11.29.17 Rock Update

Well, the last day of November is upon us and it feels as though we just got out of school.  With the start of December and the Christmas season comes many things for you to know about.  So listen closely and read carefully so you don't miss a thing!

• Christmas Wish - This year our ministry will be taking up money to bless a family this Christmas.  We'll be taking up an offering at The Rock each Wednesday.  We know everyone is taxed already but we do encourage students to say no to a treat and yes to being a blessing.  Maybe we can sacrifice a coffee or whatever to spend that $5 on making a kid smile.  Something to consider.
• WHITE CHRISTMAS - Another way we're seeking to help this year is by partnering with 415 Hope House to provide some things they need.  One thing they mentioned was dishwashing pods for their dishwasher.  Crazy request maybe but it's their request.  So we'll be taking this up for the next 3 weeks to give to this great ministry as they provide housing, training and love to men in need.  So bring in those pods!
• Tacky Christmas Party - DECEMBER 13th - come dressed tacky for a night of Christmas fun and celebrating!
• Middle School Refuel - Dec. 18-20 - Pigeon Mountain Retreat, Lafayette, GA.   $85    This is a great retreat and we need signups.   The deadline for sign-ups and $20 deposits is next week, Dec. 6th.   For more info email chris@roopvilleroad.org
• High School Refuel - January 12-15 - Florida Beaches.  $125                                             Also a great retreat with some time in the Word, refueling!                                     Deadline for sign ups for this trip is December 13th. 
• HIGH SCHOOL HANGOUT AND BONFIRE - This Friday @ 7pm, bring a snack & drink.
• We've postponed the MS Bonfire and opted for a Lock-In sometime in January.

Last Night

We finished our "FOLLOW" series last night.  It is such a huge deal to know and understand what it means to follow Christ.  It's more than a prayer, it's a way of life.  It starts with a commitment and understanding that Jesus is Lord but then it's a walk that screams that He is Lord.  We're not perfect, we fail, we sin, we fall short, but in that we should strive to please Him.  Am I following Christ?
The other side of "FOLLOW" is the fact that there are people who are following you.  The question is this:  What do the ones following you see?

It was a great yet challenging night as we finished up the series.  
​The sermon notes are attached.

Follow, Week 3
