This new ministry, called CREW, stands for Christians, Reaching, Encouraging, Witnessing. We are instructed in scripture to Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you (Matt. 28:19-20). CREW meets twice monthly. We met earlier this month and we will meet again on the 24th @ 7 PM. See Pastor Tyler for more information.

To the Family and Friends of Rocky Hock Church, Your out-pouring of love and support during our Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother's passing was, and continues to be, so very much appreciated. Your prayers, visits, cards, calls, food at the house and the wonderful meal you so graciously provided for our family prior to Mother's services, as well as donations made to the church building fund in her memory - all were such a blessing. Rocky Hock Baptist Church has been such an important part of our family and for Mother's life for all of her 90+ years. She felt very much supported by you even in her latter years when health issues limited her attendance. Thank you for honoring her in such meaningful ways. The Family of Eleanor Taylor There are no words that can express my heartfelt thanks for the sympathy you have extended toward my family during the loss of my Grandfather. I am deeply grateful to you. I cannot begin to tell you how amazed I was with the support you showed with your presence at the visitation and funeral. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the prayers, calls, texts, emails, and support during this journey of the past month. Pastor Tyler Cone
