Olathe, Kansas, United States - The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection West eNote with Pastor Jason Gant for Friday, 5 September 2014
Resurrection West,
This Sunday will be a great day of worship as Pastor Adam concludes The Power of Words series. We also have the Cedar Creek Triathlon happening early Sunday morning - start time of 7am for the race. Our children made signs to encourage the racers as they pass by our campus. This is a great opportunity to support this community event and I know many of you are racing. I can't speak for Nathan Brooks, who is also racing, but those signs of encouragement will lift me up as I bike by our campus early Sunday morning! Here are a couple of the signs our kids made.
We have been assured that vehicle access for the 9am service will not be an issue. The roads are scheduled to be clear after 8:30am. If you serve on the worship team, tech team, usher, security, etc. you will need to arrive before 6:30am to get access to the campus – otherwise wait until after 8:30am. Access traffic before 6:30am will be detoured to Dunraven (just east of West Valley Parkway). Our amazing parking lot volunteers will be present (with orange vests on) to assist in guiding you in before 6:30am. See this map below.
Here are some upcoming opportunities for ministry. Many are happening this week. We hope you will consider getting plugged in this fall with the many discipleship opportunities. Don’t know where to begin? Consider Alpha!
United Methodist Women Rez West Circle will meet Thursday, Sept. 11, at noon in the Lower Level Theatre. This will be a "Tossed Salad Lunch," so please bring something to toss in the salad. We will assemble birthing kits that the United Methodist Committee on Relief distributes to developing countries. UMW is committed to improving global maternal health. Rez West Circle meets once a month for mission opportunities and programs on current issues. All women are welcome. For information, contact Ann Phillips at annphillips@ku.edu or 913-390-6519.
FaithWork Is Saturday, September 13 - 9am Adults, students and children of all ages are invited to join together and serve God by serving those in need through FaithWork. We will meet in the Resurrection West Sanctuary for breakfast snacks, coffee, project descriptions and prayer. Then we will stay on site and work on a variety of family friendly mission opportunities. We should be finished with all projects and clean-up by 11:30 am. For more information, contact Chris.Holliday@cor.org.
Alpha - Want to explore life’s big questions? The Alpha Course begins Sept. 21, in the Resurrection West Sanctuary immediately following worship (around 6:15pm). Alpha is open to anyone who wants to explore the Christian faith. Sessions meet for 10-weeks and begin with a catered meal, followed by a short talk and discussion. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion, so bring your curiosity and most pressing questions. Childcare and children’s meals are available. Visit rezwest.org/alpha

Men's Fly-Fishing retreat has 28 men signed up to go. We still have 2 spots available, if you are interested. Email me if you'd like to find out more or grab one of those spots at jason.gant@cor.org.
I am excited to be speaking at the first session of our Saturday morning men's breakfast and Bible study tomorrow morning. We are reading through Tony and Lauren Dungy's new book called Uncommon Marriage. Breakfast is catered by HyVee for only $5 and there is still space to join us from 8:00-9:30am downstairs in the Bible Theater. Hope to see you there.
Finally, I’m headed out to attend the Olathe Chamber of Commerce’s Business Lunch Series today on the topic of Community Engagement and the Benefits of Business. I’m looking forward to it! Have a wonderful weekend filled with joy!
Looking forward to worshipping with you on Sunday,
