VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL July 15 – 18, 2019 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM The Raleigh Court Presbyterian Church Time Machine awaits us! Join the adventure and travel back in time to learn about Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Paul. Let’s walk with them on their journeys! What did they see? How did they live? What mattered most to them? We will learn about the lands where they traveled. What were those places like then? And what is modern day Turkey, Egypt, Israel, and Italy like today? Rising Pre-K to Rising 5th graders are invited on this adventure back in time! Register today at rcpres.org Come explore the stories of the Bible and the gifts found in God’s hands around the world!

Summer is just around the corner and that means our programs at the church shift. This includes a break for our sanctuary choir. For the months of June and July, we are going to have church instrumentalists play and share their gifts in worship. We’ll also have some vocal solos and quartets. The music will be beautiful and will inspire our hearts to the Word. The month of August, then, is the “Y’all Come” choir. This year we’re going to sing all the Sundays in August. If you’ve ever wanted to try the choir but didn’t have the time to make the weekly commitment during the year, this is the perfect opportunity. This year there will be one rehearsal on July 24 from 7:30 to 9:30 PM. In this rehearsal we will learn all four anthems. If you’re only available to sing one or two of the four Sundays, I’d encourage you to come to the rehearsal. You’ll have a good time and you’ll learn some new music. Who knows, perhaps you’ll want to stay in the choir…..permanently. The call time on Sunday during August is 9:15. We warm up our voices, we review the anthem, and then sing at the 10:00 AM service. If you’re interested, please feel free to email me at mitch@rcpres.org or to call me at the church. 540-343-5541 ext. 105. We hope to see you this summer as we sing to the Lord!
