Everyone is invited to join us. You do not have to sew. We need cutters, ironers...there is something for EVERYONE to do. This is also a great opportunity for fellowship while doing something to benefit others in our community!

CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL - 10:30 to 11:00 am - We want to help families with children engage in their faith journey. Our goal is to assist parents and caregivers in helping children establish a strong foundation in their Christian faith. We are committed to creating a fun, safe, and welcoming space for children to learn and develop their relationship with God.

PATHFINDERS is a discussion class that meets in Room 109 in the Education Building. Fellowship begins at 9:30am class study at 9:45am. We are people with diverse interests, and about a 30-year age span, but all are here to learn what God would teach us, either from His Word, or from the inspiration of those who also love Him. If you have been considering joining a Sunday school class, this is the perfect time to check out the Pathfinders’ class. You will not regret it!

HIS G.R.O.U.P. is composed of a group of people of all ages, single & married that meet in Room 114 of the Worship Center to study the Bible. Everyone’s viewpoint is important, so we have lots of discussions on different topics. We love food so we rotate who brings breakfast and coffee is always ready! Other than our weekly class we support many things, but our first consideration is the Ebenezer Preschool. Knowing many of the children don’t hear about Jesus except in this school is what pushes us on to help in any way we can. We also enjoy fellowship with each other outside of Sunday School.

The Food Pantry at Rockdale Emergency Relief is in need of canned and dry foods. Donations of food can be placed in the basket next to the sound booth in the Chapel. Donations are taken to the RER donation center at least once a month. A few reminders about food and supply donations:

RER does NOT accept items that are past their expiration dates. RER is a non-profit organization that has committed itself to standards that parallel those of grocery stores and therefore does not distribute expired food products.
RER accepts food in good condition that is free of dents and spoilage.
RER tries to bring the full grocery store experience to all clients to provide more than

food. We accept items such as toiletries, cleaning products, dishwashing liquid, and laundry soap.

The following items are in short supply, greatest needs are highlighted:

CEREAL, BEEF STEW, CHICKEN&DUMPLINGS, JELLY, CHILI, CRACKERS, OATMEAL, MAC & CHEESE, GRITS, CANNED CHICKEN, CANNED TOMATOES, SPAGHETTI SAUCE, SPAGHETTI NOODLES, DEODORANT, SHAMPOO

Thank you for your support!
