Hi Resurrection Blue Springs!
This has been a busy week for us with all the end of school activities. We celebrated Josiah graduating high school and Michael and Olivia moving up as a sophomore and Junior for the next school year. It seems like time is moving so fast that it is hard to keep up with it all.
This is one of the many reasons I love Sunday worship. When we deliberately slow down and make time to connect with God and each other it changes us and how we view our circumstances. If you’re in town I hope you will be in worship this Sunday. One of our Servant Leaders, Kyle Ray, will be bringing an encouraging message that you don’t want to miss!
Also, the youth will be cooking pancakes and sausage for breakfast. All donations will be used for youth group special events and missions. So, come hungry for breakfast and ready to worship this Sunday.
I hope to see you this weekend!
Mike Ash

VBC is a week of fun, friendship and faith-building designed to help kids and families choose kind…just like Jesus! We are offering evening times the first two days to increase family involvement with a fun movie night, then morning times on the weekend to help with those busy schedules! The last day we will end our time during church and celebrate with a family picnic and water slide after church. Everyone is welcome!
Adult Volunteers
We have spots for people with varying interests including behind the scenes, decorating, greeting, group guides, recreation, craft, acting, music and missions. All are important!
