Pentecost

Dear Friends in Christ,

 

It is not yet Pentecost...but it's coming on June 12th!  This Sunday we celebrate the Seventh Sunday of Easter...an "in-between time" following the Ascension celebrated yesterday (June 2nd, 40 days after Easter) and the coming of the Holy Spirit to establish the Church ten days later.

 

More about all that this coming Sunday!

 

On June 12th at the 11:00 Service, we will receive into full membership by Affirmation of their Baptism seven young adults who have completed their three years of confirmation studies.

 

Come to worship on Pentecost and wear something red!

 

Wondering when Easter and Pentecost are next year?  Check out our new date calculator on our Resources page!

Here is an opportunity to participate in the life of Resurrection Lutheran Church.

We are looking for an individual to serve as the church's treasurer.  After a period of outstanding service in this position, our current treasurer, Dave Irving has decided to step down.

 

The duties and qualifications for the position are as follows and Dave will work with the new treasurer during the transition.

Attending council meetings and provides a monthly budget status report based on monthly expenditures and monthly offerings. The treasurer works with the financial secretary to keep the church books up to date, signs checks for payroll and other expenditures, and is a member of the financial team. This team works with Council to formulate the annual budget and monitors and recommends courses of action for various expenditures throughout the year.

 

If you are interested in being part of the church's administrative organization, please contact the Pastors, Norm Sahley, Council President, or Dave Irving, treasurer.

 

2011-2012 Witness and Service Forms

 

luthersealOn or before Pentecost (June 12th 2011) we ask all parishioners to complete a Witness and Service form indicating how you feel called to bear witness and service in the coming year (July 2011 through June 2012).

 

 The forms are published in the June Newsletter, and will be available in the Narthex for pick-up. They'll also be included in the bulletin on June 5th. You can download your own at home, fill it out, and bring it to church to put in the offering plate any Sunday.
 

NEW THIS YEAR! You can fill out your response on-line if you like, and then see general results about how many folks have signed up for what ministries. Give it a try!

"Here is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by love, when a man applies himself with joy and love to the works of that freest servitude in which he serves others voluntarily and for nought, himself abundantly satisfied in the fullness and riches of his own faith."
