Happy New Year

I don’t know about you, but I’m saying good riddance to Old Man 2022. For me, 2022 is like an old, noisy street. As I close the door on it, I find myself hoping for clarity and quietly looking forward to a new year. Honestly, we made it past 2020, 2021, and 2022 — there must be some consolation prize. For those of us who know Jesus, there is a consolation prize. It’s the same as in all the years of eternity past — 2023 holds all the fulfilled promises in Christ Jesus. This verse is like the Times Square ball drop of verses for us as Christians.

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

O Holy Night Christmas Series

“O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth.” 

We sing these beautiful songs every year. But, how many of us take the time to think about the majestic (and powerful) words we’re actually singing? Their rich, theological significance is worth discovering.

THE CHURCH Series

The Wonder and Beauty of God’s People in the World

“I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” — Matthew 16:18b

What makes the local Church unique, remarkable, and unlike anything else in the world? How does it impact people’s lives?

“The ___ One” Series

What’s the big deal about Jesus anyway? Is He truly The One Christians claim He is? Does Jesus honestly have an impact on our lives today?

We live in a world that has global influencers around every corner. From TikTok stars to political leaders, their imprint is worldwide. Because of that influence (and our society’s significant progress socially, economically, technologically and scientifically) it has become very easy for us to ask, “Does Jesus even matter anymore?” Many people think Jesus seems just, well, a bit… outdated.

Easter at The Rock Church

Easter is the most significant day in all of Christianity. On that first Easter morning, death was defeated, and eternal life was secured by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Join us and hear about the hope and confidence followers of Jesus have because of an empty tomb.

“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, ⁴ that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Service Times and Location:

Our two-week Easter series will be April 9/10 & 16/17 at The Rock Church. (11630 S 700 E Draper, UT 84020) Saturdays at 6:00 p.m., Sundays at 9:30 & 11:15 a.m.

Watch online at trc.life/live, Facebook live or The Rock Church app.

Baptisms on Easter Weekend! (April 16/17)

Baptisms will happen Easter weekend (Saturday, April 16 and Sunday, April 17) and we’re so excited! Why? Because it really is the first step of obedience for a Christian. It’s an outward expression of what has happened in your heart as you’ve accepted Jesus as your personal Savior.

Interested in getting baptized? Contact Pastor Steve McInroy at mac@trc.life. You can pick up a Baptism Packet at the Connections Booth or visit http://www.experiencetherock.com/resources/baptism/). Sign up to get baptized at www.trc.life/baptism. Deadline to register is Sunday, April 10.

If you have any questions, please email our office!

Update on the State Legislature’s Decision Regarding the Mask Mandate

Dear Rock Church,

As you may know, the Utah House has overturned Salt Lake and Summit County mask mandates, effective immediately. The Utah House voted 45-29 (Friday morning) to end the locally-imposed COVID-19 mask mandates in Salt Lake and Summit counties.

Accordingly, we will continue to leave the decision to wear a mask (or not) to your own good judgment. We will have masks available for anyone who would like one.

Update Regarding The Rock’s Mask Policy

The Rock Pastors spent four hours (of heartfelt discussion) regarding our response and responsibility to the Salt Lake County Health Department’s 30-day public health order (order #2022-01) regarding COVID-19 mask mandates.

This is a challenging issue, to say the least. But, this is what the pastors have decided will apply to our Rock Church services:

Announcement for the Weekend of January 8 & 9, 2022

Dear Rock Church,

We are aware that yesterday, the Salt Lake County Health Department issued a 30-day public health order (order #2022-01) requiring people in Salt Lake County to wear masks, regardless of vaccination status or past COVID-19 infection.

Because of the late notice of this order, The Rock Church will simply encourage – but not require – the wearing of masks this weekend. We will also not enforce mask wearing, but leave this decision to your own good judgment. We will have masks available for anyone who wants one.

Hebrews — Consider Jesus

A Study of the Book of Hebrews

“Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, ² who was faithful to [God] who appointed Him.” Hebrews 3:1-2a

The first century Jewish Christians suffered for their faith. In the face of their persecution, those weary Saints were tempted to abandon Christianity. The author of Hebrews wrote this expansive book to teach them why they should “Consider Jesus.” Two thousand years later, the words and truths in Hebrews are relevant for our lives today.
