Do you lack the confidence to have a discussion about sexuality because you lack a biblical understanding on the subject? Do you think you know what the Bible teaches about sexuality?

This Sunday the 30th, Father Scott will lead a presentation and discussion about what the Bible really says about sexuality. Please join us for an adult conversation about a topic that is so important to the church today.

Resurrection began hosting Family Promise last Sunday. The program is running very smoothly thanks to the wonderful volunteer support of so many people at Resurrection. One family is a single father with three children, and the second family is a single mother with four children. In the picture below, the program coordinators get ready to receive our guests.

Please contact Cathy Parrish cdparrish@windstream.net to volunteer to help.

Teens From Jerusalem Arrive Monday

In late May, the Boy Scouts of America National Council approved a resolution to remove the restriction denying membership to youth on the basis of sexual orientation alone. As a result, many churches are deciding to end their support of scouting and asking scout troop to leave. 

Since that decision, Atlanta area television and radio stations have been reporting about scout troops being displaced by various churches. After watching this happen, I believe that seeing long-term Scout troops losing their home base over the issue of gay members is sad and troubling, especially since we know scouting to have so much to offer young people in the way of positive character formation.

The Resurrection traveling butterfly has spread her wings this week to places far from Sautee. Above, John & Rene McClatchey enjoy a relaxing evening with family in Sweden. Below, Larry Roland and Pat Lydell treat the butterfly to an enormous lobster feast in Maine.

 

 

"Being Dead is No Excuse" is sure to have Southern hostesses nodding their perfectly coiffed heads in unison." "USA TODAY

 

Folks in the Delta have a strong sense of community, and being dead is no impediment to belonging to it. Down South, they don't forget you when you've up and died, in fact they visit you more often. But there are quintessencyial rules and rituals for kicking the bucket tastefully. Having a flawless funeral is one of them. 

 

In this deliciously entertaining slice of Southern life [and death}, inveterate hostess Gayden Metcalfe explains everything you need to know to host an authentic Southern funeral. Can you be properly buried without tomato aspic? Who prepares tastier funeral fare, the Episcopal ladies or the Methodist ladies? And what does one do when a family gets three sheets to the wind and eats the entire feast the night before a funeral?

 

Each chapter includes a delicious, tried and true Southern recipe, critical if you plan to die tastefully any time soon. Pickled Shrimp, Aunt Hebe's Coconut Cake, and the ubiquitous Bing Cherry Salad with Coca-Cola and among the many dishes guaranteed to make the next funeral the most satisfying one yet. Even if you never get south of Rochester, this book will charm, it will entertain, and it will give you all the ingredients required for the perfect Southern send off.

 

I loved reading this book. The funniest part is I have known some women like this in my life. I must state having been raised Methodist; I must admit that Episcopalians have the best funeral food. This is a good, fun read.
