We had a great time at our house celebrating life with The Rock Church leaders! It was so fun to sing and play Rockband (thanks Matt and Amanda!). We had good food and good fellowship (old time church word that means connecting with friends).
I look forward to next months hang out. I’m open to your ideas for favorite food for our May celebration.
The staff at The Rock definitely deserves party time each month. It may not be much but how do you say thanks to people who roll up their sleeves week after week and dive into Sundays, no matter what challenges lay ahead (I’m almost convinced there is a demon in our sound system).
There really are so many people that volunteer their time and energies, not only at our church but churches all over the country. I hope that you are as fortunate as I am to serve along such committed and fun loving people.
Over the past few years I have learned to be less impressed with the talented. I now stand in awe of the faithful! People who just show up day after day, week after week, no matter if they feel like it or not. No matter what the ‘working conditions’ may be. These are The Rock staffers and volunteers.

I agree with that last part more than ever. Talent no longer impresses me. People who are faithful and just show up when they’re supposed to impress me more than anything else.
