What's Happening @ Resurrection
January Fellowship/Service Event
Saturday, January 22 from 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM in the Outreach Center Gym
Please join us on Saturday, January 22 from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM in the gym in our Outreach Building to create Ben’s Bells Kindness coins through the Ben’s Bells organization. If you would like to attend this event, please email Brenda O’Connor, boconnor2222@yahoo.com, with the number of people in your party. Thank you! If you have questions, you can reach Brenda on her cell phone at (520) 247-9086.
What is Ben’s Bells? Here is the founder’s story:
In 2002, Jeannette Mare’s life changed forever when her son, Ben, died suddenly just before his third birthday. In the months following his death, Jeannette and her friends and family began making ceramic wind chimes – the first Ben’s Bells in her backyard studio. Being surrounded by supportive people and working with clay toward a common goal was therapeutic for her family and their healing. During this time, Jeannette learned how a small act of kindness could make such a difference in a person’s life, no matter their background. She wanted to find a way to teach others about the impact of intentional acts of kindness, and so the idea for the bell came to life. Jeannette and her friends made four hundred Bells and distributed them in the Tucson community on the first anniversary of Ben’s death. Through these Bells, she had found a way to pay forward the kindness that had been shown to her.
This started a powerful ripple effect. People who found the Bells shared their own stories of grief and healing hope. The local newspaper printed the story on the front page. School groups, businesses, and individuals started calling to see how they could get involved, and soon, thousands of Tucsonans were helping to craft Ben’s Bells.
Since 2003, Ben’s Bells has been operating as a nonprofit, growing kindness education programs and continuing to distribute thousands of Ben’s Bells every year. The Bells are a symbol of kindness and its power to heal. These simple wind chimes touch people’s lives and create kinder communities.
What will we do at this event?
We will receive a to–go box from the Ben’s Bells Studio that includes a packet of kindness education activities, as well as materials and instructions for painting Ben’s Bells Kindness Coins. Kindness Coins are handmade by volunteers in studios or at an off-site location (this is what we are doing). Kindness coins are an important tool for practicing kindness. Each one comes with a tag stating “This is a Ben’s Bells Kindness Coin. Thank you for sharing your kindness. Pass it on.” Givers are encouraged to recognize kind acts around them and present a Kindness Coin to those who demonstrate kindness. That person is then encouraged to pass it on to another person, and so on, and so on. Research shows that recognizing kindness in others increases a person’s happiness and satisfaction. Kindness Coins are a great way to acknowledge the kindness around us and practice our kindness skills!

Feed My Starving ChildrenVolunteers Needed (All Ages Welcome!)
Saturday, February 12, 2022
8:00 - 10:00 AM
Founded in 1987, Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a Christian non-profit charity committed to feeding God's children in body and spirit. The approach is simple: volunteers hand pack meals specially formulated for malnourished children, and FMSC sends them to partners around the world where they are distributed to orphanages, schools, clinics and feeding programs to break the cycle of poverty. FMSC food has reached nearly 70 countries in their history.
Last year's event was canceled due to COVID. This year, the event has been downsized and reconfigured to allow for social distancing. The facility has a new state of the art filtration system that has proven successful in filtering out 99.9% of viruses from the air. In addition, all surfaces will be cleaned and disinfected between shifts.
We are looking for volunteers aged 5 and over to sign up for a two hour packing shift on Saturday, February 12, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, at Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene (500 West Calle Concordia, Oro Valley). Each volunteer will pack about 220 meals. The stretch goal over all of the sessions this year is to pack one million meals! Join us, and invite your friends to pack with you. Please enroll on the signup sheet available after services at either location or email your names and at least one email address to Chuck Roehrick (ctroehrick@gmail.com).
If you would like to see other packing dates and shifts, go to ovcn.church/fmsc or fmsc.org.
If you have questions, please contact Chuck Roehrick.

Technology Upgrades
A great big Thank you to Rob Eyer, our Thrivent Representative, and member, for matching ($2,500) gift from one of our members. One of our members gave a gift of $3600 towards RLC’s Technology Upgrade initiative. RLC’s Technology Upgrade initiative includes upgrading our Wi-Fi network for improved transmission of our live-streamed services. It also includes the repair and some-day replacement of our projectors and replacement of old and slow computers and accessories.
As some of you may know, the church was hit by a lightning surge that ruined some of our equipment. The age of the network infrastructure and the location made it more susceptible to this kind of damage. A company has been hired to start the work on upgrading our infrastructure. The work will be an ongoing process that we are hoping will improve our Wi-Fi transmission and well as protect us from future electrical surge damage. This company also repaired, although temporarily, our projectors until we raise the money needed to replace them with LED walls similar to what you may have experienced at our outdoor Christmas Eve service.
Here is the good news! We have had another member who decided to donate an additional $2500 match if RLC can raise another $2500! So if your heart is moved to help us achieve our goals in the Technology Upgrade initiative, please consider contributing to this cause. You can do it through your direct online contribution or an additional check with Technology Upgrade in the comment section. If 100 members give just $25, we will achieve the match and start improving your worship experience.
