Got your rock?

Did you get your rock Monday night?

Jesus was a master at using images, stories and metaphors to communicate kingdom truth, and on Monday at our Urgent Covenant Meeting we sought to do the same. Those present had the opportunity to get an eastern NC river rock, and I hope your family picked one up. (If not, stand by for how and when to get yours.) We thought it would a great way to make a kingdom and Covenant point.

The relevance of river rocks is found in Joshua chapter 4. Through Joshua, God instructed each of the twelve tribes to get a rock from the Jordan River. The nation of Israel had just miraculously passed through the river on dry ground, and God thought it best to guarantee their collective memory. By building a monument, those present and those in the future would more easily remember His amazing and faithful provision.

Sounds like a good plan for us as well.

In the coming weeks, you will be hearing much more about Crossing Together; a process of completing a journey Covenant began years ago; it’s one we will be completing as a congregation in the next 12 months or so.
If you were not with us, I hope you are curious.

We will be sharing this same urgent Covenant update at three upcoming Town Hall Meetings for those that were not able to attend. Since we took attendance on Monday night, we will be sending out targeted invitations to those who couldn’t make it, so everyone can hear directly from Branson and get their rock.

The dates and times are as follows: March 24 and 25th at 7PM; March 28th at 6PM.

PromiseKids will be available for each, so be on the lookout for a postcard reminder or our weekend bulletin for specific instructions.

We can never do enough to remind ourselves of God’s goodness and the urgency of getting the Gospel message out to the lost sheep Jesus cared for so much.

Please be sure get your rock!

Remembering Grace,
Charlie
