Rochester Covenant Church

Quick one for the weekend: our RCC team is walking together for Walk for Water Saturday morning, 8:45am.

Two ways to help — show up and walk with us (no advance signup needed), or donate from wherever you are and help us hit our goal. Both are real ways to be part of it.

Details on our team page:

Join me for World Vision's Global 6K! With World Vision’s Global 6K, you can join me and thousands of others, walking, running, or rolling to bring clean water to children in need. Now more than ever, clean water is essential to protect vulnerable children and families. Will you join us? worldvision6k.org

Sunday's sermon landed on a quiet, hard question: who in your life needs to know you will bear with them? Not fix them. Not advise them. Just stay.

Tonight at 6pm: every generation of RCC is going to be at the Family Promise Rochester Promise House (1621 10th St SE). Working adults and families building garden beds and picnic tables. Our youth planting flowers with the kids. Six weeks into a series called From Generation to Generation, and here we are, all of us, in one place, working on the same yard.

Bring tools, work gloves, and extra smiles. RSVP Jeff Thompson if you can.

Yesterday we sat with the section of Psalm 78 where Israel keeps demanding more and God keeps keeping the door open. The whole sermon turned on one Hebrew word that rhymes with "womb" and on Hosea's picture of God as a mother who lifts a child to her cheek and bends down to feed.

We have been borne with. The question for the week: who in your life needs to know you are willing to bear with them?

• Workday at the church — Wednesday, 9–11:30am
