Hey Rocky River Church. Here are some VERY IMPORTANT things you need to know about this Sunday.

1. This Sunday is "SOUPER SUNDAY" at Rocky River Church. We are asking everyone to bring at least one can of soup for the Baptist Sharing House in Concord. This is a great way for our church to serve the community and help out our neighbors who are struggling right now to have enough to eat. Lets make this HUGE!

2. RiverKidz. This weekend we are taking our student ministry to THE NEXT LEVEL. I'm serious, RiverKidz (K-5) is going to be off the hook! Kids, I can't wait for you to see what we have planned.

3. The Flood - Beginning this Sunday Middle School students will be dismissed after the worship to go to the Middle School room (located in the CreekKidz area) for their own message. This will be offered during both services at 9 and 11. Of course, they are also welcome to stay in the regular service as well.

4. One more thing. As you know, the weather man says it is going to be wet and sloppy this weekend in Cabarrus County. If that holds true we will not be able to use the front fields for overflow parking. So, we will use our shuttle system. Here's how it works. Just drive up to the building, drop off your family and then drive .02 miles (about 1500 feet) to Pitt School Road Elementary School and we will shuttle you back up to the church. Then, once the service is over we will shuttle you back up to the church to pick up those who rode with you. THIS IS REALLY NOT A BIG DEAL. It will only add about 15 minutes to your day.

AGAIN, DON'T LET THE SHUTTLE - OR ANYTHING ELSE - KEEP YOU FROM ROCKY RIVER CHURCH THIS WEEKEND. I am teaching a message from Luke 5:17-26 about Jesus healing a paralyzed man. Now, maybe you're not paralyzed physically, but likely you are paralyzed in some area of your life - your finances, your spiritual life, or maybe a relationship. I believe God has something important to say to you through the whole worship experience. The point is that you need this message so don't let anything keep you away.

I love you guys. Can't wait to see you Sunday! God bless.
Jimmy Britt, Lead Pastor
