Seasonal Activities
* Back to School Celebration – Each year prior to the school year in August, the RBA Woman’s Missionary Union provides backpacks and school supplies for a “Back-to-School” Celebration at the Center. The purpose of the Celebration is to provide needed school supplies and encouragement to area children as they begin a new school year. Click here for a copy of the 2010 Centers Back to School flier.
* Christmas Store – The South Richmond Center and Oregon Hill Baptist Center join together in early December to provide a wonderful ministry which allows parents, in their respective communities, to Christmas shop for their children 12 and under. For a donation of $5.00 per child parents can select a coat or outfit (top and bottom); hat, gloves, socks and underwear; large and small toy; and books. The Store is stocked from generous donations from the RBA Churches and individuals. Click Here for a copy of the 2009 RBA Baptist Centers' Christmas Store promo flier.
