ROCK COMMUNITY GROUP
We meet quarterly for food and fellowship. We eat together as families and then the kids have activities while the parents share and have fellowship. If you and your family are touched by adoption and/or foster care – this if for you! Join us. Questions: rock@livingwatersmn.com
ROCK: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…”James 1:27
“I think about my own story and the pieces of my family history that I’m reclaiming, my identity of reclaiming roots and understanding of who I am. I was and always first claimed by Jesus, but there is a journey of reclaiming that for yourself and going through all the paths to understand that.” Kylie Peterson – adult adoptee
Adoption by a Christian family is a great way for children to become adopted children of God. Not all are called to adopt, but anyone can love and minister to orphan children through prayer, advocacy, giving to meet needs and helping others who adopt.
ROCK Grant: An adoption grant open to members/attenders of LivingWaters church.

Are you or someone you know walking through a season of single motherhood?
ROCK ministry is excited to offering Embrace Life Ministry starting this spring. Embrace Life is a ministry focusing on single moms whether through divorce, widowhood, or never married. It’s a welcoming, judgement-free community where women can connect with others for encouragement and support, discover hope when life feels overwhelming, learn to thrive as a single mom, and be introduced to the love God has for them.
We are in need of women that have a heart for those who find themselves as single parents. Opportunities are available from facilitating a group, childcare, or sharing about the ministry with others that might be interested in joining a group. For more information contact Beth Burris at 612-730-3122 or email bethann315@gmail.com
