What a season of JOY!

2011-02-11T15:30:00.001-08:00

As as church body we celebrated Chaukah this year and lit a candle on the Menorah each night at sundown. By lighting the Menorah we were reminded that Jesus is the Light of the world. The celebration of Chanukah is known as the Festival of Lights or the Festival of Rededication which is a great time to honor the glory of God and re-dedicate our lives to him.

This year on the last night of Chanukah we were all excited to hear an announcement that our courting couple Pat and Morgan are now engaged to be married in May of 2011. They are truely a blessing to our church! In the picture below you will see them lighting the Menorah.

Heart Transformation Conference 2010

2011-02-09T12:44:00.000-08:00

“Heart Transformation,” our first ever women’s conference was held just several weeks ago and it was off the charts! The movement of the Holy Spirit was evident in the anointing that was present and the hearts that were transformed during this time. Pastor Jill spoke about the design of a woman and what transformation is really about. We are also so grateful for our other guest speakers: Katherine Burnett, Jennifer Follis, Vicki Albrecht and Debra Greene that were able to come and share what the Lord had so obviously laid on their hearts. At this time we have the DVD’s of the conference available. If you are interested, whether you attended or not, and want so hear a group of speakers that will transform your heart, please contact the church to request a copy. Here are some photos from the weekend...

God Bless

Independence Day Celebration

2010-11-17T12:45:00.001-08:00

Thank you Lord that we live in a Country with all the freedoms we have. Thank you for the brave men and women who continue to fight for our freedoms. In celebration of Independence Day we had a BBQ potlock after the service. We also had a wonderful time of fellowship while the guys shot off some fireworks for us out back. What a blessing to be able to enjoy such a great time with our brothers and sisters in Christ!

Pentecost

2010-11-17T12:44:00.001-08:00

Our latest celebration was for Pentecost on May 22nd. This was the 2nd of the 3 feasts/ celebrations we are gathring for this year as God has instructed us to. We as a church are believing for a great harvest in 2010 in the many areas in which we have planted our seed. I'm not talking about literal "seeds" as in wheat, but the seeds we have sowed both as a church and as individuals into different ministries to support the areas in which we have been praying for increase. If you are believing for growth in a particular area of your life, there's no better way to please God then to give to someone else who needs help for the same thing.

If you would like to hear more about what the Pentecost celebration is all about, please listen to the message Angelo Palumbo gave by clicking on the messages link to the right. It is dated May 22nd! God Bless You!

Here are a few photos from Pentecost weekend:

Breaking Free Women's Conference

2010-11-17T12:43:00.003-08:00

Pastor Jill Scheck had the pleasure of being invited to speak at the Breaking Free Womens Conference this past weekend at Celebration Community Church. She spoke at two workshops about "The 5 Questions in Every Womans Heart". Each of her workshops had a great turn out and God was definately there ministring to the hearts of every woman. If you were in attendance for one of her workshops and would like to speak with her more regarding this subject please contact the church to set up an appointment with her. We also have a womens group that discusses this along with other topics pertaining to women that we'd love to have you attend. Check our Women of Influence link for more information as to times and dates.

Thank you again to Pastor Jill for sharing what God has placed on her heart with the other women of our community.

Courtship

2010-11-17T12:43:00.001-08:00

At Church on the Rock, we like to instill certain values and principles when it comes to couples who choose to "date". God doesn't want us to give our hearts to just anyone, that's why Pastors Robert and Jill Scheck like to teach about Courtship. Instead of dating just to date, courtship has a specific purpose to find out if the person you are involved with is who God has placed there for you to marry.

Last night a young couple in our church, Patrick and Morgan, announced that they have entered into courtship. We just want to say congratulations to you and send our prayers out that you will get to know one another in the way God planned.

If you would like more information or counseling regarding courtship, please contact Pastors Robert and Jill Scheck.
