Capital Campaign Begins!
Interview Process
The next step in following the vision God is laying before us is now under way. Our plan calls for a new parish hall, refurbished kitchen, new classrooms, new sound system, repaving parking lot, and retiring our debt.
In order to more successfully equip ourselves to respond to God's call, we are planning to conduct a capital campaign in the Fall of this year. We have engaged Franklin 'Zip' Long, a consulting pastor with Horizons Stewardship Company, to conduct a study. As a part of this study, we are asking 25 families as a representative group of the members to meet with Reverend Long for personal, confidential 30-minute interviews on April 21st and 22nd.
If you are selected and called by Sonya Chesser to be part of the interview process, we hope you will make every effort to participate. What a privilege to be part of such an exciting time in our life together. Thank you all in advance for being members of this growing family.

Beth Moore Bible Study
Saturday, April 18, 9:30-11:30 a.m.
All women of the church (and their friends) are invited to a Beth Moore Bible Study entitled "He Is." There is no cost to participate, but please RSVP to Denise Dorsey (706-969-0514 or ddorsey@habershamschools.com) so that she can plan for brunch and distribute discussion notes.
"He Is" is a video collection of four one-hour messages by Beth Moore. Based on Hebrews 11:6, "Without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that HE IS and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."

Around the Campfire Ring -
with "The 689"
Cub Scouts kicking off second big fund-raiser
Every spring, Pack 689 begins the sale of CAMP CARDS - which helps our Cubs raise money for summer camp. These discount cards cost only $10, but they provide many opportunities for you to save money at many popular local or nearby establishments - like McDonalds, Bass Pro Shops, Yonah Burger, Zaxby's, Subway, La Cabana, Domino's, Donut Palace, and Atlanta Braves tickets! The discounts are valid for an entire year, and they are guaranteed to save you lots of money. Buy a handful to share with your friends and families. All of the sale proceeds stay with our local Pack. CAMP CARDS will be on sale until May 12, so don't miss out. Watch for Cub Scouts conveniently selling tickets after the 10:30 service at church, or place an order through Bill Owen or the church office.
Thanks for your support of Scouting at Resurrection.

Children's Chapel Volunteers Needed
We are blessed with amazing children and youth at Resurrection. We want to "bridge the gap" between our children and older members. Please consider being a volunteer children's chapel teacher. We would love to have the children learn about and meet all the amazing parishioners. You can sign up at: Children's Chapel Sign-up or by letting Mallory Nonnemaker know the Sunday you would like to teach or bring snacks.
|
Please join us on Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m. for Resurrection "Shine Time." We will continue to follow the Weaving God's Promises Year One curriculum, but are calling this program "Shine Time" based on Matthew 5:16 - "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven." Weaving God's Promises helps us learn how we can let our lights shine! This year, Weaving God's Promises focuses on Weaving our Faith.
We will no longer meet on Wednesday evenings. Fr. Scott will be leading a class for adults at the same time, so everyone can learn! |
|
Social Hour Sign-ups
We are still in need of hosts for our Social Hour after the 10:30 service each week, especially later in the year. THIS SNACK SHOULD BE VERY SIMPLE - IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A MEAL.
If you would be willing to host the Social Hour one Sunday, please sign up on the sheet in the narthex or contact Denise Dorsey at dorsey@habershamschools.com, 706-969-0514, or just tell her at church. The dates available are listed on the Social Hour Sign-up Sheet below. If enough people participate, no one should have to do it more than two or three times a year. Please prayerfully consider being a part of this parish life ministry.

Who Cares? We All Do
 The Caring Ministries committee needs volunteers to sign up to provide meals for parish members who are shut in, those returning from a hospital stay, or those suffering from the loss of a loved one. Please contact Madeline Braswell at 770-617-2455 or brasmame@gmail.com to volunteer. The more volunteers, the less burden on each. |
