9/17/20 Weekly Update

Hello!  Right out of the gate I just want to thank God for the opportunity to be together last night.  We had around 80 folks brave the elements and join us live and in person at The Rock.  It was so good to be together again although it did feel a little weird.  When we learned we would be able to meet again we counted back and realized it would be a span of 6 months in between our in person meetings.  That's crazy.   Needless to say, there was some kinks we needed to work out.  Overall, last night was good and felt as though we'd never left.  In some ways it really did feel like it had been ages since we met. It looked a bit different with chairs spanning all the way back to where ping pong tables usually sat. It felt different having live human beings in the room with us.  Remember, we have been doing the live stream for 6 months.  So I had to stop myself from asking why everyone was there!   So again, thanks to all those who came, we could not be any more excited about last night and the weeks to come!

The good news is that we are still able to live stream our services.  We are so excited to provide this way of staying connected when you're not able to attend in person.  We realize weather, sickness, and activities sometimes happen.  Isn't it great that you can still participate in the service when you can't physically be here?

And how about our leaders?  They were great last from the check in station, temperature checks, long distance hugging fests.  From the moment a student walked in the room they were greeted and loved.  You can train leaders but you simply can't re-create the canvas.  Thankfully we have leaders who need very little training.....they just need to be unleashed.
So thanks to all the leaders for making last night go as smooth as possible.

So now, we move on the next week and next steps to normalcy.
​With that said, below we have activities coming up as well as the service video and notes.

Thing to know and do....

• This Sunday - We will be playing some ultimate frisbee at 1:30 at the football field at Central Middle School.  We learned last night that there is an alternative game called "razzle dazzle."  Either way, it's a great way to be together outside a bit.  Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come hang out.
• Refuel - We began announcing this last week but are now making the plea for students to sign up.  You can sign up at anytime for either trip.  Unfortunately you'll need to fill out both forms if you have a student in each age group.    

                MIDDLE SCHOOL FORM
​                HIGH SCHOOL FORM

• The RockCast has another new episode.  This can be found on the front page of this website or anywhere you listen to podcasts.
• Masks - Just a reminder that masks are encouraged at The Rock.  Better safe than sorry.
• YouVersion App - This is a free Bible app.  We put our outline and any verses we'll use during the night on this app.  It can be found under "events" within the app.  We can be found beginning 6pm each Wednesday night.

We hope everyone has a great rest of the week and weekend.  We look forward to seeing everyone Sunday morning as we worship the victorious King together, in person.  I doubt we'll ever again take that for granted!
