Sign-up in the Narthex

Sign-up in the Narthex to see the Saturday matinee performance of An Old-Fashioned Family Murder on Saturday, November 16 at the New Theatre and Restaurant.

Starring TV star and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Sally Struthers, this performance was written by Tony Award Winner, Joe DiPietro.

Set in 1942, a junior homicide detective stumbles upon the murder of a famed mystery writer. Trapped in a mansion with several suspects, he finds himself outmatched by the cunning of the killer. His only hope in solving the case is his mystery-loving mother, who luckily is trapped in the mansion with him!

For Narthex addition

Resurrection is very grateful to the Diocese of West Missouri for a $17,500 grant to help in the cost of completing construction to make our building handicap accessible.

The lift has been installed, but we are waiting on replacement glass for panels damaged in shipping. We are also waiting on the railings for the stairs and balcony to arrive. The stair treads should be installed very soon.

Meanwhile, special thanks to Rich Conn and Les Woodward, who continue to work on trim and other projects on the addition.

To continue Uplift ministry

The Outreach Committee is looking for individuals or couples to take the lead on continuing our Uplift ministry.

This involves cooking a dish for 60 once a month in the church kitchen (taking about 3 hours) for later transportation to the Uplift organization for distribution to homeless in Kansas City.

Beverly Hudson has been consistently providing help and sweet treats for those ladled meals and has graciously agreed to continue to do so. Annie and Stew Scott are happy to continue to transport the meals to Uplift.

The Conns will train interested parties. If 4 volunteers were involved, it would involve 3 hours once every two months. If you are interested, please let Rich or Gabe Conn and Pat Carle know!
