The Rock Church Reopening Announcement

Hello, Rock Church! The pastors asked me to update you on the status of The Rock Church Reopening. Many of you have been asking, and we have some great news. We are planning on reopening our church building to the public on the weekend of June 20 & 21! 

As a result of our reopening, I’d like to share some of the changes you can expect when you arrive back in our building. Above all, our heart is to honor Jesus and keep our flock safe by heeding some basic social distancing guidelines from our state, federal and medical leaders. Keeping that in mind, here are just a few of the restrictions we’ll implement: (Note: These new guidelines are only temporary until we can be confident we may move ahead safely.)

God is Preparing a Room for His Children + NEWS

I want to tell you about an unseen blessing that is going on right now. During this crisis, our Children’s Director, Phil Hahn, has taken advantage of this time to remodel some classrooms for the children of The Rock Church. Similarly, God is preparing a room in Heaven for us — His children.

A King of Their Own Creation + What’s Happening

Recently, during one of our weekend services, we looked at The Triumphant Entry in Mark 11. The Jewish people had their own timeline for when the Messiah should save them from the Romans. They tried making a King of their own creation.

Likewise, we can do the same thing, right? We have our own timeline for how we want life to return to normal. It can be easy to get angry — even at the King — when things don’t go the way we want them to during this time.

Persistent in Prayer + What’s Happening

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a woman in our church who wanted to be baptized (even with everything going on around us). She was persistent in her request and not to be deterred. 

Consequently, we baptized her and it was so much fun! She had such joy obeying Jesus in this way. We were overjoyed to grant her request.

Considering Reopening our Church

Hello, Rock Church,

As you may have heard, the governor of Utah announced on Wednesday (May 6, 2020) that churches could start meeting again (provided they follow basic social distancing guidelines). The Rock Pastors have been reading through these guidelines, talking with doctors and state officials, and praying. We are currently considering reopening our church sometime in June. There will obviously be countless details to figure out in the coming weeks. We need God’s wisdom and guidance through all of this.

Having said that, there are some things we want you to know during this process:

Get Your Eyes on Jesus — Sing to Him + NEWS

Psalm 96 tells us over and over to sing to the Lord. Maybe you are like me and have noticed how easy it is to have your eyes on yourself? One of the quickest ways to get your eyes on Jesus is to sing to Him.

Today, find ways to sing to Jesus. Tune in to a local Christian radio station, find a worship playlist on Spotify or even go to therockmusic.org and listen to worship music for free. Sing to the Lord. Publish His glorious deeds.

Strength to Weather the Storm + What’s Happening

I have a thought for you from the book of Ruth. Ruth’s mother-in-law, Naomi, experienced tragedy after tragedy. But, Naomi insightfully understood that everything that happened in her life was from the hand of the Lord. This gave her strength in the midst of tragedy. 

As Christians, we need to understand that God is in control of both the good things and the troubles that are in our lives. That should give us the strength we need to weather the trials and storms that come.
