A group from the Urban Mission Council will gather on three evenings over the summer to discuss the book When Helping Hurts: Alleviating Poverty Without Hurting the Poor. . .and Ourselves, by Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert.  Dan Claire highly recommended this book to our team, and we are inviting the Rez church community to join  the discussion.  We will meet Tuesday evenings July 13th, Aug 3rd & Aug 24th from 7-9pm at Kristi Kiger’s house.  Dinner will be provided.  If you want to join in, please email kristi.kiger[AT] gmail <DOT> com so we can know how many to cook for and give you directions.

The Rev. Dr. Jim Belcher, Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach, California, and author of Deep Church, will be preaching at Resurrection on Sunday, July 11, during the 5 pm service. Deep Church is the story of a church in California quite similar to the Church of the Resurrection. Deep Church also offers a “third way beyond emerging and traditional” churches. With endorsements from Tim Keller, Mark Driscoll, Rob Bell, and many others, Deep Church has gained a lot of attention since its publication last year. You can read the introduction here, or purchase a copy through our online bookstore here.

Please stay for a Congregational Meeting immediately following worship THIS Sunday, May 23rd.  Everyone is welcome. You will hear an international update, some news from our bishop, a financial update, and our members will vote on changes to the by-laws. Child care will be provided and we will share a potluck meal.
