FROM ZACH

April brought the joy of Easter, and what a celebration it was at Rogers Christian Church! Our Easter services were filled with worship, hope, and the powerful message of Christ’s resurrection. We were thrilled to welcome many new faces, and even more exciting, several of those families have returned in the weeks since, joining us for Sunday services and small groups. Their presence has been a blessing, sparking new friendships and reminding us of the gospel’s power to draw people to Jesus (Romans 1:16). A special highlight was celebrating six baptisms during our Easter season—six lives publicly declaring their faith in Christ! Each immersion was a beautiful moment of transformation, and we rejoice in how God is moving among us, growing His family through these new disciples.

May is packed with opportunities to celebrate and connect as a church family. On May 4, we’ll have our High School Senior Recognition Sunday, showing appreciation for thirteen incredible graduates: Budde Ettestad, Jacelyn Cavness, Sofia Robbins, Kaleb Fleming, Gavin Gibson, Joshua Castaneda, Shaelynn Stewart, Dayana Mejia, Sarah Webb, Haden Linton, Erica McCormick, Lake Pitcock, and Marco Ramos. Join us as we pray over them and celebrate their next steps! On May 11, we’ll celebrate Mother’s Day, blessing each mom with a beautiful flower and a thoughtful gift to honor their love and impact. Then, on May 18, our annual Church on the Lawn Celebration will bring us together for worship, food, and fun. We encourage everyone to invite friends and sign up to help by bringing sides, assisting with setup or cleanup, or joining children’s activities—your participation makes this event a true community blessing!

As we move through May, we’ll continue our Building Godly Character series, exploring how traits like humility, integrity, and diligence shape our lives and draw us closer to God (Psalm 15:5). This series will set the stage for a vibrant summer, where we’ll dive deeper into living out our faith together. Let’s keep leaning into this journey of building godly character, trusting that as we do, we’ll reflect Christ’s love in our homes, workplaces, and community. It’s through these small, faithful steps—whether in prayer, service, or celebration—that we become disciples who create disciples, fulfilling our mission to shine God’s light in Rogers and beyond.
 
In Christ,
Zach

Thank You for an Incredible Easter Weekend!

Church Family,

What an incredible Easter weekend we experienced together! From Good Friday’s somber reflection on the sacrifice of Jesus to the victorious celebration of His resurrection on Easter Sunday, we could feel the Spirit moving powerfully in our services. There was an unmistakable excitement in the room — the kind that only comes when God’s people lift high the name of the Savior who sacrificed everything for us and conquered death so we might live!

I want to personally thank you all for your heart, your energy, and your openness to what God is doing in and through our church. Your love for Jesus and one another is tangible, and it’s something truly special. My family and I are overwhelmed with gratitude for the kindness, support, and encouragement you continue to show us. Being a part of this wonderful church family is a gift, and getting to serve alongside our amazing staff team is an honor I never take for granted.

We’re excited to keep the spirit going as we look ahead to Church on the Lawn coming up on May 18th! It's going to be a fantastic time of worship, fellowship, fun, and community — and it's the perfect opportunity to invite friends, family, and neighbors to come experience the love and hope we have in Christ.

Thank you again for being the incredible church that you are. We love you and can’t wait to see what God continues to do!

With love and gratitude,
Keith Torres

Carta Pastoral

A la amada congregación de RCC,

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,

Con el corazón lleno de gratitud, me dirijo a ustedes para reflexionar sobre el mes que hemos compartido en nuestra iglesia. Ha sido un tiempo de bendiciones abundantes y de actividades vibrantes que han fortalecido nuestra comunidad y nuestra fe.

Durante este mes, hemos vivido momentos inolvidables de evangelización y alcance a nuestra comunidad. Cada bautismo celebrado fue un testimonio del poder transformador de Cristo en las vidas de nuestros hermanos y hermanas. ¡Qué alegría ver cómo el Señor sigue agregando almas a Su reino a través de nuestros esfuerzos! Este crecimiento numérico no solo se refleja en la asistencia, sino también en el profundo sentido de unidad que estamos experimentando en nuestra congregación.

Quiero destacar algunos números que reflejan nuestro avance y crecimiento en RCC:
- Asistencia durante la predicación: Hemos tenido un promedio de 45 a 55 personas presentes cada domingo, lo que es una señal clara de que más familias y visitantes están sintiendo el llamado de Dios a unirse a nosotros.
- Reuniones de Hogar: Cada otro viernes, nuestras reuniones de hogar han contado con un promedio de 60 participantes, donde hemos compartido la Palabra y fortalecido nuestros lazos en comunidad.
- Miércoles de Oración: En nuestras reuniones de oración los miércoles, hemos visto entre 20 a 30 personas, buscando juntos la presencia de Dios y clamando por nuestras necesidades y las de nuestra comunidad.
- Varones: Nuestro grupo de hombres se ha reunido cada martes con aproximadamente 12 participantes, comprometidos a crecer en su fe y en la responsabilidad que Dios les ha encomendado.
- Grupo Femenil: Las mujeres, que se reúnen una vez al mes, han tenido entre 10 a 15 participantes, creando un espacio seguro para compartir, orar y apoyarse mutuamente.

Es realmente hermoso ver cómo, a pesar de las dificultades que algunas familias han enfrentado, hemos continuado creciendo juntos en la fe y en el amor de Cristo. Cada reunión, cada evento y cada domingo se ha convertido en una oportunidad para experimentar la fidelidad de Dios y el deseo de Su pueblo de seguir adelante.

Quiero agradecer a cada uno de ustedes por el cariño, el cuidado y la comprensión que han demostrado. Su compromiso y dedicación son lo que hace de RCC un lugar especial. Juntos, estamos cumpliendo con nuestra misión de "Arkansando Almas para Cristo", y eso es motivo de gran celebración.

Dios es bueno y se manifiesta en RCC. Sigamos orando unos por otros, apoyándonos en las dificultades y celebrando las victorias. Estoy emocionado por lo que Dios tiene preparado para nosotros en el futuro.

Con afecto y bendiciones,
Somos RCC - Arkansando Almas Para Cristo
Pastoral Letter

To the beloved congregation of RCC,

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

With a heart full of gratitude, I write to you to reflect on the month we have shared in our church. It has been a time of abundant blessings and vibrant activities that have strengthened our community and our faith.

During this month, we have experienced unforgettable moments of evangelism and outreach to our community. Each baptism celebrated has been a testimony to the transformative power of Christ in the lives of our brothers and sisters. What a joy it is to see how the Lord continues to add souls to His kingdom through our efforts! This numerical growth is not only reflected in attendance but also in the deep sense of unity we are experiencing in our congregation.

I would like to highlight some numbers that reflect our progress and growth in RCC:

- Sunday Attendance: We have had an average of 45 to 55 people present each Sunday, which is a clear sign that more families and visitors are feeling God's call to join us.
- Home Meetings: Every other Friday, our home meetings have averaged 60 participants, where we have shared the Word and strengthened our bonds in community.
- Wednesday Prayer Meetings: In our Wednesday prayer meetings, we have seen between 20 to 30 people seeking God's presence together and crying out for our needs and those of our community.
- Men's Group: Our men's group has met every Tuesday with approximately 12 participants, committed to growing in their faith and in the responsibility that God has entrusted to them.
- Women's Group: The women, who meet once a month, have had between 10 to 15 participants, creating a safe space to share, pray, and support one another.

It is truly beautiful to see how, despite the difficulties some families have faced, we have continued to grow together in faith and in the love of Christ. Each meeting, each event, and each Sunday has become an opportunity to experience God's faithfulness and the desire of His people to move forward.

I want to thank each of you for the love, care, and understanding you have shown. Your commitment and dedication make RCC a special place. Together, we are fulfilling our mission of "Reaching Souls for Christ," and that is cause for great celebration.

God is good and is manifesting Himself in RCC. Let us continue to pray for one another, supporting each other in difficulties and celebrating victories. I am excited about what God has in store for us in the future.

With affection and blessings,

Somos RCC - Reaching Souls for Christ

April: A Season of New Life!

March was an incredible month as we explored the power of the stories Jesus told. Through His parables, kids learned that God helps us know what’s true, we can give back to God, He sends us helpers, He gives us second chances, and we belong in His family. Watching them engage with these truths and grow in their faith has been such a joy!

April: Growing in Faith

Spring is a time of new beginnings, and what better way to celebrate than by learning about the greatest new beginning of all—Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection! Just like a gardener nurtures seeds, Jesus cultivated faith in His followers so they could grow closer to God. In this four-week series, kids will discover:

God sent Jesus to save us.

Jesus understands when we’re hurting.

Jesus makes all things new.

Jesus connects us to God.

We are especially excited to celebrate Easter with your family! Join us for our Easter Egg Hunt at 11 AM on Saturday and then on Sunday during kids worship for our 3rd annual Balloon Drop as we rejoice together—HE IS RISEN!

We can’t wait to celebrate the greatest gift of all with your children. Thank you for letting us be part of their faith journey!

Blessings!
Jamie

This month is one of my favorite events of the year, Church on the Lawn! It is taking place on Sunday, May 18.  During this event, we will join together for one service at 11:00 as one congregation to Worship and Praise our Father.  We hope to see you there!

The theme for May is “People at church help me.” This month, your child will hear words and songs about Jesus’ help for their friends; feel cared for by people at church; and play with a variety of toys and materials to experience love and help from others.


Sing It
Showing God’s love (To the tune of “twinkle, twinkle, little star)
I will smile and play with you.
Jesus helped his good friends, too.
I can show I care for you
To help you know that God loves you.

Tell It
Jesus Helped His friends (John 13:2-5)
One day, Jesus and his friends walked and walked.
Their feet were very dirty!
So Jesus helped his friends.
He poured water into a big bowl.
Jesus washed His friends’ feet and dried them with a towel.
Jesus loved to help His friends.
People at church love to help you, too.
