Weekend Reflections

Here are some high points from our weekend at The Rock Church!

The best "weekend after Easter" service in our history!

  • 75+ water baptisms.
  • The place was jammed.
  • The worship was slammin.
  • It was an amazing day.
My Lifesaver.
A few weeks ago we handed out a white Lifesaver as a representation to all those we were believing to be saved! My Lifesaver was John. Well, John came to church the week before Easter for the first time. On Easter he gave his life to Jesus during the altar call and let us know by filling out a Connect Card. Then today, he went "public" in the waters of baptism. I cannot even put into words how amazing this day was! Can you say, Crowd, Cause, Community!!!
  • All of you who faithfully give to The Rock Church do great things. You set the tone for every ministry. The gospel takes generosity to present at the level you are presenting. Thank you, I think of you daily, and pray for your continued success!
  • Those who have chosen to step up their game and volunteer in all areas of the ministries are taking us to another level. Your efforts are world class and making Jesus famous!!!
  • The Connect Card. This very simple tool is showing us that our church can be "Big enough to Serve you, small enough to know you." Keep working with it every single week!!!
  • The passion. The passion at TRC is breathtaking! There is nothing more powerful than passion!!!! I see it every week in the lives of people from the parking lot to the pulpit. Keep the passion alive!!!
  • The SERVE. It's grassroots, epic, and ANYONE can do it. Get on board with the Serve!!!
Easter.
I am still marveling in our biggest weekend ever at The Rock Church. 1,739 people, 114 commitments to Christ, and 36 first time salvations.
  • The coolest part is that for the first time in our history we are able to connect with everyone of those people after the service is over. Thank you Connect Card.
  • Also the media team produced the first song and it is epic. I've watched it 939 times!!!
  • The parking crew! Awesome strategy!
  • The data entry team from First Impressions. Watching the hundreds of Connect Cards getting inputted for follow up is a dream come true. Awesome team.
  • The give-aways!!! So many awesome businesses contributed to our dream. Thank you.
A Heart for The House.
If you have A Heart for The House at TRC I'd ask you to continue seeking the Lord about what he would have you do for A Heart for The House!!!!
