Tuesday, December 1 Noon

All RCBC seniors are invited to the Dixon Farm (3340 Little Kelly Road,

Rocky Point) for our Christmas gathering! Please bring an inexpensive

($5) wrapped gift if you wish to participate in the gift exchange.

Monday, December 21

5:45 pm

Join us for this Riley’s Creek tradition as

we sing carols at the homes of some

folks in the community, all the while

receiving a blessing ourselves. Bring a

Christmas goodie to share; we’ll

fellowship together afterwards.

Meet at the church; we’ll finish up at

the home of Justin Kornegay,

226 B.W. Groves Rd., Rocky Point.

Our church has an extraordinary

opportunity to share Christ’s love by

helping to meet the physical, emotional,

and spiritual needs of the local families

of incarcerated parents. If you are able,

please pull a tag from the tree in the back

hallway, purchase the item indicated, and

return the gift UNWRAPPED to the

church by Sunday, December 6.

LOTTIE MOON CHRISTMAS OFFERING

Our task is to fulfill the Great

Commission to reach all nations.

Please respond to the great need by

giving to the LMCO. Your giving

enables missionaries to be sent to

make disciples and multiply churches

among unreached peoples and places

for the glory of God.

REMINDERS... Building & Grounds will not

meet in December. See you next year!

The Church office will be closed December 23-28 for Christmas.
