors, or of someone whose not as able....
  • Taking a walk to WaWa,  7-11, or CVS - just cause you can? Check with you neighbor who can't get out if they need milk or something....
  • Whatever your doing - take time to "do unto others"

Also - get by a window - watch the snow fall, and read Luke 6:27-45  "Dwell in the Word" for a moment. What words made you stop - or reflect - or say "wha"? Share - and let us know.....

And a reminder - THIS Friday - Aprille & Tim's - 7pm - "Being Christian in our Secular World" Need more info? Let us know!

Prayers and Blessings
Mike & Amy
