RR Annual Lights of Christmas: The Royal Rangers have decorated a tree on the backside of the property with lights. Help them turn all the lights red, white, & blue.

There will be a special insert on Sunday, December 21 recognizing each person. RED = our prayers for an unsaved family member or friend; WHITE = in memory or honor of a special person; and BLUE = the prayers for our courageous military personnel.
