Resurrection West,
It's been said the most difficult place to live out our faith is in our own homes. Our family sees all our misgivings and mistakes. Nowhere are our faults and failings more evident than in the lives of those closest to us. For the next two Sundays I will be sharing testimonies of faith from some of our West families, and practical ways to live out our faith with those closest to us in a series called Generations. I hope you’ll invite a friend, or family member to join you in worship at 9am, 10:45am, or 5pm this Sunday. Click here to see and share the promotional video for this series from our Resurrection West facebook page.

All In Men’s Retreat – “All in (ol әn) adjective: wagering one’s entire stake. “ Kirby is all in. Folmsbee is all in. Gant is all in. Are you all in? Each spring the men of The Church of the Resurrection gather for a time of spiritual encouragement, friendship, worship and renewal. This year’s retreat is about being “All In.” Together we will explore what a deeply committed Christian life means and how we can grow towards that purpose and goal. Speakers include Jeff Kirby (Leawood Pastor of Discipleship and Men’s Ministry), Chris Folmsbee (Leawood Director of Adult Discipleship) and Jason Gant, our own campus pastor, along with special guest, Ron Smith. The Retreat is Friday, March 6, 6:30-9 pm (dinner included), and Saturday, March 7, 8:30 am – noon (breakfast included), at the Leawood Campus Student Center. Suggested donation of $30 will be accepted via cash, check or charge at the door. Register at cor.org/men.
Spring Break Family Campout & FaithWork Day – March 20-21 Join your friends at Resurrection West for an overnight campout on the church grounds, or just come for Friday evening’s movie in the Sanctuary, The Lorax, and s’mores around the campfire. The overnight campout will be followed by the March FaithWork event on Saturday morning, March 21, with many family-friendly projects on the church grounds and prayer trail. All activities will be moved indoors if necessary due to weather. Sign-ups will be next week.
New Alpha Prayer Course Coming in March – Looking for a fresh perspective on prayer and how to do it? Journey with us through the Lord’s Prayer in this 6-week course. Sessions begin with a meal, followed by a short talk and time to discuss what has been taught. Alpha Prayer begins Monday, March 30, 6:30 pm. Childcare is available with registration. For more information and to register, visit rezwest.org/alphaprayer or contact David.Robertson@cor.org.
Easter is quickly approaching and we will celebrate the Risen Christ through a colorful abundance of flowers in our Sanctuary at Easter worship services. If you are interested in making a donation toward flowers in memory or honor of a loved one, green donation envelopes are available on the front entry table. Please complete the information and return the envelope to the reception desk by Sunday, February 29.
