We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service. 
 
We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and
reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs,   
hurts, joys, and interests."

Rector's Discretionary Fund

"The appropriate and traditional use of clergy discretionary funds is to address needs among the congregation and community members.  Payments of food, rent, utilities, medical bills and the like for persons in need are typical uses of these funds."

Our Rector's Discretionary Fund is depleted and in need of replenishment.  Please consider making a donation to this account by noting "Rector's Discretionary Fund" on your check.

Anti-Racism Training 
September 24, 2016 9:00-4:00


The Anti-Racism Training model of the Episcopal Church is designed to make us all more aware of how society's racist past still haunts us today. Through self-examination and sharing our stories, we come to learn more about how our behavior affects others, and how our society, institutions and churches affect how we think and feel about others. After anti-racism training, you will never watch the news the same again!

More information and registration

Resurrection is hosting the next training for the Northeast Convocation on Saturday, September 24, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.  Dr. Catherine Meeks will facilitate the training.  We will providing a sub sandwich lunch for the group, so we would appreciate donations of chips, salad and desserts. We will have a number of attendees closer to time of the event.  Please contact Denise Dorsey if you have any questions.

Since 1991, General Convention has committed the Episcopal Church to address racism within our church, society and the world. We all recognize when obvious racism, discrimination or oppression occurs, but many of us are completely unaware of the subtle racism that occurs everyday all around us and how we are involved in perpetuating it. To better educate ourselves about the underlying racism in our daily lives and institutions, all lay and ordained leaders in the Episcopal Church are required to attend anti-racism training. Each and every member of the church can also be involved in the effort to end the institutional racism that exists in the church. Together we can make our church a welcoming place, devoid of racism and any form of prejudice and discrimination.

Working together for justice. 
Resurrection To Host Family Promise
October 23-30 & January 15-22
 
Family Promise now has two families in the program. The hosting churches are working hard to schedule the families into their busy church calendars.  Some of the host churches have taken two weeks in a row in order to help fill the gaps in the hosting schedule. At times there is a need for volunteer to provide a meal or spend the night.  If you would like to help, I will have a sign-up sheet in the Narthex for volunteers.

Resurrection Church will be hosting the families October 23-30 this year and January 15-22, 2017.  Faith Lutheran Church congregation has graciously agreed to allow us to use their fellowship hall to host the families.  Our third host week will be at our church next summer.  Call me if you have any questions and thank you volunteering.
