We’re Ready For Normal!

Two years into the Covid-19 pandemic, everyone is ready for ‘normal’. We’re not sure what that is any longer, but we’re ready for something better than pandemic life. To that end, the Rodenberg Church of Christ has made the decision to move toward a more normal schedule of activities. On March 6, 2022, we began a second meeting on Sundays. We kept our morning assembly at 10:00am, and began meeting at 4:00pm on Sunday afternoons. This will be our “evening” assembly from now on. We decided on the time change as a way to help our older members who are not able to get out after dark. This will be a much bigger help to them during the winter months. The 4:00pm meeting is more like a small group. Currently, we use the Sunday morning sermon as the focus of our discussion, but we make time for fellowship, snacks, etc. If you’re looking for a relaxed, friendly, encouraging activity, this just might be for you.

GriefShare Ministers To

The Hurting

Death of a loved one is never easy. Grief can make life seem unbearable. One never “gets over” the fact that a person close to them has died. There is help, however, and that’s where our GriefShare ministry can shine. The thirteen-week series of videos, discussions, outside reading, and sharing together can assist people to find life in the face of sorrow. Ask Linda Woods, our ministry leader for GriefShare. We started this program when Linda’s daughter, Jenny, passed away. After a couple or three cycles, Linda became a group moderator, and eventually took on the role of leading the ministry. If you, or someone you know, has experienced the death of a loved one, talk to Linda and find out more about how this ministry can help.

New Video Series On The

Gospel Of Mark

Bill Denton and Phillip Burgess have teamed up to produce a video series on the Gospel of Mark. The videos will be available free on the CrossTies Ministry YouTube Channel. The study takes a unique approach, looking at the Gospel of Mark as a story. The idea is that when originally written, this small book was intended to be read, or even recited, to groups of listeners. Most likely, they would have heard the entire book in a single performance. It would have been heard as a story, relating important information about Jesus and God’s kingdom in the world. Bill And Phillip will examine sections of Mark in each episode, trying to focus on the story-telling aspects the writer used, and relating the original story to our own life experiences as followers of Jesus today. Visit the CrossTies Ministry YouTube Channel, listen to the episodes on Mark, give a “thumbs up”, subscribe, and ring the notification bell so you’ll know when new episodes are uploaded. The schedule right now calls for a new episode every two weeks.
