Family Promise Hosting
June 11-18, 2017

Resurrection is hosting three families beginning June 11th: M om #1 has a 17-year-old daughter; mom #2 has two boys, 8 and 10 years old; and mom #3 has a 5-year-old boy and a 10-month-old baby.  One mother is a vegetarian and one of the boys is lactose-intolerant, so please keep that in mind if you are preparing a dinner.  If you have any questions, please call me.

We are still in need of a volunteer to prepare dinner on Saturday, June 17th.  In addition, overnight hosts are needed for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.  If you can help, contact  Don Parrish @ 706-348-2240.

Thank you to all the faithful Family Promise volunteers.

This Week's Anthem:

Surely the Presence/Open Our Eyes
Solo by Larry Holbrook
Arr. by Eleanor LaForge

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
I can see His mighty power and His grace.
I can feel the brush of angel wings,
I see glory on each face.
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

Open our eyes, Lord
We want to see Jesus;
to reach out and touch Him
and say that we love Him.
Open our ears, Lord,
and help us to listen;
Open our eyes, Lord, 
we want to see Jesus.

Vs. 1
In the midst of His children
The Lord said He would be.
It doesn't take very many,
it can be just two or three.
And I feel that same sweet spirit
that I've felt ofttimes before
Surely I can say that I've been with the Lord.

Vs. 2
There's a holy hush around us
As God's glory fills this place.
I've touched the hem of His garment;
I can almost see His face.
And my heart is overflowing
with the fullness of His joy.
I know with no doubt that I've been with the Lord.

Christian Formation
If the Resurrection did happen, there must be some difference not only in our lives, but also for the world. What is the hope when faced with  death, decay, and brokenness? How can one survive the destructive powers of this world?  The answer to this question involves a journey into the tomb and an emergence out of it.  Join us in our Christian formation time at 9:30 on Sunday mornings as we continue this eight-week focus on the Practices of Resurrected Life.
Don't forget your Traveling Butterfly!

Be sure to take a Resurrection butterfly with you as you go on your travels this summer.  Send us pictures so that we can live vicariously through you!
