5/21/20 Weekly Update

Happy Thursday and happy summer break! By now I guess everyone is out of school! Exciting! Know that we miss you so much and can't wait until we can be together again!

Last night...

Last night we began our summer series - Elevate!
The heart of this series is to help students and leaders understand their Bible better and even more than that to see and understand the narrative of the Scriptures! This summer we have chosen 10 books of the Bible to overview each week! Understanding the Bible is one big story is essential to understanding the Word!

As we work through each book of the Bible we will ask four questions:
What is the context?
What does the text say? (OBSERVE)
What does the text mean? (INTERPRET)
What do I do in light of the text? (APPLY).

The hope is for this series to be our summer series for the next 5-6 years! We are super excited for this series and hope you will will connect with us! 

Last night we looked at the book of Genesis... the beginning of the Bible and the beginning of the story of the redeeming plan of God! It was an awesome night as we saw - creation, the fall, God promising to preserve for himself a people as he makes all things new!
Genesis is a great book that helps us learn that God cares for his creation and he is working in our lives today! The book of Genesis should bring you great encouragement, comfort and hope  today!

Click here for the notes from last night and check out the night below from our YouTube Channel!  We did have one connection issue that split our night into two separate videos. We hope you'll check both of those out!  Again, they embedded below and also available on our Facebook and YouTube pages.

Updates:

• Summer Camp - Keep your ears up as we make announcements fin regards to Summer Camp! If you missed earlier announcements - unfortunately, we won't be going to the beach for camp this year... but we will have camp here! This will take greater form as the time gets closer and as restrictions hopefully loosen! 
• Senior Highlights -  We are hoping to honor our seniors each Wednesday night at The Rock.  If you haven't submitted the senior highlight you can CLICK HERE and do that.  Keep in mind, this is a bit different than what we'd do on the regular Sunday Recognition.  We hope to get a little more personal and ROCK specific on the Wednesday Senior Highlight.  So help us do that by completing a form and returning it to Chris or Andrew.
• Sunday Service - Don't forget to connect with us on Sunday AM and PM for our services! Check it out on Facebook, our Website, or our Vimeo page.
• Sunday School - Don't forget to connect with a Sunday school class via Google Hangouts on Sunday mornings at 9:30a! This is a great way to still have community during this difficult season of seclusion! 

Again, we hope we can all be together very soon! But until then, know we love you and we miss you!
 - Chris & Andrew
