Church of the Resurrection

As we gather around tables this week, we're reminded that gratitude isn't just for seasons of abundance – it's a way of living that transforms our hearts and our community every single day. This Thanksgiving, we're grateful for the gift of community, for the questions that deepen our faith, and for the hope we find in each other. Have a wonderful holiday! #Resurrection #ResurrectionKC #ResurrectionUMC #Christian #Faith #Jesus #Methodist #UnitedMethodist #UMC #Thanksgiving #GiveThanks

Effective collaboration is an act of kindness that builds bridges across divides. Today, reach out to someone you don't usually work with and find ways to collaborate. As we treat others with respect in our collaborations, we embody the Golden Rule and create a more unified workplace. #Collaboration #WorkplaceUnity #KindnessAtWork

In our polarized world, choose to be a beacon of positivity. Offer a genuine smile, share an encouraging word, or leave an uplifting note for a coworker. These small gestures of kindness can create a ripple effect, transforming our workplace into a more civil and respectful environment. #SpreadPositivity #WorkplaceJoy #OvercomePolarization #DoUntoOthers

We asked: How can we work together to close the kindness and justice gaps in our country? Small acts. Sharing a meal. Valuing each other's gifts. Sometimes the little things make a big difference. Watch to hear more from the Resurrection community. How do you think we can work toward this goal?

What if we chose compassion over contention? Compassion involves heartfelt connection, showing sensitivity to the experiences of others through understanding and empathy. It's the thread that weaves through our differences, connecting us on a human level. If we can’t always see eye-to-eye, maybe we can try heart-to-heart. #DoUntoOthers

The way we choose our leaders matters—but so does how we treat each other during election season. Let's rise above divisive politics and choose leaders who exemplify the values we hold dear. How are you approaching this election season with both conviction AND compassion?

In a world of uncertainty, be someone others can count on. Follow through on your commitments, meet deadlines, and be consistent in your words and actions. This reliability is a powerful act of kindness that builds trust and overcomes divides in our workplace. #Reliability #TrustAtWork #IntentionalKindness #DoUntoOthers
