Have you ever wondered what it’s like to send a loved one off to war and not have the support of the military community because there is no base in your town? Come hear how Blue Star Families of Richmond has filled the void for support of active-duty military families.  Paige Bartholomew, past president, and Eileen Osmolski, a Gold Star Mom who lost her son in Iraq, will be our speakers.

The Virginia Holocaust Museum serves as one of Richmond’s cultural and educational jewels. Jay Ipson, Museum Director and Founder, will recount the story of his family’s escape and liberation from Lithuania, including six months they spent living in a tunnel. The museum’s mission, “Teaching Tolerance through Education” encapsulates its goal to combat intolerance, anti-Semitism, racism, prejudice, fear and hatred with knowledge, understanding, compassion and acceptance. Consider bringing your teen-agers to this program for a survivor’s tale of the Holocaust.

It’s a “Catch-22” since they can’t pay their fines without jobs.  Learn how FPC member Randy Rollins has applied his experience as a lawyer and a caring heart to develop the innovative program, Drive to Work, that works for those in need.

More inspirational programs coming in November . . . STAY TUNED!!

We will not be able to offer regular Wednesday night suppers. We know that this is a significant change and will be a loss to many of us. The suppers have lost several thousand dollars for the last two years, and our church budget has been flat for two years. Therefore, we regret that we cannot to continue to subsidize these meals.
