We Are Resolved

Thrift Store Night - 5/31


* Based on the feedback we've been receiving, we've decided to change the format of the event. We understand that walking a catwalk and being judged in front of 90 people can be rather intimidating, so we've decided to make it more casual and informal in order to encourage broader participation.

On Friday, May 31st we will having our first ever Thrift Store Night at Resolved. As many of you know, Hope Thrift is an arm of Seeds of Hope. Every dollar made at Hope Thrift helps fund the ministry of Seeds of Hope, which allows this ministry to serve the homeless, poor, prostitutes, drug addicts and ex-offenders on the streets of Camden. The idea behind having this event is to draw awareness to Hope Thrift and to help fund their mission.

Participation in this event is not required. Even if you aren't able to purchase an outfit, you can still come to Resolved to enjoy some singing, teaching, and fellowship.

The Details:
  • Objective: find an outfit at a thrift store for under $20
  • Shopping at Hope Thrift is recommended but not required
  • Encouraged to go shopping with your growth group
  • Must be purchased at thrift store on one consecutive day
  • Awards:
    • Most unique/outrageous
    • Most fashionable
    • Best accessories
    • Best overall
  • Prizes: Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Wawa, and Hope Thrift gift cards will be given away to the winners. Come prepared to write down your name on an index card with a description of your outfit if you want to be entered for a chance to win a gift card. We will announce the winners after the meeting.
  • Come dressed in your outfit (if you have an outrageous outfit, you're more than welcome to change into it once you get there).
  • Opportunity also to donate your new outfit back to Hope Thrift, but again not required.
You might be thinking to yourself, "I'm just not cut out for this." Hopefully this video will give you some confidence.

Resolved Tonight!


Just a reminder that we have our Resolved meeting tonight at 7:30. Our senior pastor Warren Boettcher will be preaching on unity and what that looks like for us as young adults. We'll also be allowing plenty of time for fellowship and finishing out the night by enjoying some family-friendly comedy together. You don't want to miss this one. We'll be going over our plans for a contest that will be taking place at the May Resolved meeting, which will be unlike anything you've ever experienced in your life. To give you a sneak peak, it involves thrift stores and a runway. You'll have to come on Friday to hear more!

The Resolved meetings are always great opportunities to see friends from other community groups that you don't typically get to see on a weekly basis. We've also been noticing a lot of new people checking out the Resolved meetings and it's a great opportunity to care for those folks.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Spring Retreat Details


The Resolved Spring Retreat is only a few days away! Here is some useful information about the weekend as well as a checklist to help you with packing. 

Details
  1. We will not be providing dinner on Friday night, so please eat something on the way.
  2. Registration will be on Friday, March 22 from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm in the Dining Hall (click here for a map of retreat center). 
  3. The opening session starts at 8:00 pm in the Turkey Point Theatre.
  4. The address to the retreat center is 11 Horseshoe Point Lane, North East, Maryland 21901. It takes about an hour and twenty minutes to get there from Marlton. Make sure you factor in traffic as well.
  5. Try to carpool if possible. Not only do you save money on gas and tolls, but you get some sweet fellowship time as well.
  6. During worship we will be leaving time for prophetic burdens and personal ministry. On past retreats, these have been some of the sweetest times. Be sure to pray beforehand and ask God if there are any burdens/scriptures he may want to lay on your heart to encourage others. If the thought of sharing a prophetic burden in front of 90 people scares you, remember that God can even use prophetic burdens one-on-one while you're praying with a friend.
  7. Clear your mind. We're all busy and we all struggle with things that distract us from God. Use this weekend as an opportunity to "set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth" (Colossians 3:2).
  8. With over 90 people registered, this will be our biggest retreat yet! Although it may be a temptation to view this weekend as a time to just hang out with your friends, keep in mind that there may be new people who aren't plugged into a Community Group yet. Make it your goal to be others-focused and to make at least 2-3 new friends this weekend.
  9. If you'd like to find out more information about NorthBay, visit their website.
What to Bring
  1. Bed linens/blankets/sleeping bag/pillow
  2. Towels and toiletries
  3. Warm clothes. The weather forecast is predicting temperatures to be in the high 40's.
  4. Bible and notebook
  5. No need to bring any food or drinks. The retreat center will be providing us with breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. Our hospitality team will provide some light snacks for the mid-afternoon and late-evenings.
  6. Volleyball/basketball/frisbee/disc golf equipment
  7. Games (If you have board games or card games, please bring them. Dutch Blitz is always a hit!)
  8. Cash or Check for registration (if you haven't paid yet)
  9. The health form (if you haven't submitted it already). I've attached a copy to this email.
I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions. Looking forward to an awesome weekend!

If you weren't able to make it to the Resolved Family Meeting on January 23rd and you still have questions about the calendar changes (i.e. why did we change the meetings to Friday nights, what is a "growth group" and how do I get involved), you can reach out to your Community Group leader for more info.

REVISED CALENDAR: 
  • 1st and 3rd Wednesdays - Community Groups
  • 2nd and 4th Wednesdays - Growth Groups
  • Final Fridays - Resolved Large Group Meetings (7:30 at the church)
