Adult Formation

January’s adult class will be a study of the book lies we believe about GOD, by Wm. Paul Young, author of The Shack and Eve.  Young invites us into a dialogue to revisit our assumptions about God and encourages us to think through beliefs about God we’ve presumed to be true. Please join us as we explore the “unconditional, relentless, and everlasting love of God.”  Class meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:00 p.m. in the Yellow Room; facilitator will be Neal Mandich.

Congregational Events

We’re about to move into the new year, which means that it is time to start a new Coffee Hour sign-up sheet! In order to have a smooth start, Annie Heckel is looking for Coffee Hour volunteers for the Sundays in January (1/6, 1/13, and 1/27). If you or a church ministry of which you’re a part could help by bringing food or cleaning up on one of those days, please e-mail Annie  or catch her after church to let her know the date you want to help, and whether you can bring food, clean up, or both.

Volunteers are needed to help in the children’s and youths’ program and in the Sunday School classes.  To sign up or for more information please talk to Jenny Reesor during coffee hour or email Tina at nursery@resurrectioneugene.org.
