RCC Missions

There's a lot to talk about!!! The dates for out next Dominican Republic (DR) Trip have been set. We will be leaving on Saturday, Jan. 19th of 2008 and returning on Sunday, Jan. 27th. The total cost of the trip will be $800 which will include everything but some personal spending money. It may seem like a long way off, but it will be here before you know it, and there are a lot of things to do to be prepared for this adventure. A RCC Mission Trip Team Application must be turned with a 10% deposit by Sunday, May 27th to participate on this trip. Applications will be available on the information table @ the church. Passports are required on this trip. A shedule of team member information meetings to prepare for the trip will be posted soon. If you need information about getting a Passport or have any other questions, contact Jamie @ 828-638-8816 or @ stinkysbaitcompany@yahoo.com.

On Saturday, May 19th- we are volunteering to help Habitat For Humanity do some work.
We will be leaving the church @ 7:00 a.m. that morning and traveling to Monroe, NC to work from 8:30 till about 3:30, putting us back home around 5:00. General tools such as hammers and gloves can be taken, but there are some tools there we can use. You will need to plan on buying lunch in Monroe. (Depending on the progress of the houses being built, we may be doing a variety of jobs such as landscaping, framing or working the the Habitat Resale Store )

There is intrest in doing an overnight outreach this summer while school is out that would be family friendy. (Leave Friday morning - work - stay overnight - work Saturday and drive back home ) If you know of a need within driving distance that RCC could help out with this summer, please contact Jamie.

Don't forget to bring items to put in the barrel in the back of the sanctuary @ church for the Christian Mission!!!!
