Services will be held inside this Friday, February 25th.
COVID-19 UPDATE According to the latest data which only updates on Wednesday’s and is the 7 day average from the Wednesday before through the current Tuesday, we are at 38 cases per 100K and 9.2% positive test rate for Hillsborough County. To be at moderate transmission rate over all which is what is recommended to not require masks, we need less than 50 cases per 100K (which we are at) and less than 8% positive test rate. The positive test rate has dropped 4% every week recently. Because of the lag in data reporting, we do feel like the actual percent positive rate will be less than 8% this weekend based on current treads. Therefore, masks will be optional at services this weekend for vaccinated people.
HUGE thank you to everyone who attended and supported Casino Royale. What a great evening of food, drinks, gaming, bidding, and friendship under the stars. Check out Rodeph’s Facebook page for lots of fun photos from the night. Between the Las Vegas Showgirl, table games, champagne wheel, and our silent auction, the night was a huge success with more than $30,000.00 raised!

After losing his job at a salad bar because of his weight, Herzl (Itzik Cohen), a morbidly obese Israeli, finds new employment washing dishes safely out of view from patrons in the kitchen of a Japanese restaurant. When Herzl's coworkers and new boss, Kitano (Togo Igawa), introduce him to sumo wrestling, he realizes he has found his calling. Energized, Herzl orchestrates a mutiny among the miserable ranks of a local weight-loss boot camp to recruit members for his own sumo wrestling club.
