THANK YOU EASTER VOLUNTEERS!
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to welcome our guests to Easter worship. You never know where someone is coming from, or what they have been going through, and your welcoming presence may be how they first encounter the love of Jesus and the hope of the resurrection. We still have a few openings if you’d like to sign up and help. Here’s the link.
NO VESPERS TUESDAY, April 11
We’ll not have Vespers on Tuesday, April 11 as I’ll be out this week writing. We’ll pick up on Tuesday, April 18, live from our sanctuary where I’ll be offering a Conversation with Your Senior Pastor focused on questions about faith, the Bible, controversial issues and more. (See what is coming up after Easter below.)
JOIN ME FOR THE SEVENDAYS KINDNESS WALK APRIL 16
Nine years ago today, we held the funeral services for Reat Underwood and his
grandfather, Dr. William Corporon, who were killed at the Jewish Community
Center on Palm Sunday, 2014. Terri LaManno’s service, who was killed at Village
Shalom, was held that week as well.
In response to these acts of violence, and as a way of “overcoming evil with good”
(Romans 12:21), the Corporon family started the SevenDays organization focused
on inspiring kindness and understanding. Each year they have a Kindness Walk
and this year it will be Sunday, April 16 starting at Resurrection Leawood.
I’ll be there and hope many of you will join me and people from all over Kansas
City from a variety of faiths, races, cultures and ages.
If you like to learn more or sign up to join me on this 1.3 mile walk, here’s the
link.

COMING UP AFTER EASTER
A Conversation with Your Senior Pastor – On Tuesdays, April 18 and 25, 6:30 – 8 pm, in the Leawood sanctuary and online, I’ll be answering some of your most frequent questions about faith, the Bible, theology and life. You can register for this event and submit a question that you’d like to see me include here.
The Colors of God’s Love – An online discussion with experts offering insights into multiracial foster care and adoption is April 11 at 6 pm CDT. Learn more and register here to receive the Zoom link.
Bookmobile Used Book Drive – Next weekend April 15/16, you can help us
“stuff the bookmobile” by bringing gently used children’s books for
distribution to low-income students through the bookmobile and reading
programs. Details here.
Serve Saturday: Creation Care – Also on April 15, our Serve Saturday event will have some special orchard/gardening projects in celebration of Earth Day. Select a project and sign up to serve here.
Finally, I received a special prayer request this week from Ian Lovett, a reporter at the Wall Street Journal who has written about Resurrection in the past. He asked if as Christian leaders we would join in praying for his friend and colleague Evan Gershkovich, who was wrongfully detained last week in Russia. Ian is currently reporting on Ukraine. I hope you’ll lift up Evan and Ian in your prayers as well as the people of Ukraine who need the hope of Easter more than ever.
You are hope-radiating, Easter people, Resurrection, and I’m grateful to be your pastor.
Looking forward to celebrating Easter with you!
Adam
