9/10/20 Weekly Update

9/10/2020

Rock Students, Parents and Leaders!  Hope you're all doing well today.  It seems we're slowly getting back to the school schedule.  If I'm not mistaken we now have all our Rock SM students back in school.  Of course that means band, sports and homework are also in full effect.  All of this just in time for us to be back together on Wednesday night for The Rock SM.  More on that below but I pray to see all the students back in the seats beginning this Wednesday night.  We know most everything has started back up, but we pray you'll notch out some time as we gather again as a student body.  But before we get into Wednesday, here are some things to know and also some things to consider as you plan.

Tidbits....

  • The RockCast - Don't forget to check out our Podcast.  You can do this by going to the home page of this website or through your favorite podcast app.
  • September 16th - The Rock Returns!  6:45p (Live stream/Recording Available)
  • September 20th - Frisbee in the Fall - Actually this could be more of Ultimate Football. Either way it's an opportunity for us to have some fun after Sunday Church. More info on this is coming this Wednesday.
  • 1/2 Samuel Scripture Journals available for purchase - We have 5 on hand but you can also purchase directly from our Reading List.  You can also find other books we've recently gone through, are currently reading through or have merely recommended.
  • Crew Necks & Hoodies - We purchased this just before Covid and still have some left to purchase.  Make sure you ask a leader this Wednesday.  It's almost hoodie season!
  • REFUEL 2020 & 2021 - Each year we take our Middle School and High School students on two separate trips.  Just today we finalized details regarding both trips.  Our MS students will travel to Pigeon Mountain once again on December 20-22.  Our HS student will also head to Pigeon Mountain but will do so over MLK Weekend, January 15-18.  One big reason for swapping our HS location was money and location.  2 hours of driving versus 6 hours just seems to be a better idea going and coming!  Look for more details on this trip as we will begin registration in a few weeks.  Students will be encouraged to begin signing up in order for us to have a better idea on space/transportation/leaders.  Of course, much like everything, these plans could change.  But we must plan now as if we're going then.  And as always, we will be praying for wisdom and direction as we look to any over night or at home activity or event.

 The Rock Returns - September 16th - 6:45pm

We mentioned this exciting news last week but want to remind you of any precautions as well as instructions as we prepare for the return of The Rock in person service.

I will attach the plan again below.  Here are a few highlights and procedures details.
  • If your student feels sick, is sick or sick of being sick....they need to stay home.
  • If they have been exposed to Covid, they need to stay home.
  • Students will/must check in on the front porch.  Leader actually checks them in on iPad.
  • A leader will check the temperature of any person entering the building.
  • Students head in.  Once they are in, we are asking them to stay inside.
  • Once inside, students will be ask to head straight to a seat, staying there until we dismiss.  Remember, we are starting at 6:45pm.
  • The seats are spaced and marked.  We have more seats set up than we need or can fill, but this is done in order to keep chairs spaced out.  Seats with tape will not be used.
  • Mask are recommended but not required.
  • Bible are recommended but not required.
  • We will be streaming the service on Facebook and YouTube live.

Again, here is our official document for a more detailed look at preparations/procedures

Last Night

We began our first official sermon series of FREE entitled "Imposter."   This series will mainly answer one HUGE question, "WHY WAS FREEDOM NEEDED."  This may seem like a simple question but I think it's important to understand that from the very beginning there has been a thread running throughout all of Scripture.  That thread was there to remind us that God has been in control the whole time.  But how did we get to where we needed to be FREE'd?  I could go on and on with explanation so I'll just link the service below as well as give you the notes from last night.

BUT AGAIN, NEXT WEEK YOUR STUDENT CAN JOIN US LIVE AND IN PERSON!
Until then, have a great rest of your week and we'll see you all Sunday and then together, for the first time in 6 months, worship as a student body in THE ROCK.  I'm excited!
