FROM ZACH

Dear Church Family,

We are so grateful for the continued life change we are seeing across our ministries. Week after week, we hear stories of people taking next steps in faith, growing in community, and experiencing the transforming power of Jesus. It is a joy to watch God at work among us. Thank you for being part of what He is doing at Rogers Christian Church.

October is a very full month for many of our families. Between sports tournaments, school activities, and travel, schedules can get crowded quickly. If you know your family will be away for a weekend or longer, we would love for you to stay in touch with one of our church leaders or shepherds. This simple step helps us care for you well and keep you connected. Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us to consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, and not to give up meeting together. Staying linked to the body strengthens everyone.

This month we continue our message series called Unstoppable. We will be walking through the book of Acts all of October, watching the gospel move forward with power and courage. There is real value in being present each week as we dig deeper into the story, grow in our understanding, and learn how to apply these truths to everyday life. We believe God wants to strengthen our faith and fuel our mission as we study this book together. Make it a priority to be here as often as you can.

Mark your calendars for Overflow weekend on November 8th! This special gathering is our chance to worship together in one service, invite friends and family to experience the gift of worship with us, and celebrate the growth God has given our congregation over the past year. After the service we will share a meal and enjoy time as a church family. Our worship pastor, Keith, will have more details and exciting updates about Overflow in the weeks ahead. We hope you will plan to be part of this meaningful day. Be on the lookout for invitations around campus so you can invite family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers to Overflow!

As we move through this busy season, let’s remain faithful to our mission of being disciples who create disciples. Stay rooted in Jesus, stay connected to one another, and keep your eyes open for opportunities to share His love. We are grateful for each of you and excited for all that God still has in store for Rogers Christian Church.

See you Sunday, RCC!

In Christ,
Zach

Worship Ministry

Hey Family!

There is no greater healer than gratitude. When we take the time to pause and truly reflect on where God has brought us, our perspective begins to shift. It gently lifts our eyes up and out of the valleys we walk through, pointing our attention upward toward heaven. Gratitude does not mean ignoring our trials or pretending hardship doesn't exist; rather, it allows us to view our sufferings in the light of a Great God who loves us and is constantly working on our behalf.

Over these last couple of months, we have experienced that goodness firsthand as a congregation. We’ve had the joy of watching God move powerfully in the hearts of people through new baptisms and welcoming new members into our church home. Seeing lives renewed and our spiritual family grow is a precious gift. We don't just have to acknowledge what God is doing—we get to honor and celebrate His ongoing faithfulness together.

That joyful posture of praise is the heart behind Overflow, our annual Thanksgiving family celebration. On Sunday, November 8th, our entire RCC family will gather for one unified service at 11:00 AM. This special gathering will weave together bilingual worship in both English and Spanish, followed by our shared family mealtime. It will be a meaningful time to feast, fellowship, and lift our voices as one body to thank the Lord for all He has poured into our lives.

Bringing an event like Overflow to life requires many hands and willing hearts, and we would love for you to be a part of making it happen. We have opportunities to serve across multiple teams, with our greatest need being in the area of food preparation and hospitality. Sign-up sheets will be available in the Worship Center throughout the entire month of October. We invite you to step in, lend a hand, and get ready to celebrate all that God is doing in our midst!

Thank you for the opportunity to serve in this amazing place!

Comunidad Cristiana

Querida familia de Rogers Comunidad Cristiana:

Comenzamos un nuevo mes con varias oportunidades para servir, convivir y seguir creciendo juntos como iglesia.

El último sábado de octubre tendremos nuevamente Sweet Blessings. Desde las 6:00 a.m. prepararemos aproximadamente 100 bolsas de donas con notas y citas bíblicas, y a las 7:00 a.m. comenzaremos la entrega. Queremos que este ministerio sea más que entregar donas; queremos compartir esperanza, oración y el amor de Cristo. Necesitamos voluntarios que puedan ayudar a preparar, organizar, entregar las bolsas y compartir una palabra bíblica con las personas que llegan.

También celebraremos nuestro Día Cultural el sábado 17 de octubre a las 5:00 p.m. en el Worship Area. Tendremos comida, tradiciones, cultura y presentaciones de diferentes países. Este año se unirán también Congo, Perú, Puerto Rico y Filipinas. Será una gran oportunidad para celebrar la diversidad que Dios ha traído a RCC.

Y desde ahora queremos que aparten el 10 de diciembre a las 6:00 p.m. para nuestra Cena Navideña de Comunidad Cristiana. Nuestros tres C-Groups prepararán dramas o presentaciones navideñas y después disfrutaremos una cena juntos, donde cada familia podrá traer algo para compartir.

No veamos estas actividades solamente como cosas por hacer, sino como oportunidades para servir, invitar, amar y alcanzar a otros.

Gracias a todos los que sirven, oran, ayudan y dan de su tiempo.

Sigamos adelante juntos.

Somos RCC: alcanzando almas para Cristo.

Pastor Arturo Mejía
Rogers Comunidad Cristiana
Dear Rogers Christian Church Family,

As we begin a new month, we have several opportunities to serve, fellowship, and continue growing together as a church.

On the last Saturday of October, we will once again have Sweet Blessings. Beginning at 6:00 a.m., we will prepare approximately 100 bags of donuts with Bible verses and encouraging notes, and at 7:00 a.m. we will begin distribution. We want this ministry to be more than handing out donuts; we want to share hope, prayer, and the love of Christ. We need volunteers to help prepare, organize, distribute the bags, and share a Bible verse with those who come.

We will also celebrate our RCC Cultural Day on Saturday, October 17 at 5:00 p.m. in the Worship Area. We will enjoy food, traditions, culture, and presentations from different countries. This year, Congo, Peru, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines will also be represented. It will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the diversity God has brought to RCC.

Please also save December 10 at 6:00 p.m. for our Comunidad Cristiana Christmas Dinner. Our three home C-Groups will prepare Christmas dramas or presentations, followed by a shared dinner where each family can bring something to enjoy together.

Let us not see these events only as things to do, but as opportunities to serve, invite, love, and reach others.

Thank you to everyone who serves, prays, helps, and gives of their time.

Let us keep moving forward together.

We are RCC, reaching souls for Christ.

A Word from Isaac:
You ever been lost in the dark? This month we're attending the Corn Maze in Aurora, MO. It's  a super fun night of carnival games, getting lost in the dark in a maze, and sitting around a camp fire with dinner and snacks. The truth is, it's a good reminder of what Jesus does for us. Whenever a student gets truly lost in the maze, all they have to do is call out for help to the "maze marshal". It's a guy who stands on a platform above the maze and can give you directions on which way to go. The thing is, you have to admit you're lost before you can get help out of the maze. We have to admit that to Jesus in our own lives.  

Luke 19:10 says: "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”  

That's a pretty amazing thing. We have a King, a Savior, that came down and sought us out. He doesn't just stand on a platform, but instead meets us where we are to guide us back to the right path.  

If you're feeling distant or lost from Jesus this month, the first step to finding spiritual help is admitting that to Jesus in your prayers. "God, I feel lost. I don't know how to accomplish what I know you want me to do or how I'm supposed to feel." Maybe it's time to admit that to a Christian mentor or pastor as well: "I feel lost about "X"...What do I do?"

Don't stay lost. Let Jesus and His People come along side you and meet you where you are.

RCC Kids | October Newsletter

October is here, and we’re looking forward to a month of growing in God’s Word, building friendships, and getting ready to welcome our community for Light the Night!

Light the Night
October 31 | 6–8 p.m. | Rogers Christian Church
Bring your family, invite your friends and neighbors, and come enjoy a night filled with trunk or treat, food, a petting zoo, inflatables, and a special hayride! We’re excited to create a welcoming place where families can have fun, connect with our church, and experience the love of Jesus.

Help Us Make It Happen!

Light the Night takes lots of willing hands, and we would love for you to be part of it! We need helpers in several areas, with opportunities to serve both before the event and throughout the evening.

Our goal is 50 cars for trunk or treat! Whether you love decorating or prefer to keep things simple, your trunk can help us welcome families and make the night special.

Stop by the signup table in the back of the Worship Center to sign up your car or find another place to serve. There’s a role for a wide range of interests and abilities!

Special Prep Night | October 23
This year, we’re adding a special prep night to help finish the big projects for Light the Night. Come lend a hand as we build, assemble, decorate, and get everything ready for our guests! You don’t have to be especially crafty or handy to help—there will be plenty to do. Mark October 23 on your calendar and visit the signup table to get involved.

Growing Together in RCC Kids

As we spend time in God’s Word this month, we want our kids to grow in their understanding of who God is and how they can follow Him each day. Ask your child what they’re learning, practice their memory verse together, and look for opportunities to bring those conversations into everyday life.
Please also join us in praying for Light the Night—for our volunteers, the families who will attend, and the opportunities we’ll have to share the love of Jesus with our community.

Thank you for helping make RCC Kids a place where children and families are known, loved, and encouraged. We can’t wait to enjoy this special night with you!
