Hello, parents! I am excited to share another special video with you and your children. This lesson is about the God-given superpower we can all use — encouraging those around us.
To go along with this video, we would like to encourage your kiddos to go through this lesson on Barnabas the Encourager. He was a great example of encouraging others.

Hello, parents! I’m happy to be back with another special Bible lesson for your kiddos. We’re going to talk about one of my favorite things in the world — boating. More specifically, we’ll talk about the importance of having a good anchor while on a boat and also in life.
When we experience a storm in life, God is the hope and anchor for our souls. Hebrews 6:19 says, “This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls.”

Hi, Rock Church! I’ve got a question for you, “It’s Sunday, August 2 at 10:00 a.m. – do you know where your church service is?”
If you said, “It’s in the sanctuary of The Rock Church building,” you would be wrong!
In an effort to accommodate more people at our Sunday services and have room for plenty of social distancing, The Rock Church pastors have gotten creative. We’ve decided to move our Sunday service to our north lawn!

The pastors have made the decision to reopen our weekend worship services to the public on the weekend of June 20 & 21! We will meet at our regular times (6:00 p.m. on Saturday, 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. on Sunday). There is no pressure to attend — we totally understand if you can’t. But, we’d love to have you join us if you feel ready and are comfortable.
In light of this reopening, we’d like to share some of the changes you can expect when you arrive back in our building. First, our heart is to honor Jesus and to keep our flock safe by heeding some basic social distancing guidelines from our state, federal and medical leaders. Keeping that in mind, here are just a few of the restrictions that we will implement as we reopen. (Note: These Guidelines are only temporary until we are confident that we can move ahead safely.)

Dear Church, Together with you, we continue to be troubled by the events in our world regarding race and racism. Naturally, there are multiple voices we turn to in these times of uncertainty. For example, many of us turn to our favorite author or speakers. Some of us look to our news outlets, social media feeds or friends/family for direction. Though many of these are fine resources, as your pastors, we would encourage you (above all other resources), to let the Word of God lead you.
Even in our restlessness, our fears and our questions, God’s Word remains the same. Truly, the Word of God is alive and powerful!

Have you sensed that now, more than ever, we need the hope of Jesus? In unbelievable ways, our culture is divided, scared, enraged and much like a sheep without a shepherd.
Together with you, we are heartbroken over the racial divides, injustices, murders, riots, bigotry, fear and hate spreading across our country. Like you, we are saddened and seeking Jesus for an appropriate response to somehow speak love to our brothers and sisters who have had to live with racism and hate in ways many of us will never know. How do we tell them that we love them without it seeming small? How do we become more involved without it seeming trite?

Hello, Rock Church! The pastors asked me to update you on the status of The Rock Church Reopening. Many of you have been asking, and we have some great news. We are planning on reopening our church building to the public on the weekend of June 20 & 21!

I want to tell you about an unseen blessing that is going on right now. During this crisis, our Children’s Director, Phil Hahn, has taken advantage of this time to remodel some classrooms for the children of The Rock Church. Similarly, God is preparing a room in Heaven for us — His children.

Recently, during one of our weekend services, we looked at The Triumphant Entry in Mark 11. The Jewish people had their own timeline for when the Messiah should save them from the Romans. They tried making a King of their own creation.
Likewise, we can do the same thing, right? We have our own timeline for how we want life to return to normal. It can be easy to get angry — even at the King — when things don’t go the way we want them to during this time.
