Big Sonia Movie Event TONIGHT
Standing tall at 4’8″, Sonia is one of the last remaining Holocaust survivors in Kansas City and one of the only survivors here who speaks publicly about her wartime experience. Sonia’s teenage years were a blur of concentration camps and death marches. On liberation day, she was accidentally shot through the chest, yet again miraculously survived - her story must never be forgotten. Join us tonight at 1522 McGee at 6:30 pm to watch Big Sonia. Popcorn and movie snacks provided!

Ash Wednesday Worship
Join us Feb. 14, 7 pm at 1522 McGee for a special Ash Wednesday service of music, prayers, an inspiring message and the opportunity for personal reflection and confession.

Singles & Dating
66% of Resurrection Downtown is made up of singles, yet look around and it might seem like you are surrounded by couples and families. Join us Friday, Feb. 16, 6:15 pm at 1522 McGee for an honest conversation, steering away from fixed answers or one right way to find wholeness and happiness. Pastor Anne and Licensed Counselor, Justin Bastin, will lead a time of laughter and discussion around the best and hardest parts of being single, with the understanding that singleness is not a problem to be solved. Come for delicious food, a chance to connect, and an acknowledgement that the church cares about you. Please register at cor.org/events. Email Sarah.Brischle@cor.orgfor childcare. Reach out to Pastor Anne.Williams@cor.orgwith questions.

RezDT “Gate Keepers” Parking Lot Volunteer Team!
As we continue to grow, we want to make it easy for new visitors to navigate one of the biggest obstacles when attending RezDT…PARKING. We are creating our own RezDT “GateKeepers” Volunteer Team!

We hope to launch this team starting in February. If you are willing to serve, take a moment and fill out this form. For more information, contact Kenny.DeCoursey@cor.org
