URGENT! Homeless Feed Fanny Pack Items NEEDED

We will be feeding up to 85 homeless on Super Bowl Sunday beginning at 3:30PM. We are working with another church to provide food, football, fellowship, ministry, and love. At the end of the evening we are giving out fanny packs filled with toiletries, scarves and miscellaneous items. For this, we have received donations but are still short some.

Below is a list of what we still need for the Homeless Feed fanny packs.
20 toothpastes (if small tubes, please double)
20 skin lotion
40 shampoos
25 bar soaps
25 deodorants
25 small tissues
43 small shaving creams
40 lip balms
30 hand sanatizing gels
44 pairs of gloves

If you are able to help, please e-mail Pastor Lee (plee@rezlife.org) what you will be able to donate, so we don't double up too much. We need the items no later than Sunday morning in order to get them into the packs and ready for Sunday afternoon. Also, if you have items such as scarves, please bring them in as soon as possible - latest Sunday morning - but certainly let me know how many you are bringing of what item.

We are very excited and appreciate so much your willingness to serve and give. If you know of someone who would like to give, please feel free to forward this and have them let Pastor Lee know what they can provide.

Thanks and be blessed.

Men's ENCOUNTER -- This Weekend!

Dear Men,

Just a quick reminder that there is still time to sign up for the Men's Encounter taking place this weekend at Resurrection Life Church!

As new creations in Christ, all of us are going through the process of being renewed through the power of the Cross. This restoration process is somewhat like peeling the layers off an onion. In God's perfect timing, the Holy Spirit gently yet completely deals with issues and bondages that have lodged in the layers of our mind, will, and emotions to bring us to wholeness and freedom. Through this Encounter Weekend you will find yourself being set free to soar in new found healing and spiritual release.

The Encounter is also a perfect event to bring an unsaved friend, co-worker, or family member. There are concentrated opportunities given for individuals to meet Christ, break free of negative habits, and be healed body, soul, and spirit. Those who attend continually testify of life-transforming experiences.

Our schedule is Friday, January 25 from 7 - 9 p.m. Registration starts at 6:30 p.m. Then on Saturday, January 26 we start at 8:00 a.m. with a continental breakfast and sessions run all day long until 9:00 p.m. Lunch and Dinner are also served.

Registration is $ 50.00 for first time attenders. Repeat attendees pay $ 25.00
This fee includes all meals and handout materials.

Please contact the Rez Life Church office if you would like to register!! We've saved a place for YOU!
