United Women in Faith
United Women in Faith
We believe that love in action can change the world. At Resurrection, we do this through learning, service, sisterhood, and faith opportunities both within the walls of the church and throughout our community.
Each of our members brings their life experience, like colorful tiles, to combine and create exquisite masterpieces. Constantly changing, refreshing, improving…lifting one another up. United Women in Faith is a sisterhood acting in faith to tackle the hard work of the world without hesitation. Faith, action, sisterhood.
Every day we show up, we take action, and we get it done. Join us to see LOVE IN ACTION.
Wrapping Up 2024
Monday, Dec. 9 | 9:30 AM | Resurrection Leawood, Room B206
United Women of Faith are invited to join us on December 9 at 9:30 am (B206) at Resurrection Leawood for our meaningful year-end celebration, featuring our annual Christmas Brunch! We’re combining the spirit of giving with festive fellowship as we wrap Red Bag gifts for local foster/adopt children, followed by our cherished brunch celebration. Can’t join a Red Bag team? Support the cause by donating at redbagskc.com, where 100% of contributions directly help children in need. Bring your favorite shareable treat (sweet or savory, but no casseroles) and help us make this final gathering of 2024 truly special as we spread holiday cheer through meaningful service and joyful community connection.
