Resurrection West,Spring break is upon us and the Gant family is out camping, fishing, and hiking this week! Nature always rejuvenates me and connects me closer to God? What is it for you? Music? Community? Solitude? Pastor Adam spoke of the importance of Sabbath, modeled by our creator in last Sunday’s message. He will continue the ‘In The Garden’ series this Sunday with a message about the forbidden fruit plus more powerful music by our worship team! You won’t want to miss it! All KiDSCOR Sunday School programs resume for each service with 6 weeks through 5th grade available at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 5pm - 6th-8th grade Rezlife Sunday School at 9:30am & 11am.
Rezlife youth groups resume on Wednesday night March 22nd. Middle School Youth Group 6-7:30pm, and High School Youth Group 7-8:30pm. More info about our ministry to teens can be found at cor.org/west/students. You will also see below the summer mission trips have opened up for teens to serve in KC and Colorado!
It was a joy last Sunday to welcome Yolanda Byers, Guest Connections & Communications Director, upfront to help lead us in worship. Yolanda is not only a full-time staffer at RezWest, but also a declared candidate for ordained ministry. In the United Methodist Church declared candidates work through prayerful interviews, examination, and preparation for their journey toward pastoral leadership. To be a declared candidate is to hear a calling from God to serve in this way. You may have felt this nudge. If so, I’d love to meet and pray with you about it. Feel free to connect with my assistant Debbie Dietz at debbie.dietz@cor.org to schedule a time together. God may be calling you and we want to support you in that call!
Below are some upcoming opportunities to know, love, and serve God.
