David Nevue in Concert

2011-04-20T18:53:00.000-07:00

We were so priviliged to have front row seats and see David Nevue in Concert at Hibernia Baptist Church in Fleming Islandwhere he played especially for homeschoolers.

David Nevue is a self taught pianist who began playing at the age of 20. He has written numerous compositions and has released 9 cd's. He relies heavily on the Bible for inspiration for his music while his travels and family also heavily influence his compositions. We were so blessed to sit under his music and speak with him.

Incredible Music! A special thank you from the children of Raiford Road Church. To learn more about David Nevue, you can check out his website at davidnevue.com.

Baker County Sherriff's Office

Baker County Sherriff's Office

Friday, January 21st we had the privilege of touring the Baker County Sheriff's Complex. We were able to view most components of the Sheriff's office that make up the complex. This state of the art facility included a "Natural Disaster" command center within the complex. The kids were able to view the dispatch center where 911 calls are received. We were led down long hallways, many offices, the visitation center, and allowed to the front door of the jail. Many questions were asked and answered by the kind and professional staff.

Macclenny's Nursing and Rehab Center:

The homeschoolers of RRC had the privilege of ministering to the elderly. Handcrafted cards delivering the message of Christ's love were handed out to the residents. The children sang Christmas carols and gave lots of love and hugs!

Ministry Project

2010-10-08T18:55:00.001-07:00

The Care Center

Friday, October 8th, 2010 was our very first ministry/service project. We had the privilege of volunteering at our local Care Center which donates clothing free of charge to the needy. Those seeking clothing leave with something far more valuable. The Gospel is presented to each and every person who enters the door. Here, each individual is counseled and both spiritual and physical needs are met. We had the opportunity to serve and sort clothing for those locally, and those living in Honduras.

Pictured below: Our older volunteers sorting and organizing.

Our younger volunteers.

And the sorting continues.........

A very special thank you to Peggy Gatlin and Sue Quinely for hosting our RRC children and to all of the volunteers who make the Care Center possible.
