Due to projected severe weather conditions, Resurrection has canceled 8:15 and 10:45 a.m. worship services and evening youth activities on Sunday, Jan. 25. The semi-annual congregation meeting has been postponed until Sunday, Feb. 1 at 9:30 a.m. In case of an emergency, contact Pastor Ryan Bailey, prryan@rlcindy.org.
Save the date for Resurrection’s Vacation Bible School program, Sunday, June 7 – Thursday, June 11! VBS is a week filled with songs, Bible stories, games, crafts, and more for kids ages 3 through elementary school. This year, we’re going on a Rainforest Falls adventure as we learn about the nature of God.
Resurrection’s Breadbox needs your donations to help refill the shelves and support Hunger, Inc., a nearby pantry serving Perry Township and Beech Grove. Donations of elbow macaroni, spaghetti, and white long-grain rice are always needed for Second Helpings.
Help provide refreshments between Sunday worship services or help with set-up or clean-up. Sign up online for the Sunday(s) you would like to help with. Clean-up is simple and does not involve the coffee clean-up – it just involves removing leftover refreshment items.
Epiphany is Tuesday, Jan. 6, and a common Epiphany tradition is to “chalk the door” and bless a living space at the start of a new year. Pick up an Epiphany home blessing kit in the church narthex on Sundays Dec. 28 and Jan. 4. Kits include a brief liturgical blessing and a piece of chalk.
Give back this season with RLC’s Christmas Sharing Wreath! Last year, RLC provided 67 clothing gifts to 35 children from 12 Douglas MacArthur Kindergarten Academy (DMKA) families. This year, select tags from the wreath in the church narthex starting Sunday, Nov. 23 and return wrapped gifts by Sunday, Dec. 14.
Help RLC care for our neighbors. When neighbors visit the church office seeking financial assistance, we offer gas and grocery gift cards through our Caring Neighbor fund. To give to this fund, simply note “Caring Neighbor” on your check or envelope, or select it from the online giving drop-down menu.
Donate red poinsettias, $10/each, to adorn Resurrection’s sanctuary and narthex this Christmas. Poinsettias can be ordered in memory or in honor of someone. Order in the church narthex or online by Tuesday, Nov. 18.
Resurrection Lutheran Church exists to be a place to worship, a place to grow, a place to serve, and in all that, a place to belong. That connection is worth investing in now more than ever, and your support makes a difference. Complete your pledge at rlcindy.org/campaign. If you have not yet received your pledge packet by mail, please contact the church office.
Douglas MacArthur Kindergarten Academy extends its gratitude to the Indiana Kentucky ELCA Synod Women’s Organization for a generous $100 donation. The funds were requested by Resurrection member, Barb Schlicher, and were used to purchase 60 headphones and assorted school wear for students.
