St. Patrick's Day Dinner raises $765

Corned beef for all!


A BIG thank you to Diane Gerlach and the Hospitality Committee for a wonderful evening of food and fellowship last Saturday celebrating St. Patrick. The feast raised $765 in green for Resurrection projects!


Please contact Diane Gerlach if you can host this event next year.

Necessity Pantry serves many

Over 1,200 persons served this month



The Necessity Pantry at St. Michael's in Independence continues to serve a vital role in our community. Not a "food pantry" but a "necessity pantry", this outreach program provides needed items to clients that are not provided by other services. Items include shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, disposable razors, shaving cream, bath soap, lotion, deodorant, laundry detergent, toilet paper and feminine hygiene and incontinence products. Cash donations are also gratefully accepted.


This month the Necessity Pantry has served 1,216 persons from 340 households.


In support of this effort, Resurrection members so far this year have donated many volunteer hours to the pantry, contributed $549 in cash and a large number of in-kind items.


Thank you all for your continuing generosity to this ministry!

Easter Flowers

Please donate


In the penitential tradition of Lent, the altar and other church appointments are covered or muted in anticipation of the joyous celebration of Easter. 

 

You are invited to contribute now for flowers to grace our worship space during the upcoming Easter season. This is a wonderful opportunity to remember loved ones, special events or the glory of God!


There are envelopes in the pews for your contribution. Please include your name if giving cash or note Easter flowers in the memo line of your check.   Thank you!
