Stewardship Campaign concludes


Most grateful thanks to everyone who returned a pledge card to support the ministry of the Church of the Resurrection for 2024. Your financial gifts make possible our wonderful Christian programs and outreach to the greater community.


Creator God, may these gifts honor the work you have given us to do here at the Church of the Resurrection. May we bless, break, and share these gifts of time, talent, and treasure with our neighbors, being rooted in joy, rooted in love, and rooted in Abundance. Amen.

CSL Christmas Tree

Tomorrow last day to bring gifts


Please bring a gift worth approximately $25 for children, teens, and adults and place it unwrapped under the tree tomorrow, December 10.


We'll take them to CSL for distribution at their annual Christmas Store for families.


Thank you for your continued support. Your gift will brighten Christmas morning for a child or person who otherwise would not receive a gift.

Poinsettias and other seasonal flowers will grace our worship space during the Christmas season.

Christmas flower donations given for special thanksgivings or in memory of a loved one are very appropriate. A list of memorials and thanksgivings will be provided in the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day bulletins.
