The title “Endings and Beginnings” is a word play signifying the end of our “Genesis: Beginnings” sermon series. It also represents the end of one sermon series and the beginning of another. Everyone at The Rock can participate in both in the following ways:
1) This week we have a special opportunity to share stories with one another. The Bible teaches that we do church in the context of community (see all the “one another” of the NT church!). One way we do this is to share what God is doing in our hearts and lives. This Sunday we will give time for everyone/anyone to share how God has spoken to them in listening to the latest Genesis sermon series. I have prepared and preached the messages from God’s Word. Now YOU get to respond how God has worked in your life because of God speaking specifically to you! It could be sharing 1) how you learned something new or 2) a way God spoke to you to follow Him or 3) simply something that was interesting to you. Please pray about how God might use you to encourage others this Sunday!
2) I want your input on the next sermon series! I have narrowed it down to one of three New Testament choices: Acts, Hebrews, or 1 Peter. Reply to this email with your vote. I will consider all of your opinions and reveal our next series soon!

Children's Ministry
This week Rock Kids will be digging into the story of Jesus bringing a widow's son back to life, found in Luke 7:11-17. The kids will learn the Bible point "Jesus is compassionate, so we're compassionate." Kids can't bring people back to life like Jesus did, but they can show compassion. Receiving compassion is life-giving in a different way. Jesus' heart overflowed with compassion just at seeing the widow's pain. We want to help kids develop hearts that notice and feel others' pain.
