Well before Christmas 2016, someone well known and loved here at Resurrection wanted to do something special for Strength for the Journey. She took it upon herself to send out her own handmade costumes so these impoverished children and families in the Dominican Republic could re-enact the nativity. Sending them out in plenty of time, it was still a nail-biting, down-to-the-wire experience waiting to hear if/when they received these boxes. Fortunately, they DID receive them by December 19th. Not too late for Lindsay Kaufman, a retired school teacher moved from Ohio to the Dominican Republic, to take on the challenge of preparing for this task! Strength for the Journey is an organization of dedicated volunteers; dedicated to helping kids that find themselves in absolute poverty with little likelihood of overcoming their situation.

As you can see, we’ve made a lot of changes to make things more streamlined for ease of use and hopefully, you’ll agree, more appealing to the eye! Everything you need will be right at your fingertips. Calendar of events, descriptions of what we offer, visual and audio sermons, as well as bringing back our “Resurrection Reflection” in a more modern format! We hope you will check back on a regular basis to see what we have going on. More importantly, we hope to see you for a service or two soon!

“WHAT SHALL OUR LEGACY BE TO THEM?”

    

Text – MATTHEW 18:1—6 and GENESIS 2:18-25

GRACE BE UNTO YOU AND PEACE FROM GOD THE FATHER AND FROM OUR CRUCIFIED AND RISEN LORD AND SAVIOUR – JESUS THE CHRIST.

During the months leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion, He focused on preparing His disciples and all His other followers for our lives in the years between Jesus’ Resurrection and Judgment Day.  They were the most wondrous words of fulfilled   hope and vision, but they were also words of warning.  Jesus spoke of times when the secular

GRACE BE UNTO YOU AND PEACE FROM GOD THE FATHER AND FROM OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR -- JESUS THE RISEN AND EVER-LIVING CHRIST.

Guenther Tharp went on his first plane ride with his pastor and a nuclear scientist. Suddenly the plane began making some very unusual noises.  A few moments later, the pilot – with a parachute pack on his back – came out of the cockpit.  “I’m sorry.  The plane has developed serious problems which I can’t correct.  I’ve tried everything.  Nothing works.  The problem is there are four of us and only three parachutes.  Now, I have seven children who are totally dependent upon me so my life must be spared.”  And with that he leaped
