Events in the Life of the Church

Local Church Life

     The WIM host a Back to School Bash for students returning to school in the Fall; in addition, we have a Fall Fling in October, as well as Reformation Sunday evening fellowship. We have a Thanksgiving Luncheon in November and Advent Lessons and Carols in December followed by a Service of Lights and Communion before Christmas.  

     We enjoy a Valentine's Dinner and celebrate St. Patrick's Day.    Preparing for Holy Week in the Spring, we observe Lent beginning with FAT Tuesday and Ash Wednesday and look forward to our Easter Sunrise Vigil and breakfast at the end of Holy Week; we also have an Easter Egg Hunt on Holy Saturday.  In the Summer, we plan a Vacation Bible School for the children.

Community Involvement

     In the community, Rock Church participates in Communiversity at Lander University and participate in Greenwood's Live After Five activities in historic downtown Greenwood.  We are equally involved in the local Chamber of Commerce activities and support the local Soup Kitchen, Greater Greenwood United Ministry, the Gideons and the Faith Home for men and women.  In November, we collect shoeboxes of gifts for Samaritan's Purse.
