Note!!! Worship Service Time Change: February at Five
Beginning the first week of February, February 5, Resurrection Presbyterian Church will be changing the start time of our Sunday worship service from 5:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. We'll be talking more about the reasons behind this during our service, and in upcoming newsletters, but until then, we'll be announcing this in every format that we have, as often as we can, to get it into our hearts and minds and calendars: In February, we move to 5!
Church Potluck, February 12th
Mark your calendars for another great time of food and fellowship. Our next church potluck will be Sunday, February 12th immediately following the service in the fellowship hall. The theme will be love. In other words, bring a dish that reminds you of someone you love. If you would like to sign up to bring something please contact Katie Walker, or Megan LaMarca, .
Dinner Hosts Wanted
Dinner with Friends is a relaxed way to meet some new people and/or get better acquainted with some that you might already know all around the family dinner table. March 29, 30, 31 (Thurs/Fri/Sat) we are looking for hosts willing to open up their homes for a small intimate dinner party (4 to 8 guests; which up to you). The dinner does not have to be gourmet or fancy, just a family meal where you can invite folks in to break bread and enjoy an evening of food, fun and fellowship.As a host you will be responsible for providing the meal; we will take care of the rest; placing guests in your party and notifying them of the date, time and location. If you would like to be a host on one of the evenings in November please contact David Chatburn,, (646-245-1564), include as many of the above dates that will work for you (you will only be assigned to host one dinner). Also, it is very important to include your name, email address and contact phone number and if you would be willing to serve guests with dietary restrictions.
Discipleship at Resurrection, Winter/Spring 2012
Love Walked Among Us: Learning to Love Like Jesus
When Christ calls us to follow him, he instructs us to find tangible ways to love one another and encourage one another toward faith in him. The discipleship ministry at Resurrection provides anyone who seeks to faithfully follow Christ the opportunity of intentionally connecting with others for the purpose of maturing in relationship with Christ.
Large Group Meetings
The structure of discipleship will change a bit from the fall. We will go back to meeting as a large group once a month. We will gather on the 2nd Sunday of each month (except for the month of April) at 3:30 PM at the church to eat together (appetizers) and listen to stories about how God is at work in our lives. We will also use that time to discuss the book Love Walked Among Us: Learning to Love Like Jesus. The goal of discussing this book together is to learn more about how to love others as we look at the life and ministry of Jesus. Please mark down the following dates on your calendar for the large group meetings: January 15, February 12, March 11, April 15, May 13.
Small Groups
After the initial Large Group Meeting (January 15th), we will break people into gender-specific small groups of 3-4 people, no larger than 5 (note: groups from last term have the option to remain together). These smaller groups will then plan to meet twice per month for sharing, prayer, and encouragement. These groups will determine their own times to meet, and they will have a peer leader who will help facilitate the group time and lead discussion (but the peer leader will also take part in the group in the same way as the others.)
These meetings are designed to be a safe and intimate place for group members to ask for prayer, confess sin, share doubt, as well as pray for each other, and call one another to faithfully follow Christ, as well to provide a common topic/teaching from the Bible that people of the church can discuss and think through together.
Participation
Each participant will be asked to participate for the majority of the term. There will be a fee of $20 for each participant (which covers the cost of the book and food). If this fee is a hindrance to your participation, please notify David Stancil about scholarship funds.
