Fall Outdoor Clean-Up Today

Saturday, October 21 at 9:00 am


Join us in the joy of serving and being good stewards of our building and grounds at our church work day on Saturday, October 21 beginning at 9:00 am.


There are a variety of tasks to do. Just show up and we'll find a job for you!

 

Stewardship Campaign

Our annual stewardship campaign will get underway soon with the theme Rooted in Abundance.


This year, as you pray about your commitment to our church, please tap into that nourishing structure of faith and generosity shown to us by an extravagant God, a patient Shepherd, and a gathering Spirit who call us to extend our networks and share our gifts with the world.


When you are rooted in abundance, you realize that your giving can be as boundless as the Creation that gave birth to us all. Thank you for your generosity and your prayerful consideration of your pledge to the Church of the Resurrection.

 

Remembering our Saints

Please submit your names


All Saints' is a service of remembrance in the church year for loved ones who have died.

 

We will read the names of our family and friends who have entered into eternal life during our service on All Saints'. 

 

Please call or e-mail Elaine Gilligan with your request or submit your names using this link.

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.
