"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar. We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.
We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs, hurts, joys, and interests."

Greetings!
Welcome to the latest edition of our eNewsletter.
Wherever you are on your faith journey, may you discover God's spirit here at Resurrection. May you experience God's love and feel God's blessing as you participate in the life of the parish.
If you or someone you know is in need of pastoral care, please contact the parish office, a member of the clergy, or a member of the vestry. Please do not hesitate to let us know of any needs that arise.

Betsy Brien is now in hospice care.
Kenny Brevard is at home waiting on a heart transplant.
Pray for all of our sisters and brothers who are dealing with the challenging consequences of this pandemic.

Many, many thanks to everyone who supported our family with visits, prayers, cards, and other expressions of love and concern during Dad's eight months in hospice care and at the time of his death. And words cannot adequately express my gratitude for everyone who assisted with or attended his memorial service and the reception afterwards. I know it was a very busy Sunday that day with much going on, and some of you were at the church literally all day long. I am so grateful to all of you and am blessed to be a part of such a caring parish.

We are grateful for the beautiful flower arrangements at the altar each Sunday. These arrangements are coordinated by the Parish Flower Guild and funded by donations in memorial, honor, or thanksgiving for a life event or friends and relatives of Resurrection. The cost for both flower arrangements is $75. Sunday flowers may be shared. Your gift of flowers will be acknowledged in the Sunday service bulletin.
