Resurrection West,
This Sunday will be a great day of worship as we continue the half-truths series focusing on the saying; “Love the sinner, Hate the sin”. Please note that the 5pm worship will move to 4pm for this Sunday only. Plan on coming to worship before big game! The morning times will remain at 9:00am and 10:45am.
It’s been an exciting week of mission and ministry; packing backpacks, worship team rehearsals, small group studies, rezlife youth groups, baptism class, building better moms, Thursday live, men’s and women’s studies, care night, and so much more. Last Sunday afternoon we welcomed 27 adults and 16 children to membership at Resurrection West. We look forward to growing together with you on this journey we call knowing, loving, and serving God. We will invite new members to stand and be welcomed in each service this Sunday.
Welcome new members: Cortney & Van Alexander, Christopher & Vanessa Calcara, Arden and Nash, Jakob & Amy Knapitsch, Asher, Eli, and Abby, Ben & Erin Krehbiel, Chase, Taylor, and Pierce, Craig & Phyllis Laurion, Brent & Jana Merfen, James, Adam, and Cora, Alan Morgan, Trey & Michelle Pfister, Jason & Danielle Pfeister, Logan and Kate, Chuck & Kathleen Pirie, Blaire and Libby, Bob & Debbie Ramsdell, W.R. & Yvonne Robbins, Matthew & Nicole Schoonover and Oliver, Bill & Katherine Tisdale

We have a Matthew’s Ministry Family Night Out – Friday, Feb. 13. Parents of children with special needs can have an evening out while volunteers and staff care for their special needs family member and siblings. This will be an evening of fun crafts, games and friendship-building! A light meal is served, and parents may drop off their children at 5:30 pm or later and return to sign them out by 8 pm.

We will present the latest plans for our building expansion, share in discussion and vote to move forward. Your presence is important! Registration for childcare will be open next week.
New Alpha Prayer Course Coming in March! Looking for a fresh perspective on prayer and how to do it? This six-week journey through the Lord’s Prayer covers topics such as intercession, dealing with disappointment, learning to listen and spiritual warfare. Sessions begin with a meal, followed by a short talk and time to discuss what has been taught. Discover how the prayer that Jesus taught can enable us to have a richer prayer life. This course begins Monday, March 30, from6:30-8:30 pm. Childcare is available with registration. For more information and to register, visit rezwest.org/alphaprayeror contact Dave.Robertson@cor.org.
Finally, many in our congregation are facing challenges right now, whether they are illness, brokenness in the family, or loss of a loved one. I was introduced to a visitor this past Tuesday evening here for our new grief group, as a part of our care night on Tuesdays. They were so appreciative we were offering this and grateful to be invited by a friend to come. This is just one example of how our Congregational Care Ministers (CCM’s), led by pastor Chris, have been coming beside and serving in great ways since the first of the year. They have been praying over the prayer cards, writing notes of encouragement, launching the Tuesday care night, visiting people in the hospital, and serving as stretcher-bearers at funerals. We know that the worst thing is never the last thing, but it reminds me how important it is to be Christ’s presence for one another. May we continue to lean into the strength of Jesus and share in the hope He offers!
Looking forward to worshipping with you on Sunday,
Pastor Jason
