I absolutely love our Thanksgiving Traditions, and I bet you love your traditions as well! I will tell you Daddy Lange Homemade Mashed Potatoes are the best (that's right, my family loves my mashed potatoes)! In addition, Mince Meat Pie with a dollop of whip cream is to die for! And without a doubt, the best tradition for me is our Thanksgiving prayer time! You see, prior...

Hanging of the Green is Rockland's way of decorating the church for Christmas but it is also about tradition. We as individuals and as families come together the day after Thanksgiving to share fellowship and fun. In Isaiah 60:13 we find these words: "The Glory of Lebanon shall come unto you, the fir tree, the pine tree and the box together, to beautify the place of your ...

Summer is over and with it our mission trip groups. Soon it will be cold and dark on Colfax, but in that darkness the motels will be full of people trying to stay warm through the winter. There is never a season when God is not needed on the streets, but if there's a season He is needed most, it's winter. Volunteers at Mean Street will put on as many layers as they can an...

I truly was wondering if I could go to a movie tonight and just wake up tomorrow to hear who has won, rather than watch the hours and hours of television coverage. But I am sure I'll watch. Tonight, though, I'm going to try something I have never done before. I am going to practice obedience to 1 Timothy 2:1-2:I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people.Ask God to he...

This Sunday, we continue exploring our core values in line with Rockland's vision of Connecting All Generations to Jesus as we study Value #2: "Connect". Merriam-Webster uses the following words to describe the meaning of Connect: "To join, weave, entwine, link, secure and to place or establish in relationship".

A.W. Tozer once said, "I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven."
