ONE AMAZING SPRING

I’m going to do a little brain dump here so I can get some things out there and create some buzz around The Rock Church and our mission of Connecting People to LIFE!

  • First, I am so thankful God called me into the ministry. I get to serve Jesus in a wide-open (racing lingo) capacity everyday of my life. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
  • OK, onto the spring. This spring is the scariest in our history! Yes, I’m talking absolutely scary. I’ve been staring at an outline of the services, events and outreaches on the calendar and it excites (scares) the hell (H-E-double hockey sticks) out of me (a good thing). The bottom line is we have so many people coming through the doors of our church right now and in the next two months that I want every element of The Rock Church lit up like Clark Griswold’s house on Christmas Vacation! Seriously, there is no room for anything less than our best! Souls are in the balance, life change is the goal and God wants to use this church. It’s extremely exciting!
  • To prepare for this exciting season I am asking for a SPECIAL ALL Volunteer meeting on Saturday, March 15th 5:30-6:30pm. I need volunteers from First Impressions, Youth, Children’s, Worship, Production and every other ministry in our church present and accounted for on this night. The topics? Easter Series (can u say, huge!), Mitosis (can u say, life-change), New Service Schedule (what?), Hispanic Service, Youth Schedule change, and a new team of Connection Geniuses (me, me, pick me). In addition, the team of 22 that attended the Creative Church Conference is going to be sharing their experience to get our church fired up about where we are headed. Mark your calendar now!
  • Are you artistically talented? Do you want to volunteer for a huge project at the church? Starting on March 10-15 we are doing a major décor renovation of the children’s wing. We will need painters, construction know-how, and people who want to do something big for our kids. The vision includes the children’s kiosk area and hallways. There is a ton to do to get ready for Easter Weekend. Go to this link and get on board with these and other volunteer projects that help your church. Or send and email to volunteer@trclife.com
  • This SPRING will be giganormous!
  • Oh yeah, opening weekend at Evergreen Speedway is April 12. We started the engine of the #70 car last night for the first time this season. I can’t wait for the race season to get started. Stay tuned for our huge kick off party on the last weekend of March.
