Matthew’s Ministry
Matthew’s Ministry at Resurrection provides comprehensive programming for individuals with special needs across all ages and abilities, operating through both weekend and weekday programming that includes respite events, Sunday fellowship groups, Sunday school support for kids and students, day programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and various activities such as drama club and handbell ringer choir. While primarily based at the Leawood location, the ministry is expanding to additional sites, including Overland Park, West, Brookside, and Downtown, demonstrating the essential role these services play in the community. The ministry’s Angel Care program offers one-on-one direct support for children and students with special needs during Sunday worship services, enabling them to participate alongside their peers while allowing parents and caregivers to attend worship. Currently, Matthew’s Ministry has a critical need for volunteers across all locations to serve as Angel Care providers, as these volunteers directly facilitate inclusion and belonging for families with special needs children, making Sunday programming accessible and meaningful for everyone involved.
35th Anniversary
October marks Resurrection’s 35th anniversary, and we’ve got some great events lined up to celebrate this milestone. On October 4 at 10 am, we’re hosting our annual Car Show and Community Event, where you can bring the whole family to check out incredible cars, enjoy family activities and food trucks, and connect with our community in this exciting family-friendly celebration. Then, on October 14 at 6 pm, join us for our Foundation Dinner featuring inspiring speakers, live music, and good food as we look at what’s next for Resurrection. We’re also tackling a big challenge this month by working together to reach 35,000 service hours as a church, with lots of ways for you to get involved in making a difference here in Kansas City. Plus, we’ve extended the deadline for ordering your 35th anniversary t-shirts so you can still get yours in time for our month-long October celebration. Come be part of this special season as we celebrate 35 years of community, service, and purpose through sharing God’s love with the people of Kansas City and beyond.
First Grade Prayer Milestone and Retreat
We’ve got something incredible happening September 21 – we’re celebrating our first-graders and their Faith Walk Milestone of Prayer at all Resurrection locations. Our little ones will check in to Sunday School and then parade into worship for a unique experience, joining in the Lord’s Prayer that they’ve been practicing each week in Kids Ministry. Later that day, first graders and their grown-ups (at least one grown-up is required) can enjoy a retreat where they’ll learn about the faith essential of prayer while making a fun prayer craft to use at home. This is going to be a wonderful chance for our first graders to remind us all about the power of prayer in our faith journey, and we’d really love to have the 1st grader in your life be part of this important milestone.
