This not only provides the necessary staffing, but it also demonstrates the parents’ belief in the importance of Christian nurture.
One parent or guardian must remain on campus at all times while their child or children are participating in the onCore program, even if the parent's volunteer shift has already been completed earlier in the evening.

Volunteers Needed for the Exceptional Children's Program
Sundays starting in August during Sunday School
The Exceptional Children's Program is seeking volunteers to serve once a month as a shadow for one of our exceptional children who thrives in Sunday School with a buddy by their side.
Below is information about the program:
Shadows are paired with one of our exceptional children who needs a buddy during Sunday School (9:30 - 10:30) while their parents attend church service.
Each team has four Shadows, so the time commitment is one Sunday per month.
If you need to switch Sundays due to travel, etc. - that is totally fine! Our teams are very good about swapping as needed.
Training is provided so Shadows are equipped with the information they need to support their child.
If you are interested in serving as a Shadow, please email rpcshadowing@gmail.com, and Program Coordinators Jenny Huffman and Kelly Frommer will be in touch.

Living the Fourth Quarter - with Spirit
Sundays, September 7 until October 26
9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Alderman Hall
“Living the Fourth Quarter – with Spirit” is designed to help you reflect on your life, navigate the mixed emotions of entering (or being in) the Fourth Quarter, and embrace this phase with intentionality, purpose, and spirit by pursuing long-held dreams at last. This course goes beyond abstract ideas by providing tools for self-reflection and decision-making. It blends philosophy and practicality, balancing introspection with actionable steps to transition from full-time employment to the greater freedom of retirement. The course is not about regret or fear of aging, but instead emphasizing potential for growth and enjoyment in your latter years
We will use “The Fourth Quarter of Your Life…embracing what matters most” By Allen Hunt & Matthew Kelly available from Amazon and other retailers.
Also recommended: “No Regrets… A fable about living your fourth quarter intentionally” by the same authors.
You can purchase your book on Amazon using the link below. If you need help ordering your book, contact Teri Kish at teri@roswellpres.org.
