Take a quick look at our upcoming events/activites below:
Hi Resurrection Blue Springs,
I’m writing this note on behalf of Pastor Penny as she and Bill are on vacation in San Diego. Hopefully they’ve had a refreshing get away. They will be back to join us for worship on Sunday.Thursday, Pastor Adam and Debi Nixon brought over 60 young pastors and clergy to our campus. They were here for training at Leawood and were visiting the West and Downtown campuses as well. It was such an encouraging time to share with them about all that God is doing among us and through us at Blue Springs! I got to brag about you and talk about how we are a welcoming, generous and inviting church!
This Saturday we will be gleaning a vegetable garden near Raytown. This is a fantastic opportunity to serve for the whole family. We will meet at the church at 9am and caravan to – 8500 Kentucky Ave, Kansas City, MO 64138. Anyone who would rather go there directly can meet at the location at 9:30am. Currently, the forecast for Saturday is a sunny 61 degrees, so it will probably be in the 50’s in the morning. We will be doing gardening activities so, bring gloves, wear comfortable layers and protective shoes that can get damp and dirty. If you can please bring gardening tools. You should label them with your name.
Here is a list of items to bring if you have them:
Wheel barrows
Chain saws (only if you’ve been chain saw trained)
Shovels, pruners, buckets, rakes, hoes
This should be a fun and rewarding day for all!
Just a reminder, as a way to encourage our first time visitors to enter at our main entrance where we’re fully staffed to welcome and provide hospitality with coffee and goodies, I would like to ask our members without children in KiDS COR and ourSunday volunteers to park on the east side of the lot on the far north end. An increased numbers of cars on the east side will draw to our main entrance and leave the best spots closer to the door open for our guests. I appreciate your willingness to make this change for our guests.

I encourage you be sure and join us in worship this Sunday as Pastor Adam will finish our series on the life and ministry of the apostle Paul. He will share how God’s Holy Spirit promises to empower and lead us no matter where our journey takes us.
Oh one more thing. Go Royals! World Series bound!
