A few good men and some pickups

Saturday, March 3

at 9:00 am

Weather permitting, we need some volunteers next Saturday, March 3, beginning at 9:00 am to load up the leftover debris from the Narthex Addition project and take it to the Biggs for our next Resurrection bonfire.

Many hands make for quick work. Please bring gloves and wear good shoes.

Please contact Bill Carle or Joe Owen if you can help. We also need a couple pickup trucks we can load!

CSL relays its sincere gratitude

Recent donations delivered

Annie and Stew Scott picked up the soup donations and delivered them to CSL as well as all the items donated to the Mitten Tree.

The Blue Springs Community Services League (CSL) has responded with theiir sincere thanks and gratitude for our congregation's generosity and continuous support.

Great job Resurrection!

Parking Volunteers still needed

Contact Elaine Gilligan or Bill Carle

Our recent "hard work" parking cars at the Cathedral during downtown events has resulted in approximately $10,000 in funds for our parish so far this year!

The good news is there are several more big events and parking opportunities coming very soon. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to help!

Please contact Elaine Gilligan or Bill Carle to volunteer.

Bring your Best Choice labels

Collection box in the Narthex

We're off to a fast start! We already have over 500 labels for the new year.

Please remember to clip and collect labels from products with the Best Choice®, Clearly by Best Choice®, and Best Choice® Superior Selections® logos and bring them to church for us to redeem them for $.03 per label!

There is a collection box in the Narthex. Best Choice® products are available at Price Chopper stores. Make sure you clip the labels to show the UPC code with the words Best Choice®. (Please see the picture.)

Thank you Meg Swant for coordinating this project.
