Resurrection @ SaddleBrooke

Coffee and Cookie Fellowship in SaddleBrooke in the Agave Restaurant ~ This Sunday, April 7

Join us for our Coffee and Cookie Fellowship in the Agave, the restaurant space to the right of

the reception desk on the first Sunday of each month. This is a great time to meet your friends

and make new friends!

Plan Ahead...No Services at SaddleBrooke on Easter Sunday!

Due to the Vermilion Room being unavailable on Easter Sunday, there will be no Services at

our SaddleBrooke site on April 21. A bus will be available for our SaddleBrooke members

and attendees to take to our Oro Valley site for our 9:15am Easter Sunday Service. The

bus will leave the parking lot at 8:15am. Please sign up at church as space is limited.

You are invited to join us for Easter Brunch at SaddleBrooke One after we return from the

Service at our Oro Valley site to celebrate Easter together. Brunch is at 11:00am and the

cost is $32 per person (plus tax and gratuity). Our fourth year of having a wonderful fellow-

ship time together without any of the work! To reserve your place, please sign up at the

reception desk before or after our SB Services.

As mentioned in last week’s Vision, Resurrection is

partnering with World Vision to practice Jesus’ teach-

ings found in Matthew 25; “...for I was hungry and you

gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something

to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was

naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you

took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me…

Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of

these who are members of my family, you did it to

me.”

On Palm Sunday, you will have an opportunity to spon-

sor children in Kenya who are seeking transformation

of their lives and their communities. Through your

prayerful generosity, these impoverished families will

experience clean water, improved health, education, and new economic opportunities. Pastor Randy will be

going to Kenya next February to visit communities that

Resurrection will be sponsoring. We hope to seed op-

portunities for future mission trips within our faith

community.

While donations through the offering plate are

appreciated, we’d prefer that you sponsor at least one

child ($39/mo) to help us reach a goal of 200 total child

sponsorships this year! Please note, you will not be able

to take sponsorship material home to fill out. The

forms must be filled out before or after the Worship

Services on Palm Sunday, April 14. Please bring credit

card information or a check along with you.

Thank you in advance for your continued faithful-

ness and generosity that delivers Jesus’ transformative power.

The family we are sponsoring arrived last

week. They were tired from their journey

which began 36 hours earlier in Turkey. They speak Farsi

(also known as Persian). Their case manager arranged

for an interpreter who translated our interactions at the

airport. At the airport meet and greet from Resurrec-

tion were Charlie/Laura Lentner, Jeff Kraus, Marcia Ris-

lov, and Martha Berg. The interpreter was originally

from Afghanistan like this family. Once their bags arrived,

the case manager and interpreter left with the family and

headed to the apartment. We waved, smiled and nodded

goodbye. Thank you for your contributions helping to

furnish the apartment. It was only possible because of

your generosity. Please continue to pray for their

adjustment. If you wish to support this ministry, please

make checks payable to Resurrection Lutheran Church and in the memo line write Refugee Ministry. (In two

weeks, read the update about Grace who arrived last

October). Thank you!

Please join us on Tuesday, April 30 to prepare, deliv-

er, and serve a hot meal for the homeless at the Pri-

mavera Men’s Shelter. We will need 5 volunteers to

meet at the church kitchen to help prepare the meal

at 1:15pm and 4 volunteers to meet at the church

kitchen at 4:30pm to deliver and serve the meal. We

also need at least 300 homemade cookies (please mark

them “Primavera” and leave them in the kitchen by

1:00pm on April 30). If you would like

to volunteer, please sign up on the OV

church patio or call the church office at

575-9901.

cies to which this congregation relates, and to special

posals for funding of 2019 projects from qualified or-

ganizations and agencies. A limited number of grants

Life Groups

All men are invited to participate in a lay facilitated Men’s Bi-

ble Study that meets on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month at 8:00am in Luther’s

Lair and uses the Serendipity Bible for Groups (copies of the Bible are available in class). The

theme of the study is: Recovery: Grief and Loss: Getting Through the Night. The study meets next on

Saturday, April 13 at 8:00am. Topic of discussion is: Acceptance (Job 2:1-10). For more information about the

study, please contact Duane Udstuen by email at: [email protected].

In 2017-2018 Resurrection began a congregation-wide

study, The Story. Small self-chosen groups were formed and

completed the year long study and enjoyed the experience. The

following year a commitment was made to go a step further to

form Life Groups, based on the successful small group experi-

ence. A few of the earlier-formed groups decided to continue,

claiming their current group as their “Life Group.” These were

the kernel from which our current twenty-one groups have

grown. This is amazing growth in only one year!! God is bless-

ing our efforts to become a friendlier, more connected congre-

gation.

This success did not happen without planning and effort.

We have a Life Group Leadership Team consisting of five mem-

bers with Connie Burda as chairperson. Leadership training for

our individual group leaders was offered earlier this spring and

there are two workshops coming up, one in May and another in

the fall. A library and cataloging system has been developed to

help leaders choose studies. Books and materials for studies

have been funded and are in the process of being purchased.

Currently, the team is working on developing the Life Group Web Page, a part of the greater Resurrection

Website. This page will provide a ready reference for which groups are meeting, their focus, their leader’s contact

information, when each meets, and pictures of the fun they are having together.

It is our hope that the enthusiasm and energy created in the Life Groups will spill over into the greater congre-

gation to encourage more and more to join a group. Life groups offer fellowship, fun, an opportunity to grow in your

faith, and most importantly, experience the encouragement and joy of living in a Christ-centered community of peo-

ple. Please consider trying a group out, or even forming one yourself.

For Life group leaders, times, and contact information, please call Connie Burda at (208) 867-1771.

Lent, Holy Week, Easter Watchers on the Hill A Series of Special Services for Lent

Join us this Lenten season for the

ongoing drama series during our Wednesday

evening Services at 6:15pm in OV.

The hill called Golgotha was not empty that Fri-

day. Besides the crosses and those dying upon them,

there were witnesses - watchers on that ancient hill. This series of spe-

cial Services for Lent attempts to overhear the conversations between

those first-century characters - some historical, some fictitious - as they

witnessed the death of our Lord.
