New to the church or feel like you could use a little refresher course on our Episcopal Church?

Father Jonathan is exploring interest in holding an Episcopal 101 class. Its an opportunity to better understand our faith and denomination and to discover what Christianity and the Episcopal Church mean to you. Episcopal 101 is a course for long-time members, inquirers, folks who are thinking about Baptism, Confirmation, or Reception into the Episcopal Church.

If you are interested in attending please let us know what time would work for you. We are considering either Tuesdays or Thursdays at 6:00 pm. Please take our poll below.

We need your help to park cars!

Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral offers parking for events at Bartle Hall for a fee and shares the proceeds with churches who volunteer as parking attendants

Resurrection has raised almost $20,000 so far from this opportunity with only a few dedicated volunteers. Those who have helped have been amazed at how easy and fun it can be!  All you have to do is collect the money and direct the people where to park. It is set up in 4 hour shifts and you work with a team of 3 or 4 people. You can sign up with a friend, even if they are not a member of Resurrection.

We need signups now for the RV Show on Jan 25-Jan 28 and the World of Wheels Show Feb 2-4. We will schedule you with an experienced person and carpool if desired.

Please don’t wait for warmer weather because there is not much opportunity in the summer months. The time is now! PLEASE don’t delay as shifts are limited and other organizations also participate.

Contact Elaine Gilligan or Bill Carle to answer questions and sign up!!
