BREVARD CITRUS GLEANING is Saturday morning, January 30, 2010, 8:00 AM to 12:00 Noon, leaving RPC at 7:30 AM. I will lead a group to pick citrus for the Society of St. Andrew in north Brevard. The fruit picked gets distributed to homeless shelters and food banks throughout Florida. It is a fun time to help out those who are less fortunate. Sign up in the South hallway. Contact Thad Martin @ 633-3116 for more info. TODAY IS BLANKET SUNDAY Church World Service responds to disasters at home and around the world to provide basic tools to assist impoverished communities. When disaster strikes, people need more than blankets; they need shelter, food, safe water, tools, and training to help rebuild their lives. Blanket + means that Church World Service is there for the long haul as people recover from a disaster. Please give generously for those in need around the world. RPC annually sends over one thousand dollars for this program, which at $5.00 each, buys lots of blankets.
