Seventh Sunday After Pentecost
"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."

World Relief Needs Our Help!
Although our World Relief Refugee Resettlement Donation Drive is not scheduled to begin until August, we have been contacted by World relief regarding an urgent need. A Burmese refugee family of 8 will be arriving on July 27 and Resurrection, along with our partner churches, has been asked to provide furniture and household items for an apartment World Relief has rented for the family. A list of items required for each apartment is on the bulletin board in the hallway opposite the mailboxes.
The big items needed include a dining room table and 6 chairs, one queen, one full and 4 twin bed frames, dresser or chest of drawers, night stand, sofa and chairs, and end table. I will be requesting contributions to purchase items that are not donated.
I will also need volunteers to transport the donations to World
Relief headquarters and set up the apartment, which is scheduled for Wednesday, July 26.
We have received five separate furniture donations for the refugee family arriving next week. All of the furniture needs to be picked up and taken to the storage facility. I have the means to transport the furniture, but desperately need assistance with loading and unloading. The furniture is in Cleveland, Sautee and Clarkesville, and the storage facility is off Duncan Bridge Rd. south of the river (Satchel Storage). One of the items is a sleeper sofa that I know I can't handle alone.
If you can help, I will work with your schedule.
Just shoot me a text or give me a call at 770-371-4570.
Thank you for your help and support. If you have any questions, please contact
Jan Kay.

Crosses Needed
We are collecting crosses to make an arrangement in the parish hall. The ones in this picture were made by Harold Riley using some of the wood out of Morris Braswell's shop. If you would like to donate a cross to be used in the arrangement, please bring it to church and put it on the table in the parish hall. We would like a variety of sizes and an assortment of materials; they do not have to be made of wood. If you have any questions, please contact Denise Dorsey at 706-969-0514 or
[email protected].

World Relief Refugee Resettlement Program
Resurrection has formed a partnership with Nacoochee Presbyterian
Church and Grace-Calvary Episcopal Church
to gather items that are needed
by World Relief to
help settle refugee families in the Metro Atlanta area. During the month of August, the three churches will be soliciting donations for the World Relief Refugee Resettlement Program. A storage space will be rented to store the donated items until they can be transported to the World Relief warehouse. A list of needed items has been posted on the bulletin board in the hallway to the left of the narthex. Please take a copy with you.
After church
each Sunday in August, a volunteer will be onsite at each church from 12:00 until 1:30 to accept donations of new and gently used household items and small items of furniture (e.g., lamps, dining room chairs). You can drop off donated items at any of the three churches.
On Saturday
August 12th and 26th, between 10:00 and 2:00, volunteers will be at the storage facility (location TBD) to collect larger items. Smaller furniture items and household goods will also be accepted on these dates. If possible, please bring donated furniture on these dates. If you cannot transport the furniture or household items yourself, contact Jan Kay at (770) 371-4570 or
[email protected], and arrangements will be made to have a volunteer pick up the items.
We are seeking volunteers for this endeavor, so please let Jan Kay know if you can assist. We will definitely need some help on August 12th and 26th.
