Hi Resurrection Blue Springs!
I hope you are enjoying the spring weather! We’ve had some much needed rain and the mild temperatures have been wonderful. As a staff we’ve been doing our best to keep up with things as Pastor Penny and Bill are on vacation this week. Let’s remember to keep them in prayer as they travel back home and join us in worship this Sunday.
This weekend we will continue to have a sign up for Building Better Moms. This is a once or twice a month opportunity beginning this fall for moms to come together for fellowship, support and learning. It's for any mom with new-born through high school age kids. We've got a great team heading this venture and they are very excited to start our 2nd year. They've been working on a speaker schedule with information especially pertinent to the challenges of mothers and infusing more fellowship time into this fall's schedule. Look for the BBM table this Sunday to get more information and sign up.
Today is Faithwork Day. We're working with our Downtown campus to host a Fun Day for the students at our partner school, Wendell Phillips Elementary. We have all kinds of fun activities planned for the kids and could use extra hands to lead them. If you can't make it today, there's another serving option tomorrow with the Hillcrest Transitional Housing 5k Walk/Run. This walk raises money to provide transitional housing and education to give the homeless of our city a hand up. There's more information below.
Rezlife will gather back this Sunday (May 17) for their year end party.
For more detail about what's coming at Rez Blue Springs, take a look below:
