Mike Fisk - Director of Worship
Hello there RRC family! This week, I’ve been spending some time reflecting on our volunteers for the Worship Team, and I wanted to ask you all to join me in showing our appreciation for them. Our Worship Team is made up of over fifty different volunteers, all of which are using their incredible God-given talent and skill to serve and lead us in worship. Our musicians put in tons of work throughout the week preparing the music on their own time, spending time away from their families Thursday nights for rehearsal, and getting up early Sunday mornings for our morning rehearsal and our worship service. We also have our Audio and Visual team who have spent tons of time learning how to run and operate our presentation program, and our sound board, and work extra hard to try and make sure everything runs smoothly on Sunday morning.
We have a selfless, hard-working, and extremely talented team and I am very thankful for each and every one of them. So if you see someone on stage this week, or any week, please let them know how much you appreciate them, and their leadership.
Finally, if you have a passion for music and worship, or if you like the behind-the-scenes audio/visual side of things, and you’re interested in joining RRC’s worship team, please email me at
mike@RockfordRC.org with your name and a little background on you, where you are interested in serving, and why.

REAL - Relationship through Encouragement, Authenticity, and Love. REAL Men is a group that believes God is actively working in our lives, and that we all have a story that He wants us to tell. It is not a Bible study or an accountability group, and it is not exclusive to RRC, so invite others! Each meeting will feature a speaker.
Note: Meet at Arnie's Restaurant, 34 S Squires St, downtown Rockford. The restaurant isn't open at that time, so we have the place to ourselves. Coffee and refreshments will be provided.

A Life Group is a small group of 8-12 people that focuses on three priorities – sharing, study, and support. Life Group members will commit to meet together at least every other week through the school season—and even better, through the summer. We call these “Life Groups” because they are focused on (1) helping us grow in our life in Christ and (2) sharing life together. If you are interested in joining a life group or starting one up, please contact our Life Group Coordinator,
Pam Jacobs.

We are currently collecting the following items. They can be placed in the giant wooden crate in the lobby.
North Kent Connect has put out an urgent plea to help them replenish their pantry. Their current supply is nearly depleted. Their biggest needs right now:
- low-sugar cereal & oatmeal
- canned tomato sauce & penne pasta
- canned spinach, beets, & pears
- monetary donations to help them purchase food in bulk
Throughout the year, we collect donation items for various community ministries such as North Kent Connect and Alpha Family Center of Cedar Springs. Signs in the lobby will tell you what items we are currently looking for.
