Thank you so much for all your support and understanding as we continue to do the work of the Lord, together. Sincerely, your Office Administrator Ashley Brown

SMALL GROUPS GROWTH– Several small groups are meeting regularly and bearing fruit in many ways.  There is potentially a need for additional groups, particularly one where parents could bring children and/or one that would be located in the northern Newport News/York County area, although groups do not necessarily need to be geographical to form. Additional small group offerings would provide spiritual growth opportunities, strengthened relationships, and the opportunity to do Gospel outreach beyond the Resurrection family. Please pray that in His timing, the Lord will raise up additional small group leaders and also consider whether this might be a calling for you.  Leaders need no special skills beyond a willing spirit. Michael Uenking will provide informal training for new leaders. When a group forms, group leaders with their members will determine where, when, and how frequently to meet. Virtual meetings are also an option. Contact Michael Uenking at 757-813-3973 or LogicX@cox.net with any questions or for other information.

Small Group Ministry Praise God! Additional groups are forming! All are encouraged  to prayerfully consider  the opportunity to join one of the following groups for fellowship, relationship building, spiritual growth, and mutual blessing. You are encouraged to also invite friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors, or others the Lord brings to mind.

So You Want to Volunteer at the School ??? There are many ways you can get involved including reading to the children, helping out with activities, spending time in the rooms with them or other ways that don’t involve being with the children directly such as picking up food orders from the store, helping with classroom organization or donations.  The children are always excited to see new faces and the teachers appreciate the help and the opportunity to meet some of the congregational members. What do I need to do to help directly with the Children ??? Click here for a simple go-by instructions about what is needed to volunteer with the children. It is an accreditation requirement that anyone directly interacting/helping out with the children be screened and meet these requirements.  It is simple and free for the volunteer. Please complete this if you would like to help out with the CDC in person and provide the information to Melanie, the School Director.  You can talk to Melanie or any School Board Member (see picture in the School Lobby) for more information about volunteering.
