2.28.18 Rock Update

3/1/2018

Happy Spring!  And just as I type that the temperature begins to plummet and we're all brought back to the harsh reality of winter.  Maybe not!

We have a ton of stuff coming up in the next few weeks and we'll get to that in a moment. Before we get to that I'd like to recap our time together last night and our series "Not a Fan."

This series is a gut punch spiritually but also a reality check.  The series is designed to properly define what it means to follow Christ.  What are Jesus' expectations of us following Him?  Last night we looked at the cost involved in following.  There was an illustration that helped us see Jesus desires to be the center, not a component.  He desires to be the dresser not one simple drawer that goes into the dresser.  Jesus can't be one of many things we do, He must be the thing we are and hope to pursue.  Everything else falls into line behind Him, in Him, because of Him.  Until we see that and buy into that we are simply fans of Jesus, not a follower of Him.  Hard truths.  For more hard truths I'd encourage you to read our passage from last night, Luke 14:25-33 and ask this....what poit is Jesus trying to make?  What is required of a disciple?

Upcoming Events

March is going to be busy and it all gets started this weekend with the GIMC.
  • March 3rd - 8am-10am BIG INVITE HANDOUT at the CUPCAKE CHASE (Central Middle).  This is a great opportunity for us to make contact with hundreds of people.  This will be The Rock SM's big invite project.  We will have a booth set up in the gym and will need as many as possible to come help meet people and pass out the BIG INVITE cards at the booth and then among the crowd.  So meet us in the gym, grab some cards and then go to passing out.  We will stay as long as we have cards and/or people to give them out to that morning.
  • March 3rd - 6:30p - THE ROCK - This is our time we have with our missionary, Luke Milam from the Blake House.  We will have pizza and drinks and are asking for students to bring a dessert and/or a gift card for the missionary.  We will hangout, play, and talk with our missionary until 8pm.
  • March 7th - The SPRING FLING dodgeball tournament - 6:30P.    This is something new we're trying in an effort to bring friends who are unchurched and need to hear the gospel.  This is an outreach thing with some dodgeball thrown in there.  We will start early, 6:30p, with some pizza and free time in the gym and then we'll split up into teams for some good ole dodgeball.  We'll also have some time for a student testimony and then a clear gospel presentation.  Please have your student here, please be willing to pick up some extra kids, please be praying for a harvest.
  • March 16th - THE HANGOUT - our monthly hangout time for our students. This month we'll have a separate hangout for MS and HS.  The middle school students will be at the Rainwater's home.  The high school students will be in the gym at the church.  Both hangouts will be game driven in order to provide a good time of simply being around each other.  It's simple but it can be impactful.  6:30-8:30p
  • DNOW - April 27-29: We need students signing up, leaders to lead groups, and homes to host students during this weekend.  More info to come but for now we need to be seeing students sign up, leaders coming forward and people offering their homes for dnow.  Let me know if you're able or interested.  Would love to talk to you about any of the details or questions you may have.

Have a great weekend and don't forget our GIMC going on.
BIG INVITE: Saturday morning, 8-10a at Central Middle School
