Weekly eNote from Pastor Jason Gant for Thursday, 24 May 2018 from The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection West in Olathe, Kansas, United States

Weekly eNote from Pastor Jason Gant for Thursday, 24 May 2018 from The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection West in Olathe, Kansas, United States
Resurrection West,
I’m really excited for worship this Sunday! Chris and Lisa Holliday will team-preach a sermon entitled, What would Jesus say to the perfectly imperfect family? All kids and teens will be welcomed into worship from Kindergarten and up (nursery for Pre-K and under will be available at all four services). We will have activity books for kids and a children’s message in worship as well. Pastor Lisa Holliday serves at our Leawood campus as the pastor to children and their families. She recently gave an inspirational message at our WOW (Women of West) conference this past year. Pastor Chris serves as our care & missions pastor here at RezWest. They recently welcomed their first grandchild, so I’m sure they may have some pictures to share in Sunday’s message.
The Gant family will be sad to miss the Holliday’s message on Sunday as we embark on a road trip vacation to Florida. We will spending time visiting family and enjoying the beach. It will also be my privilege to lead a vow renewal ceremony for Scharme’s parents as as they celebrate 50 years of marriage!
Summer is here and our rezlife student ministries has many great activities planned for connection and growth of our 6th-12th graders including movie nights, cookouts, serve nights, a Royals game, water wars, and more. See it all at cor.org/west/students. Email our Youth Pastor, Rick Webb, directly to be added to the weekly rezlife eNote at rick.webb@cor.org. Follow rezlife on social media as well.

Finally, last night I had a blast spending the evening with one of our longest running small groups at RezWest. We have some 40 small groups that meet weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly growing in faith, study of scripture, and prayer and care for one another. Most of the leaders in this group helped to launch RezWest and are so excited about what God is doing and what God will do in our future. Meeting with these ‘pioneers’ reminded me how grateful I am to serve God here. Your commitment to the mission and vision are inspiring and I so appreciate your prayers for our staff and leadership moving forward. I believe God has big big plans for us in the way of changing lives, strengthening churches, and transforming the world. Each of you are an integral part of making that happen. As pastor Adam reminds us, we are God’s strategic plan! May we each rise to God’s call.
With a grateful heart,
Jason
