Weekly eNote from Pastor Jason Gant for Thursday, 19 April 2018 of The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection West in Olathe, Kansas, United States
Resurrection West,
This Sunday we continue in our new series where we will be asking…. ‘What would Jesus say to gun violence in schools and the workplace?’ Invite a friend and join us at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, or 5pm with KiDSCOR Sunday School at all services and rezlife 6th-8th grade Sunday School at both 9:30 & 11am services.
Due to the weather, we’ve been forced to cancel the first two Saturday games of Upward spring soccer season. The Upward team is working diligently to reschedule games. Look for news soon via email as to the plan for make-up games in the coming weeks. Hoping we will have great weather for our games Saturday, but if cancellation is required it will come through email.
Finally, I hope to welcome many at Coffee with the Pastors this Sunday. If you’ve been considering joining Resurrection West, then come to Coffee this Sunday afternoon! Childcare is available. Register at cor.org/west/signup . We always plan for walk-ins and all ages are welcome to attend. We will cover the history of Resurrection, United Methodism, expectations of membership, and testimony from Pastor Chris and myself.
Looking forward to worshipping with you on Sunday,
Jason
