Reset – some of life’s biggest lessons are born from a crisis, or in this case, a global pandemic! Consider what we are learning about relationship and connection, slowing down and letting go, care for self and others, laughter and fun. With lessons from personal experiences, biblical stories, suggestions for further reading, and a weekly “reset button” designed to help us move forward with what we value most.

Led by Michelle Funk, Women's Ministry Program Director, using the Zoom platform. Recordings and materials available for your personal or group study.

Imagine…

a place that meets you right where you’re at as a mom, a woman and a friend.

• Learning how to be better equipped as a parent through speakers and discussion.
• Growing through a supportive network of moms who “get” it — from newborns to teens.
• Serving not only your family, but also your community through outreach opportunities.

Building Better Moms (BBM) strives to build a community of moms who learn, grow and serve together. BBM members meet together in a larger group setting, but are connected with a small group of moms with whom they share a table at each BBM meeting throughout the year. The BBM calendar follows the school calendar year, beginning in September and concluding in May. The schedule is set to align as much as possible with area school and holiday schedules. BBM meetings run about two hours in length and each group meets approximately twice a month to enjoy food and fellowship, speakers and group discussion. All groups also participate in mission projects supported by The Church of the Resurrection and occasional social events outside of the meeting schedule.

Imagine… you’re here!

United Methodist Women (UMW) at Resurrection is for any woman interested in developing a creative, supportive fellowship while learning about and becoming involved in contributing to the greater needs of women next door, across town and around the world. Circles and Groups meet at various times, both day and night. Some read and discuss books written about timely issues. Others select a social justice topic to study and organize a mission project to help those affected by this issue. One group creates beautiful quilts and then gives them away to bless someone. Want to start a group of your own? We can help. All groups offer faith, hope and love in action through learning, service and education. Our local chapter of UMW has a website full of information, photos and resources.

Our group chooses books that will help us learn about another culture, religion, place, time or event. We are a group that welcomes all to experience wonderful fellowship and fun, plus occasional service projects. Meets the first Wednesday morning each month.

Read the book before coming to our discussion -- we finish in time to go out to lunch! All are welcome!

Are you an avid quilter or perhaps you have always had an interest in learning how to quilt? We welcome all skill levels---a passion for all things regarding quilts is the only requirement!

Stitch’ n Tyme meets every Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in room C020. Come visit, bring a project to work on either by hand or bring your sewing machine or come and be inspired by others who share a passion for quilting.

Come as you are and where you are in your quilting adventure.  If our activities sound like fun, come join us!  If it all seems like a bit too much, no worries, come for all or part of our activities. Many of our members come each week but just as many come when they can, the good news is you are always welcome.

Stitch’ n Tyme activities include:

• Weekly Meetings-We gather and work on projects or stop by to enjoy the inspiring show and tell, devotion and catch up on friendships, sewing projects and church happenings.
• Care Quilts- Members make quilts for our congregational care team to share with those who will feel love and comfort from our quilts. Participating in our group provides the opportunity for you to give of your talents. We have potluck lunches about four times a year where a minister or member of the church staff attend, share lunch, bless the quilts and get to know our members.
• Retreats- Our group goes to a retreat center at least once a year and spends several days and nights sewing and laughing, lots of laughing! Some retreats are “in town” at the church and others are overnight adventures. In addition, we periodically go on quilting related field trips.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday mornings!

God heals even the pain of divorce. Divorce Recovery for Women is a weekly class designed to offer a place where God’s healing can take place, no matter where you are in the process of recovery. During this class, we’ll explore issues facing Christian women during and after divorce. Through education and group discussions, we will address such topics as identity, boundaries, recognizing healthy grief, intimacy and sexuality, the effect of divorce on children and strategies for managing feelings of loneliness and isolation as we learn to depend on God for guidance and comfort.
