THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION will be celebrated this Sunday, July 3. For those who will not be able to attend in-person worship, please take time during the coming week to prepare for the Sacrament.
FOOD OFFERING SUNDAY IS RETURNING Beginning in July, Rock Lake is bringing Food Offering Sunday back! It will be on the Communion Sunday of each month. We will have a wagon in the narthex into which you may put your food offering. The offering will be donated to Heart & Hand. So, each Communion Sunday, may the Holy Spirit remind each of us to share not only the Bread of Life, but also food with those who are less fortunate than we.
NEXT SUNDAY, THE POST WORSHIP POTLUCK will return to the parlor, with attendees invited to bring a dish from home to share. Please call the church office to let Sandy know what dish you are bringing. If you are not able to call during the week, read the email bulletin flyer for next Sunday. It will have a summary of what dishes are already committed. You can then 'fill in the blanks' with the dish you bring. We welcome you to worship services in the Sanctuary at 10:00 am.
Our Deepest Sympathy

The service and celebration of life was held at Rock Lake Presbyterian Church, 905 Village Drive, South Charleston, WV on Friday, June 24 at 1:00 p.m.

Nurture Time
Please use these suggested scriptures, questions, and activities to help you explore your faith.
July 3 – Fourth Sunday after Pentecost: Read: Galatians 6:7-16
Galatians 6:10 reads, “So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all…” What will you do for good this coming week? Write down three things that you will do to help God’s people.
July 10 – Fifth Sunday after Pentecost: Read Psalm 25: 1-10
The Psalmist said, “O my God, in you I trust.” Take a few moments today to tell God about things that worry you and any problems you may have. Tell God that you trust God to take care of you. Be quiet and listen for God’s voice. Remember your prayer of trust throughout the week.
July 17 – Sixth Sunday after Pentecost: Read Psalm 52
At the end of Psalm 52, the Psalmist tells God, “I will proclaim your name, for it is good.” Take a sheet of paper and fold it in half. On the outside, write “God is Good.” On the inside write all the names that you can think of for God. Say each of these names out loud, adding after each name, “God is Good.”
July 24– Seventh Sunday after Pentecost: Read Psalm 138
God wants us to praise God with all our heart. That is a lot of praising! Cut out a heart from a piece of paper then fill up the heart with words and phrases that tell of the wonderful things you believe about God. Tape the heart up somewhere where you will see it all week, reminding you to praise God with all your heart.
July 31– Eighth Sunday after Pentecost: Read Luke 12:13-21
“Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Choose some of your money or a possession and give it away to someone who needs it. Praise God that you are able to five away some of what you have.
