Parish Hall Building Update
The parish hall renovation construction revealed prayers that were written by Resurrection founders on the wood studs from the original construction. On the door frame into the parish hall, this message was written by our "Mama" Barbara Brown Taylor+. On Sunday, January 8th, we will have markers available for you to write your prayers and wishes on the studs in the new parish hall for future generations of Resurrection faithful.

Women's Bible Study
First & Third Thursdays, beginning January 5, 2017
"We will begin our new Bible study,
Finding I Am
, in January. We meet at 6:00 on the first and third Thursdays at the church.
Due to construction, we may have to be flexible on our meeting place - this is a good thing! In this study, we will be discussing the 7 "I Am" statements from the Gospel of John. Our own Tera Johnston will be leading this study.
If you have any questions, please contact Tera, Patty Kidd or me. We will be glad to help.
We hope you all can make it and ... bring a friend!"
