Mother's Day and more @ Revolution

Hello Revolution,

When I was a kid, my mom received the same gift from me every Mother’s Day:
coupons. That’s right…coupons. But they were no ordinary coupons; these
were coupons that I made with my own two hands. And my mother could redeem
these coupons to receive luxurious benefits like “one (1) free foot-rub,”
“one (1) deluxe grilled cheese sandwich,” and “three (3) free compliments.”
Looking back, I can’t believe I made my mom, one of the sweetest and most
beautiful women in the world, redeem a coupon for compliments!

What’s worse is that I never kept up my end of the bargain. I enjoyed
making my mother smile by giving her the coupons, but by the time the sun
had set on Mother’s Day, I had all but forgotten about the gifts I promised
to give her. And every year, my mom would graciously let me slide (I can
only remember her “redeeming” one coupon over all those years), telling me
that all that matters to her on Mother’s Day is knowing that I love her and
feel loved by her.

I told you she is sweet and beautiful.

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and it’s not always a happy day for everyone.
Some of our mothers have passed away. Others were absent or abusive. And
in worship this Sunday, we will acknowledge the grief many feel this time of
year. But we’ll also affirm the love of our mothers (and other women in our
lives who’ve been motherly toward us), and we’ll celebrate how God is like a
mother to all her children, and all that matters to God is knowing that we
love God and feel loved by God. I hope to see you there.

Here are your Revolution updates:

*+ This Sunday in Worship - 11am +*
Three big things are happening this Sunday at your church. First, Pastor
Geovanna is preaching the Mother’s Day sermon. Second, we will be sporting
perhaps the largest band in Revolution’s history (and I mean the number of
people, not the weight of the people). Third, we’ll kick off “El Salvador
Month” at Revolution, during which we’ll learn something new each week about
El Salvador and how we can all contribute to our new El Salvador Project.
See you there!

*+ Picnic at Loose Park- Sunday May 16th- After service + *
Join us at Loose Park after church for good food and good fun. The large
shelter is reserved by another group so we will be meeting at the
picnic area just east of the playground and close to the 51st and Wornall
entrance where there is lots of ground space. Look for the bright orange
flag. If you have extra blankets, chairs or even card tables please bring
them! Please bring a main course, side dish or dessert to share and your own
dishes and utensils. Drinks and cups will be provided. Frisbees, balls and
other outdoor games are encouraged too! Let April know if you plan to come:

That’s it for now, Revolution. Thank your mother, or someone who has been a
mother to you!

In the Revolutionary Love of Christ,

Eric

Being Together, Celebrating Wins, and El Salvador

Hello Revolution,

Sunday is my favorite day of the week, because it’s when I have the chance
to see our community gathered together, in one place at one time. These
five years at Revolution have been the most fulfilling years of my life so
far. Just think of all that we’ve been able to celebrate together…
weddings. Baptisms. Tree-plantings. Fundraisers (for Ecuador, Guatemala,
N2N, Refugee Friends Center, and more). Fall festivals. Worship. Communion.
Small groups. Potlucks. New babies. Healings and other miracles. 275,000
Neighbor-to-Neighbor meals. I could keep going, but you get the idea…

There is nothing like being the church together, and it’s when we’re
together that God’s power in us is revealed. Words cannot convey the deep
sense of gratitude I feel for your lives, for our lives together, and for
God’s Life among us, and an email cannot express the longing I have to see
what God will do next with us, for us, and through us. Thank you,
Revolution!

*Here are your Revolution updates:*

*+++ This Sunday’s Message :: “Passages: Learning to Celebrate Life’s
Victories” +++*
We live in a move-on world. The minute we achieve one thing, almost
immediately, it’s on to the next. Rarely do we stop and celebrate all of
life’s victories, big and small. This Sunday, as we honor our graduates and
thank our teachers, we will rethink the societal norm that encourages us to
jump from one achievement to the next, and we will learn to stop and
celebrate the successes of each and every day.

Also, keep in mind that it’s the first Sunday of the month, which means
we’ll share Holy Communion together. So, please bring some bread (any kind
of bread) to share with our homeless brothers and sisters through Neighbor
to Neighbor’s bread rack ministry. Thanks!

*+++ Graduation Sunday +++*
Are you graduating from elementary, junior high, high school, college, or
graduate school this year? This Sunday, May 2, we would like to honor your
achievement! Please let us know if you, your child, or someone you know is
a graduate by hitting REPLY and telling us about it! Then show up for
worship on May 2, and let us shower you with all the attention you deserve.

Also that same day, we’ll thank the teachers in our congregation for their
contributions over the past school year. It will be a special service…if
you have a friend, neighbor, or family member who is a teacher, bring them
along and let us thank them!

*+++ El Salvador Project :: A Note from Susan Nickell, Team Leader +++*
*We are going to have a short meeting after worship on Sunday in the Red
Room. (I emphasize SHORT!) It will concern only the display/info for El
Salvador month which is starting on May 9. Anyone who can help, or has an
idea please plan on attending. *
*Thanks, *
*Susan*

That’s it for now, Revolution. Keep on being you, ok?

In the Revolutionary Love of Christ,
Pastor Eric
