Since the next three weeks are so busy, I thought I’d write one blog to cover several of the upcoming opportunities for Young Adults at Resurrection:
April 23 – YA Worship Experience (with College Life Ministry) – In the Wesley Chapel at 7pm.
April 29 – Loving God Learning Community begins. For more information and/or to register to sit with other young adults, go to www.cor.org/lc.
April 30 – YA BBQ – 6pm at Leawood Park (10601 Lee Blvd). Burgers and hotdogs provided. What you can bring if your name begins with: A-E – drinks (non-alcoholic), F-L – Salad, M-R – veggie or side dish, S-Z – dessert.
May 7 – Young Adult Serve Night (with College Life Ministry). Meet in the narthex of the church at 6pm to carpool to Gillis House, a residential facility that helps struggling families. If you aren’t able to meet at the church, you can meet us at Gillis, at 8150 Wornall in KC, MO.
So, do you ever struggle with really WANTING to serve in the community, but simply have a hard time getting up for Young Adult FaithWork? Or, do you work on Saturdays, so you can never make it to serve? I think we all struggle with making it to Young Adult FaithWork sometimes, so we’re adding another regular serving opportunity for Young Adults.
We are providing an opportunity to serve together the first Thursday night of every month. On Thursday, April 2, we will meet in Room 2207 (upstairs in the West Building) at 6:30pm to assemble sack lunches for the Food Bank Ministry at Central United Methodist Church.
The Young Adult Serve Night will be in addition to our regular service projects though FaithWork. In fact, we’ll be serving at Hillcrest Transitional Housing and Central UMC on April 18 at 9am.
I hope to see everyone on April 2 at 6:30pm and also on April 18 at 9am!!!
Hi everyone! Nathan, here, back in the office after a week mission trip to Galveston. The team of 17 young adults got back Saturday night after a week full of sheetrocking, roofing, electrical work, and various other construction projects. The team enjoyed an absolutely beautiful week to work and was able to get a lot of work done. You can look below to see a photo of the entire team, and you’ll also be able to see the family who’s home we worked at 3 days.
I also wanted to remind everyone that we will be having our monthly Worship Experience THIS THURSDAY NIGHT in the Wesley Chapel at 7pm. It will be an awesome night with some laid-back worship, a short message, and an opportunity to meet other young adults. You should even be home in plenty of time to watch the Memphis-Missouri game.
