Hello Resurrection Blue Springs!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm going to make this short today as my husband, Bill and I are headed to the hospital to pray with our daughter and son-in-law before her c-section today and then to sit and wait with the other set of grandparents to greet our new grandson. It's so strange that this little boy has captured our hearts already and we haven't even met him yet. We'd love to have your prayers for a safe delivery for the two and a healthy baby. We'll be anxious to show you his picture and share the name, which has yet to be revealed on Sunday.
I want to ask a favor this morning before I go. We'd love to have you join our social media team. It’s easy and a great way to invite people to know Jesus! If you’re on Facebook, go to our page and ‘like’ it (if you haven’t already). Then ‘like’ (or ‘love’) ‘comment’ and/or ‘share’ our posts when they show up in your newsfeed. Also consider ‘checking in’ when you’re at church. We know that at this time of year there are always people looking for a place to worship for Easter and possibly a community to connect with beyond the holiday. Let your Facebook friends know all about your church—you just might be helping them find their church home!
Make sure to take a look below at the needs for disaster recovery help with our Oak Grove neighbors and the upcoming ways to get connected in the life of our congregation.
