Resurrection West,
Last Sunday evening we had almost 150 join us for our first summer movie night. It was a ton of fun and laughter as we shared hot dogs and popcorn together. Thanks to the volunteers who stepped up to serve at the event!
Over the last few days I have been in Wichita at the Great Plains Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. Its been a great time connecting with new and old friends as we conduct the business of our conference.
This Sunday I look forward to continuing the take me out to the ballgame series, with a sermon entitled – there is no “I” in team. The scriptural text I will be focusing on is 1 Corinthians 12:20-25 which has much to teach on the idea of teamwork in the kingdom of God. I will be preaching at the Leawood campus and you will receive the sermon on screen at West. Pastor Chris will be leading worship and will also be welcoming our new Director of Children’s Ministries - Christie Walker at each service.
Saturday join us in serving our community at Faithwork. Everything begins at 9am and all ages are welcome to come together and serve. Pastor Chris leads our Faithwork and we will be finished by lunch. If you have any questions, email Pastor Chris at chris.holliday@cor.org - otherwise just show up ready to serve at 9am – no registration necessary.
We have many activities coming up so don't take a break from exercising your faith this summer.

New Summer Study for Women – The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown, July 9, 16, 23, 30, 9:30-11 am. Each day we face a barrage of images and messages from society and the media telling us who, what and how we should be. So most of us perform, please and perfect, all the while thinking, “What if I can’t keep all of these balls in the air? When can I stop proving myself?” Dr. Brown shares ten guideposts on the power of wholehearted living—a way of engaging with the world from a place of worthiness. This study is geared for those who may need to miss a class. Childcare is available for age 6 weeks – 5th grade. Register at rezwest.org/summerwomensstudy.
Christian History Class offered July 12 and 19. This class will introduce participants to the history of the Christian church. Led by Dr. Jim Brandt, Professor of Historical Theology at Saint Paul School of Theology, the class will explore the larger periods of church history: the Early Church, the Medieval Church, the Church of the Reformations, the Early Modern Church and the Church in the 19th and 20th Centuries. We will get a sense of this larger flow of the tradition and then look more closely at some developments in the Reformation and the Church in the U.S. Cost of the class is $25 per person. Scholarships are available. Contact David.Robertson@cor.org for more information and to register.
We still have an opening for a small group to sponsor a Ridgeview Elementary Community Dinner – July 23rd… Ridgeview Elementary Community Dinners – Since 2006, we have provided food and volunteers for these much-appreciated Thursday evening summer gatherings. We will provide and serve three Community Dinners this year, one of which still needs a sponsoring group. If you or your small group, family or friends would like to sponsor the July 23 dinner, please contact Jennifer Cutler at jencutler@gmail.com.
