Church of the Resurrection Celebration
Many people in the Diocese have had a connection to the Church of the Resurrection over the years. On Saturday, May 19th, we're hosting a time for worship and fellowship to celebrate nearly 40 years of ministry at Church of the Resurrection.
The Celebrant that evening will be Fr. Charlie Keen and the Preacher will be Fr. Jerry Hall. Special worship music will be provided by the praise band from St. Paul's - Greenville.
This will be a great opportunity for folks to see friends from ages past and to look forward to a bright future at Resurrection. The evening begins with music at 6:30 p.m. and is followed by worship at 7:00 p.m. Fellowship and refreshments will be shared at the conclusion of the service. Contact Fr. Phil for details.

The class will be held in the St. James Parish Hall every Thursday evening this summer - and hopefully beyond! We'll gather at 6:30 p.m. Please feel free to bring a brown bag snack or meal, and bring your beverage of choice. This is YOUR evening to put aside responsibilities for some quality time with Jesus.
We'll begin studying the book "The Blessed Woman," by Pastor Debbie Morris (2012). This new book is a gentle look at the women in the Bible and how their experiences, strengths and graces still intertwine and enrich our lives today. To purchase the book and the accompanying study guide, go to: passages.gatewaypeople.com, or theblessedwoman.org.
Please plan to attend and bring any of your sisters, daughters, and friends. This promises to be a fun and educational "church chicks night out!"
Blessings and see you June 7th,
Mtr. Marci+
