Here’s a recap of what all happened at Resurrection this past weekend:
Rev. Anne Williams delivered an empowering sermon: Facing the Unexpected with Sarah.
During worship, Pastor Adam gave a quick video message standing in the John Wesley room at Lincoln College - Oxford University where Methodism got its beginning.
FaithWork: Overall 174 people served at Saturday's Faithwork. Activities ranged from bingo with residents at a local nursing home to playing board games with children at the Salvation Army Children’s Shelter. One of the highlights included 164 meals being served at Central UMC in KCK.
RezDowntown Faithwork: RezDowntown had their own Faithwork event which drew 50 people to help serve the downtown community. Associate Minister Todd Maberry gave an update on the serving opportunity.
"RezDowntown had a great FaithWork this past Saturday. Half of the group went to Crossroads Academy, a new downtown charter school, to paint and move furniture in preparation for the upcoming school year. The other group divided into teams that removed trash and weeds from 28 city blocks surrounding the downtown campus. The teams also used street chalk to leave encouraging messages. Thanks to everyone who was able to come out!"

There were games in the park lot, craft tables in the entry, an amazing group of guys grilling hamburgers & hotdogs and countless volunteers helping with everything. All of this was capped off with a wonderful concert by musical artists Chasing Grace.
Upcoming Events:
Tuesday: Embracing Honesty, Stuff Christians Think but Don't Say. Time: 6:30 pm. Location: Leawood Campus Student Center.
Do you ever find yourself in conversations that sound more like Christian clichés than what you’re really thinking? Like so many others, Christians seem to keep their most frank thoughts to themselves—worried about what others might think if they were brutally honest. But what might happen if we embraced the honesty of the thoughts that come across our minds every day? Perhaps we’d just get the odd look. But we might possibly find ourselves in a world fresh with accountability and unparalleled growth.
Be a part of this conversation as Group Life Director, Chris Folmsbee leads this discussion to help us engage in an authentic Christian life.
Wednesday: Caregiver Support Group. Time: 2 pm. Location:East Building Room 221.
