Rock News

Here’s your Rock news for the week:

THIS SUNDAY.  Jesus knew his suffering and death was near.  What were His last teachings to His disciples before it all started?  Join us this Sunday at 10:00 am for Week 4 of Jesus: The Final Days.  We’ll look at what those last instructions were and what it means for us.

COMFORT DOG:  We received word recently that Lutheran Church Charities will be conducting interviews with some members of our comfort dog team starting next month.  That is great news and means we are getting closer to the day we will be assigned a dog.  If you want more information or would like to be involved, the next meeting of the comfort dog team will be Wednesday, March 29 at 7:30 pm in the Rock Café.  If you can’t make the meeting and have questions, please respond to this email or contact Randy Newsome.

DOUBLE THE YOGA AT THE ROCK:  We are excited to announce another Yoga opportunity at The Rock!  Currently, Marge has a yoga class on Thursdays at 5:30 pm which is going great and will continue at a cost of $5.  Beginning March 28, there will be another class on Tuesdays at 5:30 pm.  Everyone is welcome to YOGAFAITH – flow and stretch with Erika or Emma in Room 211 at The Rock.  The new class is an all-levels Christian basic yoga class to help you focus and connect with Him while you strengthen, stretch and balance.  Please bring a mat!  Classes are $5 but the first class is FREE.

LADIES BIBLE STUDY:  The ladies bible study group meets on Thursdays at 10:15 am at the Rock. All women are invited to join the group to begin a new study working through the book:  “Control Girl: Lessons on Surrendering Your Burden of Control From Seven Women in the Bible.”  The new study will start on Thursday, April 6 and continue for 10 weeks.  Check out the link below for more info on the author and the book:  http://www.shannonpopkin.com/.   If you would like to join the study and/or purchase a book, please reply to this email by March 19 or contact Sara Moll or Andrea Sloup.  Books are $11 each.  ALSO:  We would love to offer this study at a different time (evening or weekend).  Would you consider leading a group?  You could meet every week or every other week or whatever works best.  Please email tmoll@neb.rr.com if would consider leading.

BLUE VALLEY PANTRY:  It takes about 540 peanuts to make a 12 oz. jar of peanut butter.  It takes about 24 Rock members to provide the Blue Valley Pantry with 24 jars of peanut butter.  Be one of those 24 this month.

NEBRASKA TRIVIA:  Our state, county and city were founded 150 years ago. Nebraska entered the union in March 1867! How much do you know about our state, county and city? On Sunday, March 26, the Seward Memorial Library will celebrate these birthdays by playing a game of Nebraska Trivia at Seward Memorial Library! Cliff Lowell will start the fun at 2 p.m. You do not need to be an expert to join in the game. Teams will be formed that day.
