Scripture Reading
Luke 15:1-10
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
So he told them this parable: “Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
“Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Explorers Sunday School Class
The Explorers Sunday School class is studying the Bible one book at a time. We are finishing up 1 Corinthians in the next couple of weeks and will start on 11 Corinthians after that. We invite all who are searching for ways to grow in their Christian faith to come join us. We have great discussions as we don’t understand all we read. We talk it out and learn from each other. We have John MacArthur’s study guide to help us. We are ordering new books if you would like to have one. We meet in the room south of the library. Join us on our journey.

Sunday Worship Masking
Round Rock Christian Church Congregation,
The Guiding Board is watching the Covid levels in our community and as of this time we are at the level Medium or Yellow. We are strongly recommending that everyone who can please wear a mask during our gathering and worship time. Hopefully the levels will decrease soon, and we can get back to our new normal, but in the meantime stay safe – protect yourself and others – and stay healthy.
If you are at high risk for severe illness, talk to your healthcare provider about whether you need to wear a mask and take other precautions
• Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines
• Get tested if you have symptoms
People may choose to mask at any time. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should wear a mask.
If you are immunocompromised, learn more about how to protect yourself.
Find out more about the COVID-19 situation in Williamson County, Texas with COVID-19 Data Tracker.
Thank You,
Tasha York, Board Moderator
