Season of Thanksgiving

It is the season when many people spend time reflecting on their blessings. It’s a time when many will look for ways to give back to the community with time. You don’t have to look to far to give back this year. Here are just a few ways to help in our community.
Adopt a family 4 the Holidays – If you don’t have a family from NR to adopt, ask God to lead you to someone in your neighborhood or work place that is struggling and bless them this year.

Coats 4 kids!

The Children’s and Student’s Ministry of RPC have been collecting winter coats for kids throughout the month of October. Through the generous donations, 145 coats were received! Coats went to students at Pink and Sequin Elementary, Wessendorf Middle School and Helping Hands. Thinking of others will keep 145 kids warm in the cold days ahead!

Last Construction for the year!

For the final construction project, we will be installing a new roof for one of the North Richmond residents.  No experience is necessary!  Bryce Dickinson and William Hajdik will be leading this home project and need some hands to accomplish this with ease.  Please contact Becky Watts if you can serve on Saturday, November 13 on this project.

A gift that keeps on giving

One of the many issues facing many residents of North Richmond and Fort Bend is that of literacy, being able to read and write; and the ability to speak English.  Seventy-five percent of unemployed adults have reading and/or writing difficulties (National Institute for Literacy). One of the ways we are addressing these issues is through a partnership with the Literacy Council of Fort Bend.

All prospective volunteers must train with the Literacy Council of Fort Bend. The next training is scheduled for November 8, 10 & 13. For more information Literacy Council of Fort Bend.

If you are unable to train in November, you can still assist in the classrooms.   Currently we have volunteers leading ESL and GED classes at Calvary Church on FM 762 and helping with LCISD Project Learn. To find out more or to volunteer in this area please contact Becky Watts
