Resurrection West,
Good morning! May we be found thankful today and every day as we seek to live as disciples of Christ. It was quite a fun time at the Gant household last night. My youngest daughter, Kaia, invited a friend for a sleepover. There was pizza, ice cream, movies, and toenail painting before they finally fell into a deep and joy-filled sleep. Everything about the sleepover was pretty normal kid stuff, yet everything had such a greater sense of excitement when shared with a friend. This experience reminded me of how grateful I am for our church family. My hope is that each of us find a place of community here at RezWest so that every study, small group, worship service, and serve day would be that much more exciting because we shared it together!
You can start tomorrow morning at our FaithWork serve day from 9am-11:30am - All ages are welcome. Meet at RezWest for prayer, breakfast snacks and instructions. Then, participate in a variety of serving opportunities including preparing used LEGOs for children in need via The Giving Brick, making special tote bags for those in need and creating Valentines for nursing home residents and first responders. Adults, students and children of all ages are welcome. No sign-up required—just come and serve. For more information, contact Chris.Holliday@cor.org.
