Advent 2020 — Enduring Joy

We often think of joy as a feeling we have after a fun activity or an emotion to be felt when we're among loved ones. But Jesus explained that joy is something much deeper than that.

Church of the Resurrection's 30th anniversary

In October 1990, a relatively small group of people met for worship for the first time — in a funeral home. With a name that was somewhat tongue-in-cheek because of its location but also a theological statement because of its dedication to Jesus Christ, United Methodist Church of the Resurrection was born.
