Easter Weekend at RCC: A Time to Celebrate, Connect, and Invite
Spring is in full bloom, and with it comes the most pivotal moment in our faith—Easter Sunday! At RCC, we’re gearing up for a weekend packed with opportunities to reflect, rejoice, and reach out. Mark your calendars for these Easter Weekend events, and let’s make this a season of spiritual renewal for ourselves, our families, and those we love.
  • Good Friday Service: Friday, April 18th at 6pm.  This is a great time to pause and reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus, setting the stage for the joy of resurrection. Families and individuals will come together in RCC’s Worship Center.  Good Friday Service has become a pivotal part of our spiritual preparation for Easter Sunday.  I’d encourage you to make it a part of your tradition as well. 
  • Easter Egg Hunt: Saturday, April 19th at 11am on RCC’s Front Lawn.  Bring the kids for a fun-filled morning of hunting eggs and celebrating new life in Christ! Food and other activities will be provided for the entire family!  Contact our Children’s Director, Jamie Fleming, if you would like to volunteer or have questions:  479-224-1539.  Even friends that have church families already may enjoy an invitation to our Easter egg hunt! 
  • Easter Sunday Services: Sunday, April 20th at 9:30am and 11:00am.  Two chances to gather and proclaim, “He is risen!” as we worship the risen Savior together.  Easter Sunday Services are incredible for the entire family.  We’ll have more of a breakfast spread in The Gathering Room and near the Children’s Check-In area!  Our photo area will be updated for awesome family Easter pics! We’re expecting a record attendance that day, so we’re recruiting help with the parking lot guides and ushers to help families find spots and seats (don’t forget to scoot to the center to make room for our friends on the ends!)!

These events aren’t just dates on a calendar—they’re moments to nurture our spiritual health and that of our families. The resurrection isn’t a distant story; it’s the heartbeat of our faith. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:17-19, “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins... But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” Easter reminds us that our hope is alive, and attending these events helps us root ourselves and our loved ones in that truth.
 
The Power of an Invitation
Scattered across our campus, you’ll find invitations for Easter Weekend—simple tools with incredible potential. Inviting friends, co-workers, and family to join us might feel daunting, but here’s the good news: they’re more likely to say “yes” than we often realize! Easter is a natural time for people to step into a church, curious about the story that’s shaped history. By extending an invitation, you’re not just filling a seat—you’re offering a chance to encounter the risen Christ!  Think about it: “The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said’” (Matthew 28:5-6). That’s the message we get to share! Inviting others isn’t just a kind gesture; it’s part of our mission to be a church of Disciples Creating Disciples. One conversation could spark a journey of faith.
 
Why Easter Matters
Easter Sunday isn’t just a tradition, it’s the cornerstone of what we believe. It’s the day death lost its grip, and life won. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3). This hope isn’t meant to be kept to ourselves; it’s a gift to celebrate and share. Bringing someone along to hear this truth could be the start of their own new birth.
 
Let’s Make It a Family Affair
We encourage you to attend these events—not just for yourself, but for your family’s spiritual growth. From the reflective depth of Good Friday to the joy of Easter morning, these moments shape us. And when you invite someone to join you, you’re living out Jesus’ call in John 20:21: “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” That’s discipleship in action—loving others enough to point them to the empty tomb.  So, grab an invitation (or ten!) from around campus, pray for an opportunity, and ask someone to come with you. Let’s fill our services with voices praising the risen King—and watch how God uses us to grow His family.

See you Easter Weekend, RCC!
 
In Christ,
Zach

Dear Rogers Christian Church Family,

I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I sit down to write this letter to you all. From the moment my family and I arrived, you have embraced us with open arms, warm smiles, and a genuine love that reflects the heart of Christ. The incredible welcome we have received from this church body has made us feel right at home, and for that, we are deeply thankful.

It is no small thing to say that we feel truly blessed by God’s calling to serve and worship alongside you here at Rogers Christian Church. To be part of this vibrant, faithful community is a gift—one we don’t take lightly. We see God’s hand at work in bringing us together, and we’re humbled to join you in the journey He has laid out for this congregation.

Looking ahead, I am filled with excitement about the future of RCC and RCC Worship. I can’t wait to see how God continues to move in our midst—through our worship, our ministries, and our shared mission of disciples making disciples. You can feel the joy and Spirit here, and I’m eager to see how we’ll grow together, leaning into God’s grace and guidance every step of the way.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your kindness, your support, and your faith. We’re so grateful to be part of this family, and I look forward to all that’s to come as we walk this road together.

With love and appreciation,  
Keith Torres

Carta Pastoral a los Hogares y Matrimonios
Serie: “Cultivando Corazones”

Amados hermanos en Cristo,

Con gozo en el corazón y gratitud al Señor por lo que está haciendo en medio de nosotros, les escribo estas líneas pastorales como una semilla más en el jardín de sus corazones, hogares y matrimonios. Durante las últimas semanas, a través de la serie “Cultivando Corazones”, hemos meditado juntos en la importancia de cuidar el terreno de nuestra alma, de sembrar con intención y de permitir que el Espíritu Santo sea quien riegue y dé fruto.

Quiero hablar hoy, de forma especial, al corazón de los matrimonios, de los padres, de cada familia representada en nuestra iglesia. Vivimos tiempos en los que la unidad familiar es constantemente puesta a prueba, pero es también en estos tiempos donde más debemos afirmar nuestras raíces en Cristo. Él es el centro, la fuente y el sustentador de toda relación sana, de toda reconciliación genuina y de todo amor verdadero.

Dios nos ha llamado no solo a tener hogares, sino a cultivar hogares que reflejen Su gloria. Así como un agricultor no siembra al azar, sino con propósito, ustedes y yo estamos llamados a sembrar palabras de vida, actos de servicio, perdón y compasión en nuestros matrimonios y familias. La Palabra nos enseña en Proverbios 24:3–4:

“Con sabiduría se edificará la casa, y con prudencia se afirmará; y con ciencia se llenarán las cámaras de todo bien preciado y agradable.”

Querido matrimonio, no se cansen de sembrar. Querida familia, no pierdan la esperanza en el proceso. Aunque a veces parezca que el terreno está duro, o que el fruto tarda en verse, confíen: Dios es fiel. Él bendice cada esfuerzo por amar, cada oración en medio del conflicto, cada acto de humildad que rompe el orgullo.

Hago un llamado a que pongamos al Señor en el centro: en nuestras conversaciones, decisiones, prioridades y sueños. Que Él no sea un invitado en el hogar, sino el Dueño del hogar. Que no recurramos a Él solo en la tormenta, sino que caminemos con Él aún en la calma.

Que esta carta sea un recordatorio y una oración viva:
Que sigan cultivando corazones que amen a Dios.
Que los matrimonios se fortalezcan en la gracia.
Que los padres críen con ternura y firmeza en la Palabra.
Que nuestros hogares sean altares donde Cristo es exaltado.

Estoy orando por ustedes, creyendo que esta serie ha sido más que una enseñanza: ha sido una siembra divina. Y el que comenzó la buena obra en ustedes, la perfeccionará (Filipenses 1:6).

Con amor pastoral,
Pr. Arturo Mejía

Pastoral Letter to Homes and Couples
Series: "Cultivating Hearts"

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

With joy in my heart and gratitude to the Lord for what He is doing in our midst, I write these pastoral lines to you as one more seed in the garden of your hearts, homes and marriages. Over the past few weeks, through the "Cultivating Hearts" series, we have meditated together on the importance of caring for the soil of our souls, sowing with intention, and allowing the Holy Spirit to water and bear fruit.

I want to speak today, in a special way, to the heart of married couples, of parents, of every family represented in our church. We live in times when family unity is constantly put to the test, but it is also in these times that we must most affirm our roots in Christ. He is the center, the source, and the sustainer of every healthy relationship, of all genuine reconciliation, and of all true love.

God has called us not only to have homes, but to cultivate homes that reflect His glory. Just as a farmer does not sow randomly, but with purpose, you and I are called to sow words of life, acts of service, forgiveness, and compassion in our marriages and families. The Word teaches us in Proverbs 24:3–4:

"By wisdom a house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be established; and with knowledge the chambers will be filled with every precious and pleasant good."

Dear couple, do not tire of sowing. Dear family, do not lose hope in the process. Even if it sometimes seems that the ground is hard, or that the fruit takes time to be seen, trust: God is faithful. He blesses every effort to love, every prayer in the midst of conflict, every act of humility that breaks pride.

I call on us to put the Lord at the center: in our conversations, decisions, priorities, and dreams. May He not be a guest in the home, but the Master of the home. May we not turn to Him alone in the storm, but walk with Him even in the calm.

May this letter be a reminder and a living prayer:

May they continue to cultivate hearts that love God.
May marriages be strengthened in grace.
May parents nurture with tenderness and firmness in the Word.
May our homes be altars where Christ is exalted.

I am praying for you, believing that this series has been more than a teaching: it has been a divine seeding.
And he who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6).

With pastoral love,
Pr. Arturo Mejía

April: A Season of New Life!

March was an incredible month as we explored the power of the stories Jesus told. Through His parables, kids learned that God helps us know what’s true, we can give back to God, He sends us helpers, He gives us second chances, and we belong in His family. Watching them engage with these truths and grow in their faith has been such a joy!

April: Growing in Faith

Spring is a time of new beginnings, and what better way to celebrate than by learning about the greatest new beginning of all—Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection! Just like a gardener nurtures seeds, Jesus cultivated faith in His followers so they could grow closer to God. In this four-week series, kids will discover:

God sent Jesus to save us.

Jesus understands when we’re hurting.

Jesus makes all things new.

Jesus connects us to God.

We are especially excited to celebrate Easter with your family! Join us for our Easter Egg Hunt at 11 AM on Saturday and then on Sunday during kids worship for our 3rd annual Balloon Drop as we rejoice together—HE IS RISEN!

We can’t wait to celebrate the greatest gift of all with your children. Thank you for letting us be part of their faith journey!

Blessings!
Jamie

Sing It
(Tune of “Jingle Bells” chorus)
Oh, God made ducks
And rabbits and squirrels
And little birds to sing.
God made you and God made me.
Yes, God made everything!
(Repeat)
