The First Sunday After Christmas
December 29, 2019
 
"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar. 
We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.  
 
We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and
reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs,   
hurts, joys, and interests."

Dear Friends in Christ,
 
Merry Christmas! Patty and I sincerely hope that the remembrance of Christ's birth brings you much peace and hope. As we celebrate Christmas, we would like to thank you for your presence and prayers as part of our parish family at Resurrection.
 
Just as the shepherds were led to a humble stable in Bethlehem to worship the infant Jesus, so have we been led to be together at this time and in this place to sing with the angels: "Glory to God in the highest and peace to all people on earth!" We hope that God's presence will be made known to you not only this Christmas day but every day.
 
Know that we pray for you, your loved ones and your intentions. Thank you for lifting us in prayer as well. May you have the grace to find happiness and joy this Christmas and throughout the New Year... and may we meet each day in our prayers!
 
In joyful hope,
Scott & Patty Kidd
 
Shining our Light:
2020 Annual Giving Campaign

Thank you for being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God.  What a blessing and honor to be stewards of what God has given to us!  Thank you for supporting our ministry and mission at Resurrection and allowing Resurrection members to be beacons of light in our parish and out in the community. No matter what amount you pledge to Resurrection, your commitment makes a difference in the ministry and mission we do. As part of your spiritual discipline, we hope you will make sure to joyfully turn in your pledge so we can continue to shine our light in the parish and in our community. 

You can pledge by filling out a card found in the narthex, or the easiest and most secure way to offer your pledge is by going to   https://www.resurrectionsautee.com/estimate-of-giving-for-2020. 

We hope to have all 2020 commitments turned in by December 8th. Thank you for being a blessing!
