FROM ZACH

Greetings, RCC!

“You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” – Psalm 23:5b

On Sunday, November 9, we gather for Overflow, a special worship celebration where our praise, gratitude, and generosity spill over to the Lord who fills us to abundance. This is more than a service—it’s a collective act of faith, declaring that God’s goodness in our lives cannot be contained. Join us as we lift our voices, open our hearts, and let our worship overflow. Things are different on the day of Overflow. We will have one service time ONLY at 11am. Our Children’s Ministry will have their regularly scheduled kid’s service where they will be doing a service project (on site!) and participating in a Gratitude Tree while everyone sixth grade and above assemble in the Worship Center at 11am for an awesome time of bringing our gifts to Jesus! After worship, we’ll share a potluck feast featuring 30 roasted turkeys provided by the church. To make this meal truly abundant, we need everyone to chip in with sides, salads, and desserts! Let’s fill every seat and every plate with love, laughter, and leftovers to spare.
 
We’re moving forward in our Sunday morning message series through the book of James, exploring how trials refine our faith and obedience shapes our lives. With messages like Testing & Persevering, Listening & Doing, and Faith & Good Works, we’re learning to live out a faith that stands firm under pressure and bears fruit in action. James, the half-brother of Jesus and leader of the Jerusalem church, shows us that true discipleship isn’t passive—it’s active, resilient, and generous.

In October, we celebrated two new believers baptized and six family units placing membership—with more scheduled for November! These milestones are beautiful evidence that God is moving among us. As we live out our calling to be Disciples Creating Disciples, lives are being transformed, families are finding home, and the gospel is advancing. Praise God—He is blessing our faithfulness! Let’s keep discipling well, and let’s keep sharing the gospel! Who knows how many we could see come to follow Christ if even half of us would just share the gospel with someone this month!

November is generally when our hearts and minds turn to generous giving and living. Whether through your potluck dish, your worship, or your year-end gift, let Psalm 23:5 be our anthem: “My cup overflows.” Trust God to multiply what you give—He always does. Let’s step into this season with great faith, knowing the One who fills us will never run dry.
 
In Christ,
Zach

Overflowing with Gratitude and Joy!

Hey Church Family,

What an incredible season it is at **Rogers Christian Church!** My heart is overflowing (pun fully intended) with excitement as we look ahead to our **Overflow Service on November 9th!** This is not just another Sunday—it’s a one-service, all-church gathering of worship, gratitude, and joy to our **God and King!** It’s going to be a day where voices rise, hearts lift, and the name of Jesus is praised in unity.

We still need your help to make it all come together—especially when it comes to the **feast!** If you haven’t yet, please take a moment to sign up to bring food. And for those willing to **cook a turkey**, your service (and your seasoning) will bless so many.

I continue to stand in awe of what God is doing among us. Week after week, we’ve watched people **step into membership**, committing themselves to being disciples who make disciples. And what a joy it’s been to witness so many **baptisms**—each one a public story of faith, obedience, and love for Jesus. This is what it looks like when God is moving in His church.

To my **Worship and Production teams**—you are heroes. Every fader pushed, every slide presented, every note played, and every lyric sung—it all points to the glory of our Savior. Thank you for pouring out your hearts and talents so faithfully. What you do matters, eternally.

As we prepare for Overflow, I want to encourage everyone to **pray**—pray that this service draws us nearer to Jesus and reminds us of the countless reasons we have to give thanks. And as we look beyond, keep the **Christmas Candlelight Service** in your prayers, too. It’s closer than it feels—a sacred night where we’ll celebrate the coming of our Lord.

Finally, I want to express deep gratitude to **Pastor Zach and our elders**. Their steadfast leadership and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit have guided us with wisdom and courage. We are blessed beyond measure.

It is both an **honor and a joy** to serve with you all at Rogers Christian Church. God is writing something beautiful here—and we get to be part of it.

With love and anticipation,
Keith Torres
Worship Pastor
Rogers Christian Church

Iglesia Cristiana

Querida familia de fe,
Al mirar hacia atrás en este mes de octubre, mi corazón se llena de gratitud al ver cómo Dios sigue obrando con poder en medio de Su iglesia. Ha sido un mes de crecimiento, unidad y propósito. En cada reunión dominical, a través del estudio del libro de Hebreos, fuimos recordados de la grandeza de Cristo, Su sacerdocio perfecto y la firmeza de Su pacto eterno. Las predicaciones de este mes nos animaron a mantenernos firmes en la fe, confiando en que Jesús es suficiente, poderoso y fiel. Cada mensaje fortaleció corazones y trajo dirección en tiempos de desafío. La iglesia ha respondido con entusiasmo, sed y compromiso de seguir aprendiendo.

Nuevo Estudio Bíblico: Saulo, de Perseguidor a Apóstol: Este mes también iniciamos un estudio profundo sobre la vida de Saulo de Tarso, quien fue transformado por la gracia en el apóstol Pablo. Este estudio nos está guiando a reflexionar en cómo Dios puede tomar nuestras debilidades y convertirlas en instrumentos de Su gloria. Cada clase ha sido un encuentro de crecimiento, aprendizaje y comunión fraterna.

Iglesia en Hogares: Fe que se Vive y Comparte : Cada otro viernes, llevamos la iglesia a los hogares. En estos encuentros se comparte la Palabra, se ora, se canta y se fortalecen lazos entre familias. Hemos visto cómo nuevos vecinos se unen, cómo corazones se abren, y cómo Dios está usando estos espacios para extender Su Reino. Es un gozo ver cómo la iglesia vive más allá del edificio, llegando a donde la necesidad y el anhelo espiritual son reales.

Momentos Especiales: Fiesta de la Comunidad Hispana (Oct. 11): Un día de celebración, música y comida que mostró la unidad de muchas naciones bajo un solo Señor.

Discipulados y liderazgo:  Seguimos viendo líderes levantarse, ministerios fortalecerse y familias encontrar su propósito en el servicio.

Reflexión y Gratitud: Gracias a cada voluntario, maestro, músico, servidor y anfitrión de hogar. Gracias a quienes oran, dan y apoyan el ministerio. Ustedes son evidencia de que la iglesia está viva, activa y creciendo. Su servicio es un reflejo del amor de Cristo y de una fe que se demuestra en acción.

Mirando Hacia Adelante: Con esperanza entramos en un nuevo mes. Sigamos caminando con fe, alcanzando almas, discipulando creyentes y edificando familias para Cristo. ¡Los mejores días para Rogers Comunidad Cristiana están por venir!

Con gratitud y cariño,
Pastor Arturo Mejía
Rogers Comunidad Cristiana
Dear Family of Faith,
As I look back on this month of October, my heart is filled with gratitude as I see how God continues to work with power in the midst of His church. It has been a month of growth, unity and purpose. At each Sunday meeting, through study of the book of Hebrews, we were reminded of the greatness of Christ, His perfect priesthood, and the steadfastness of His everlasting covenant. This month's preaching encouraged us to stand firm in the faith, trusting that Jesus is sufficient, powerful, and faithful. Each message strengthened hearts and brought direction in times of challenge. The church has responded with enthusiasm, thirst, and commitment to keep learning.

New Bible Study: Saul, from Persecutor to Apostle: This month we also begin an in-depth study of the life of Saul of Tarsus, who was transformed by grace into the apostle Paul. This study is leading us to reflect on how God can take our weaknesses and turn them into instruments of His glory. Each class has been a meeting of growth, learning and fraternal communion.

 Church in Homes: Faith That Is Lived and Shared: Every other Friday, we bring church into homes. In these meetings, the Word is shared, prayed, sung, and bonds between families are strengthened. We've seen new neighbors come together, hearts open, and God using these spaces to extend His Kingdom. It is a joy to see how the church lives beyond the building, reaching where the need and spiritual longing are real.
Special Moments: Hispanic Community Feast (Oct. 11): A day of celebration, music, and food that showcased the unity of many nations under one Lord.

Discipleship and Leadership: We continue to see leaders rise up, ministries strengthened, and families find their purpose in service.

Reflection and Gratitude: Thank you to every volunteer, teacher, musician, servant, and home host. Thank you to those who pray, give, and support the ministry. You are evidence that the church is alive, active, and growing. Their service is a reflection of Christ's love and a faith that is demonstrated in action.

Looking Forward: With hope we enter a new month. Let's continue to walk in faith, reach souls, disciple believers, and build families for Christ. The best days for Rogers Christian Community are yet to come!

With gratitude and hope,
Pastor Arturo Mejía

"Top Secret: God’s Plans Are Never Hidden!"
We’re kicking off an exciting new series this month — Top Secret! Each week, our kids will uncover how God worked behind the scenes in the story of Esther to accomplish something incredible. With spy gear, secret missions, and hidden clues, we’ll discover that even when we can’t see Him, God is always at work!

🔍 Sunday Mornings: “Top Secret”
In this 5-week series, kids will learn that God has a plan and purpose for every one of us — and sometimes, His greatest missions are carried out in unexpected ways. Through the story of Esther, kids will see how God can use ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

Big Ideas & Bible Stories
🎯 God gives me a mission. (Esther Becomes Queen — Esther 2:1–18; 2 Thessalonians 1:3–4, 11–12)
🛡️ Nothing will turn me away from God. (Haman Plots Against God’s People — Esther 3:1–15; 2 Thessalonians 2:13–17)
💬 I can stand up for God and others. (Mordecai Asks Esther to Help — Esther 4:1–17; 2 Thessalonians 3:6–13)
👣 I can follow God even when nobody’s watching. (Mordecai Honored — Esther 2:21–23, 6:1–11; Colossians 1:9–14)
🕊️ God can send me to make peace. (Esther Saves Her People — Esther 5:1–8, 7:1–6, 8:1–8; Psalm 122:6–9)
Memory Verse:
“The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” — Proverbs 15:3 (NIV)
