Stewardship Campaign

Our annual stewardship campaign will get underway soon with the theme Rooted in Abundance. It's a reminder to us that we are inspired to give because so much has been given to us. Giving is not transactional. We do not give in proportion to how we feel we have benefited or suffered, rather we give because of the love we have experienced from God and from whom all blessings flow.

10:00 am

Saturday, Oct. 14


Please bring your pet (all God's creatures welcomed!) whether it be furry, feathery, scaly or slimy for a blessing today at 10:00 in the parking lot.

Parking Lot Ministry helpers needed

 

Please volunteer!


Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral opens their parking lot for events at the Convention Center/Bartle Hall. We are fortunate to have been approved to be an organization to provide volunteers to collect the parking fees and direct people to open parking spots. In the last 2 years, a small number of volunteers from Resurrection has raised nearly $20,000 that has been used for SO MANY projects including: New HVAC, removal of dead trees on our property, work in the choir loft, kneel pad replacement soon to come; and a church security system (outdoor and indoor) to be installed. We need and use these funds!! This goes so well with stewardship of TIME, talent, and treasure.


It is easy and fun to work together, greet happy people, and no preparation or pre-training needed! You can sign up with a friend ….not required to be a member of Resurrection! Please contact ELAINE GILLIGAN at 816-547-9091 or e-mail at evgilligan@comcast.net NOW to be included on future invitations to sign up to volunteer.


There is an event on Friday/Saturday 10/20 & 10/21 with openings!
