First Presbyterian Church Rock Hill
OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS

We will be starting a Church Mouse Program for our college students in September.
We ask that all college students please fill out the attached form with your updated
information and return it to the church office as soon as possible. If anyone is interested
in becoming a sponsor or would like to sponsor a college student this year,
please call the church office at (803) 328-2467.
What is the Church Mouse Program?
It is similar to a secret pal program in which our members are the mice quietly sending
special items, cards, and staying in touch with our college students while they are
away. Once you sign up to be a Church Mouse, a college student will be assigned to
you for the school year. Do not reveal yourself to your college student until the end of
the school year. Below are a few suggestions your college student might like:

Send a get-acquainted letter along with a gift (provided by the Christian Education
Committee). Tell briefly about yourself, but be careful not to give yourself away.
Magazines or paperback books
Gift cards for a little something from as store like
Target or Wal-Mart Stamps, postcards or stationary
Letters from everyone
Money for a movie, pizza or movie rental
Pocket change for a Coke or ice cream
Card (birthday, holidays, etc.) or a note of
encouragement
A small notebook
A special South Carolina memento
How about making a little stuff sack? College students always need little stuff sacks (soup, hot
chocolate, macaroni & cheese, etc.)Some baked goods like brownies or cookies.
Try to send a goodie box at exam times during the year
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MAILINGS SHOULD HAVE THE CHURCH’S RETURN ADDRESS
SO THAT YOU DO NOT REVEAL YOUR IDENTITY:
