March FoodShare Challenge
2019-03-01 | Resurrection Church, 615 15th Street West, Hastings, 55033, United States
Now that you’ve got all that extra muscle in your arms from removing record February snowfalls, put it to good use by picking up extra bags of groceries and bringing them to Resurrection in March for the annual FoodShare Challenge drive. The food donations will be stockpiled in the sanctuary culminating in a “food pass” at the Overflow service to the awaiting truck outside our doors headed for Hastings Family Service on March 31st. Even better, all food and money donations will be matched, effectively doubling what we give to help others have access to healthy food.

The largest grassroots food and fund drive in the state, the Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign brings together various community organizations, businesses, and faith communities to help stock nearly 300 food shelves statewide. In 2018, over $8.1 million dollars and 5.5 million pounds of food were raised by Minnesota food shelves and Minnesota FoodShare.

Please join us for our Ash Wednesday service. The ashes are from palm branches that were burnt and the ashes were collected.

The ashes are a sign of seeking repentance from God. There will be no regularly scheduled Wednesday kids/youth programs or dinner, and all youth are encouraged to attend this service.

Here’s the setup:
For weeks, people have been pouring into the small western town of Deadwood for the biggest poker tournament this side of the Mississippi. From outlaws to marshals to saloon girls, the vast array of visitors and residents of Deadwood have made this small western frontier town THE place to be. As the festivities of the poker tournament conclude, a celebration party is planned at the Deadwood Saloon to award the prize money for the tournament and to celebrate what is hoping to be a very financially successful venture for the saloon. With a smattering of bandits, bankers, saloon girls, gamblers, east coast debutantes, and a few of the locals, this is guaranteed to make for a very interesting evening indeed.
Who will you be?
Pick your role-playing character from the display signup in the foyer at Resurrection, then get ready for a night of mystery and mayhem in the Wild West on March 23rd. You’ll receive more than enough information about your character, how to play, secrets and objectives for you to do with as you please throughout the party. Then signup online or at church to select and bring a menu item for the dinner.
