This is American Education Week with the theme of "Reach. Educate. Inspire." We are so blessed to partner with the teachers, administrators and support staff at several schools in our community.

Would you like to get involved in helping students find hope for their future? Volunteer for the Resurrection Bookmobile, tutor students, serve with Backpacks for Hunger, help with hospitality events and more – check out the opportunities through our Partner Schools Ministry. And say thank you to a teacher this week!

Coming Up at Resurrection

This weekend in worship, author Jim Wallis shares a message. The author, teacher, preacher and justice advocate joins us to share how Jesus' teachings apply to our current political and spiritual crises. He will sign copies of his book, Christ in Crisis, (available at The Well Bookstore) after worship services.

Thankful Day of Prayer

Join us in prayer any time from 6 am – 10 pm on Tuesday, Nov. 26 in the Wesley Chapel as we prepare our hearts for Thanksgiving. We will pray throughout the day for every member of our church family.
