Special Offering
Additional Information
As Jesus says in Matthew 25, the Church belongs with those in need - with those suffering from natural and human caused disasters, with those lacking access to food, water and healthcare, and with those struggling for justice, righteousness, and peace. Through our gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing, we are there because we are the Church together. During this time of Lent, we join with many denominations in this effort to share.
Received during the season of Lent, each gift to One Great Hour of Sharing helps improve the lives of the suffering and the vulnerable through three live-saving programs
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance - Restorers of Streets to Live In
Presbyterian Hunger Program - Share Your Bread with the Hungry
Self-Development of People - Loose the Bond of Injustice.
IF WE ALL DO A LITTLE, IT ADDS UP TO A LOT!
Fill up your fish bank, write a check, or place cash in an envelop and send to Rock Lake Presbyterian Church and mark the gift for One Great Hour of Sharing. Place in the mail slot on Village Drive side of the building or mail to Rock Lake Presbyterian Church, 905 Village Drive, South Charleston, WV 25309.

Prayer:
Meet all the needs for which the world thirsts, O God. May your spring of justice, compassion and peace spring up quickly and may it spring up quickly in us.
And let all God's people say Amen

February 28 – Second Sunday in Lent: Read Mark 8:31-38
Lose your life. That’s what Jesus says here. We don’t like to be “losers,” but we do lose ourselves sometimes. We lose ourselves in our work, in our hobbies, in music, in a book or movie, and in other things we love. What does it mean for you to lose yourself in Christ? How would that save your life, as the scripture says? Say an honest prayer, asking God to help you lose yourself in Christ. Tell God what is hard about that, what scares you about it. Then sit in silence in God’s presence.
