Memory Verse: “Love each other as I have loved you.” ~ John 15:12, NIV Bible Story: “The Unloved Woman” ~ John 8:2-11 !K-5th Grade ~ Theme: Cooperation Bible Story: “John the Baptist”~ Luke 3 Memory Verse: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear." ~ Luke 12:22 NIV *The K-5th graders will be studying the same
passages of Luke along with the adults over the next 4 Sundays. Parents, we encourage you to have a conversation with your child about what each of you learned that day! !Noisy Collection Contest: The K-5th graders are having a Noisy Collection Contest to benefit the NCA school in Matagalpa, Nicaragua (February 21~March 27)!

Facility Update: Thank you for your interest and your participation in both the Budget and Facility Congregation Meetings. If you missed them, the materials presented are available at the Info Table today. Next steps are: close on the properties (completed this past week!), determine and complete the survey work to split off the house, do the work needed to list the property, and work with CopperRock to determine a new rendering for Phase 1 that is in the $2-2.5M range (the next meeting to work on this is tomorrow evening, Feb. 22). !Facility Task Force members include: Mark Christensen, Jon DenOuden, Jon Huizenga, Jeanne Maher, Don Porritt, Richard Spengler, Kelly Tuit, and Jeff Yonker. !The Board of Elders conferred on the subject of who would list the house when it comes time to put it up for sale in light of the fact that the person providing the loan to River Rock for the land is a realtor. The Board decided to approve that person as listing realtor and to make that a condition of the loan. The Board feels the flexibility and terms of the loan are generous and in the best interests of the church. At the proper time, the home will be listed by Denny Betten of Remax of Grand Rapids. !
Knitters and Crocheters: Do you love to knit or crochet? We are looking for anyone who might want to use these gifts for prayer shawls. If you are interested, please contact Jeanne Maher. !River Rock is excited to work with MeadowRidge Elementary as a Kids Hope partner! 14 mentors are meeting weekly with a child. Praise God for raising up the mentors needed for these kids. To become a mentor, contact Mandi Molt ~ [email protected] or (616) 745-5513. !Sunday Treat Makers: The hospitality team is looking for additional treat makers to bring items for the cafe on Sunday mornings. If you can help bring treats once per month, contact Jen DenOuden. !River Rock is privileged to support Mark and Altia Legters in Merida, Mexico. Their ministry involves evangelism, church planting, pastoring and Bible school training. Please pray that they will have the spiritual and material resources necessary for their work. Pray also that the Lord will sustain them physically as in recent years they have experienced some serious health issues. Thank you for upholding them!
