Take a quick look at our upcoming events/activites below:
Greetings Resurrection Blue Springs,
What a week for our city! The Chiefs tromp the Patriots on Monday. Royals win the Wildcard on Tuesday. We have our first play off win last night beating the best team in baseball and the weeks not over yet. Up until this week, I’ll have to admit, I couldn’t have named the Royals roster but now I’m digging out the blue gear and planning for the next game.
So you might ask, why should this matter to me now? It matters because this is my tribe. Our whole city is being drawn together around our team and I want to be a part of it. We’ve been given a great reason to come together around tables to cheer and celebrate. As we learned in last week’s sermon, this was a key element in Christ’s ministry. Jesus recognized the power and importance of community drawing together around a common table. He knew and offered to all a place to belong, a team to be a part of.
So in support of our team and our desire to drawn our city further together, you’re all invited to wear your Royal blue on Sunday. We’re going to take a picture of each service and post the one wearing the most blue on facebook to show our support for our team. If you didn’t get a chance to hear Len Sweet’s message last Sunday about bringing back the table, I recommend you go online and listen.
This Sunday Pastor Adam will be back and we will pick up our series on the Apostle Paul and continue with his first missionary journey. We’ll also be sharing holy communion together for World Communion Sunday. I hope you can join us.
