RRPC offers the Youth Fellowship Group for children in grades six through 12 (middle and high school). The group provides opportunities for learning through Bible study, mission projects, retreats, and service to the Church. We have occasional off-site activities, such as bowling or hiking. The group is staffed by volunteer advisors, under the direction of our Director of Christian Education.

When & Where Do They Meet? The Youth Fellowship Group meets every second and fourth Sunday of each month throughout the school year, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in RRPC’s Youth Room.

Won’t You Join Us? This is a great place for youth of all ages to take part in educational, social, and religious activities. All activities are designed to help youth and students grow in faith. The ministry focuses on strengthening the bonds they have with God and each other. Whether you are a long-time member of RRPC, or are looking for a place to jump in, the Youth Fellowship Group is a wonderful opportunity to become a member of our Church family! Come join a meeting any time!!

Does RRPC Offer a Youth Mission Trip?  For several years, RRPC organized Youth Mission Trips to broaden perspectives and expose youths to different cultures and ways of life. Like many activities, these trips ground to a halt as a result of the COVID pandemic. As RRPC learns and grows under the leadership of our Transitional Pastor, and through our process of seeking a new Called Pastor, we will evaluate how they fit into the Church’s mission going forward. Check back for more information on a potential, future trip. Youth Mission Trip (stay tuned).

News:

Those that were available went to the North Church on December 6 to help make up hygiene bags.  We enjoyed the event knowing that we and the donations from RRPC were going to those who need them.  They will be delivered to two large shelters and available to those who attend North Church if needed.  After the bags were filled and prepared, breakout groups formed to continue discussing what other churches are doing to help their communities.  It was delightful to meet new people and share ideas on how we can collectively work together to help our brothers and sisters.

We are grateful for all the warm accessories that you donated to our mitten tree.  Thank you for helping to keep others warm in these cold months ahead.  We will be taking these to North Church.  If there are ample donations, we may be able to share some with another organization.

Please mark your calendar for Shove Tuesday, (Mardi Gras) February 17^th.  The youth will be holding their annual Pancake Supper.  Last year was a fun evening with food, fellowship, music and dancing.  We had fabulous volunteers helping the youth with this.  😊  If you are interested in assisting the youth please contact Brenda Peterson. bpeterson@riverpres.org
