“When we treat the stranger as someone who does not bear the face of God to us - someone without humanity, without their own story, language and traditions - we ignore [the biblical] challenge. Instead of seeing them as bearing the face of God, we see them as the face of fear.” Take part in the webinar ”Engaging as People of Faith Amid the Rise in For-Profit Immigration Detention” on June 24 to learn more about this contemporary challenge and the resource quoted above, plus ways the church can respond.

Prayer concern updates/ June 10th

~We just received news from Lorraine Dress, a former member of Rock of Ages, that she was informed by a family member earlier today that Sue Corkish has entered The Church Triumphant. Sue is the wife of ROA founding pastor, Bill Corkish. He passed away several years ago. We do not have any other additional information. Please remember the family in your thoughts and prayers.

~Additional new prayer concern: Tim Haxton (son of Pastor Cecie Haxton) has been diagnosed with brain cancer and is scheduled for surgery at Emory during the next day or two. Please keep him in your prayers.

We will keep you updated as we hear more from these families and everyone on our prayer list which is located on the last page of our Worship Bulletins each Sunday.

**JoAnne L expresses her gratitude to everyone at ROA for the love and prayers for her and her family after the death of her sister, Carolyn J

Our members donated approximately 350 pairs of mens and women’s underwear that will now be distributed when asked to our community. WOW! What a tremendous blessing this is for our neighbors in need.
