Service

More importantly, the church’s Facebook post emphasized that through serving and donating, members could impact the lives of families living across Southern California.

Rock Church also asked them to pray that each participant would personally encounter the Lord Jesus Christ during the program. The church wants them to accept Jesus’ hope this Christmas season.
