11.14.18 Rock Update

Good morning!  I'm hoping all our students slept good last night after our RockFeast!  Forks & Flannels was such a success.  The food was also a great success, so much that next year we're considering going with the theme of Spoons and Stretchy Pants.  Seriously, it was so good to be together and share a meal, some laughter, encouragement and good company!   Praying students left with fully bellies and full hearts as we feasted on the generosity from you parents who provided food and also Psalm 100.  I'd encourage you to read it today at some point.  What a great reminder of a few things:

• We must know that the Lord is God!  He's made us and we are His! (v.3)
• In light of this we should enter His gates with thanksgiving and praise! (v.4)
• The Lord is good and His love endures forever! (v.5)

Praying everyone has a great Thanksgiving week and pray our hearts begin to express this thanks daily and not simply for one day/week a year.  The Lord our God is good!

a few things to remember:

• No Rock next week.  Sad I know but it's Thanksgiving Week.  I would encourage you to bring the family to our Sunday night testimony service.  Always a great start to the week of thanks.
• Turkey Bowl - We'll be meeting at the Central Middle School field on Nov. 25th, after the AM service for some flag football.  Grab a quick lunch and head over for some pigskin and pouting!
• Refuel - We are getting real close to our MS Refuel trip.  Please be making those deposits and payments.  Signing up is good but at this point we need you to "show us the money."
• Two weeks from now we'll conclude our series "The Gospel & You" by ending our look at Homosexuality.  You are parents are more than welcome to come.  Great info, direction, wisdom and help from Scripture.  How do we respond to this lifestyle?
• Lastly, another celebration is approaching; Tacky Christmas on December 19th.  We'll discuss a theme shortly but for now....get the tacky stuff ready!
