Coffee With the Pastors
Do you consider Resurrection your church home and want to take the next step in your faith commitment? If so, join us April 22, 1:30 pm at 1522 McGee.

Registration is required and childcare is available. Please register online at cor.org/downtown/getconnected or email Shannon.Endicott@cor.org with questions!
40s and Up Study with Kelly Sisney
On Wednesday, April 25, at 6:30pm, join others as we discuss the book by Andy Stanley called “How Good is Good Enough?” Come discuss why Jesus taught that goodness is not even a requirement to enter heaven - and why Christianity is beyond fair. Explore what’s wrong with the most popular theory about heaven—and what it really takes to get there. The first 30 people to register will receive the booklet! (However, no book is needed for the class.) Register online at cor.org/downtown/getconnected. For questions, contact Kelly.Sisney@cor.org.

RezMoms April 28
Please join us for a meeting focused on caring for ourselves as mothers! So often, we put self-care on the back burner and focus only on those around us! It is important for us to consider both our physical and mental health. So, we will gather to do a relaxing yoga session, share treats and discuss ways we can be better in treating ourselves with kindness! Hope you can join us! Friends are always welcome! We will meet in the coffee shop from 9-11am. Questions? Please contact Kristen Sayers at klynsayers@gmail.com. Reach out to Sarah.Brischle@cor.org to let her know if you will need childcare!
RezDads April 28
Meet at 1522 McGee at 9 am, drop off your kiddos, and head to Messenger Coffee for a time of fellowship and discussion with other RezDads. Email Sarah.Brischle@cor.org to let her know if you'll be dropping off your little ones, or reach out to Clay.Smith10@gmail.com with questions!

Spread the Word Through Cookies!
On each First Friday during the summer, we hand out hundreds of cookies to folks enjoying the Crossroads Art District. We are doubling our cookie order for Friday, May 4, as we want to make sure we share the news of our Grand Opening of 1601 Grand! Would you be willing to show up at 1522 McGee at 6:30 pm, grab a bag of cookies and head out to simply give cookies away?...No explanation or sales pitch needed. The cookies will have our Grand Opening info on the bag! If you are able to be a “cookie greeter” please let Kelly.Sisney@cor.org know and she will send you a reminder as we get closer to May 4! (Also, we will be doing this again on June 1, the day before our opening!)
