School Supplies Collection
August 6, 2014 By
Outreach continues to focus on providing school supplies to children attending Rosa Parks Elementary School as school doors will again be opening in just a few weeks. Please make donations of school supplies: pencils, rulers, paper, crayons, glue, etc., we have found there is always a need for tissues and hand sanitizers. For many children at Rosa Parks Elementary this is the only way they have the supplies they need. So, please give generously. Thank you!

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
April 17, 2014 By
First Christian is holding its’ first ever “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” event on May 17th at 6:00 p.m. This is an event designed for our membership to become better acquainted. The premise is a group of “hosts” entertain a random and secret group of guests. Signup sheets will be made available to choose if you would like to be a guest, a host, or either. The Hosts will be chosen and notified of the number attending their dinner (not to exceed 6 persons). The names and assignments of the guests will be kept confidential until the day before the dinner. The coordinators will email or call the guests and let them know the address of dinner. The host will provide the main course and beverages; the guests will be assigned either a side dish or dessert. The tighter the secret the more fun. Let the fun begin!!Summer Camp
