Congregational Meeting and Dessert

Chapel Rock will hold its annual meeting during each morning service on Sunday, November 2. Members will vote to approve the spending plan for 2026. That evening at 6:30 p.m., everyone is invited back for an evening of dessert, worship, and prayer in Fellowship Hall.

 

Radical Hospitality

With many new faces visiting on Sundays, Chapel Rock is working to ramp up our Hospitality Ministry. Those currently serving as a greeter or volunteer at the Welcome Desk, or anyone interested in learning about these roles is invited to an informational dinner meeting on Wednesday, November 5, at 6:30 p.m. in WC113. These are two critical roles because guests encounter greeters and the Welcome Desk before anyone else. Please help fill this need! Come see what it’s all about!

 

Pastor Appreciation Month

October is Pastor Appreciation Month! Showing appreciation affirms the value of a pastor's labor and helps sustain his morale, strengthening his ability to lead with conviction. Appreciation can include words of encouragement, prayers, or could be thoughtful gifts. On Sundays, October 5, 12, and 19, there will be a kiosk dedicated to receiving appreciation cards. An added way to show appreciation is to include a gift card for shopping or dining. A list of the pastoral staff can be found at www.chapelrock.org/about/our-staff. For more information, contact Jenny Knoebel at knoebeljenny@gmail.com, or 317-443-4276 (call or text).
