Your contribution to the Janie Chapman State Missions Offering can help us reach our goal of $10,000 by October 2.  The goal represents the annual cost of supporting one college student in the Palmetto Collective.  Rocky Creek has had several students participate in Palmetto Collective over the past few years, and we have been blessed through this relationship.  Consider what you would like to give for this important offering.  You can give online, mark your envelope for Janie Chapman, or write Janie Chapman in the memo line of your check.

During the week of September 11 – 18, you can pray for a number of State Mission opportunities.
