One of our greatest joys at St. Paul’s is to participate in the “Adopt a Rat” program at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI). Local families and churches in the Lexington, VA area host new, first-year cadets (called “Rats”) for a Sunday respite from the intense training, offering them a home-cooked meal, a quiet environment, and emotional support during their challenging “Rat Line” period. After worship yesterday, Sunday Sept. 6, we had an impromptu pizza lunch and a time for some of our St. Paul’s members to fellowship with our new “rats” and other cadets the LORD has brought us. We are so blessed by the dedication of these young people and pray the LORD will bless them through our church. Thanks be to GOD!
