Going For Gold
The greatest athletes in the world are gathering together this month in Beijing to compete for Olympic gold. All of the nations of the world are turning their collective attention to this one event to cheer on their countries sons and daughters. The Olympic games serve a reminder to believers that we too have a race that we are running and a price to be obtained. And just like the athletes at this year’s Games, we must be constantly training, throwing off the things that hinder us, enduring till the end, and inspiring those around us. Join us in the month of August as we highlight these important aspects of our Christian lives.

The ROC is throwing a huge Back to School Bash for all of the local children. EVERYONE is invited. We plan on doing some heavy-duty advertising in the area as well, so we need you to do your part as well to let people know.

This is designed to be a community outreach and most everything is free to all who attend.

Here's everything you have to look forward to:

• Inflatables including
  • A GIANT 65 foot long water slide
  • A Moonwalk
  • A 5 in 1 Obstacle Course
  • Joust Arena
  • Castle/Slide Combo
  • Sumo Wrestling
  • A Dunk Tank
• Food including
  • A Chili Cook-Off Contest
  • A Hot Dog Eating Contest at 1 pm
  • Hot Dog & Chip combo for $2
  • Cotton Candy
  • Sno-Cones
• And a Giant Tent to help keep you cool

Corey & Naomi Pryor (children of Bill Pryor from Australia) will be conducting a two night worship/entering into His presence seminar next Wednesday & Thursday night. Corey was a former member of the Newsboys and Naomi has released several albums on her own. They are a powerful duo who greatly desire to help others get closer to the Father.
