Let's journey together

Our annual stewardship campaign begins this Sunday, November 3.

Please pick-up your stewardship packet at church and return your pledge card as soon as possible, but no later than Sunday, December 1 - the first Sunday in Advent.

Next year will be a challenge for our small church financially. Our expenses have increased substantially, while we have lost several beloved members. Your giving to and support of Resurrection will be more important than ever. We need to ensure our church continues to thrive.

We know generosity is an individual journey, Giving to the church is a powerful way to share your blessings and make a positive impact in our community. Not only does generosity support important programs and outreach, but it also enriches your own spirit and fosters a sense of connection and purpose. The rewards of giving extend beyond material support; they cultivate joy, gratitude, and a deeper sense of belonging.

This is a journey we make together, a Walk in Love!
