Church of the Resurrection's ShareChurch Ministry


A longtime Overland Park, Kansas, resident, Scott Sjoberg co-owns Bee Organized Enterprises, which provides a host of services designed to reduce clutter and increase a sense of in-home harmony and productivity. In addition to his professional responsibilities, Scott Sjoberg maintains an active presence in the Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, which serves people throughout the Kansas City community and beyond. 

ShareChurch, a foundational ministry of the church, engages with church leaders in inspiring them to greater acts of faith that engage with community members and help them attain their full potential. With a focus on renewing the United Methodist Church, the initiative reaches out to clergy as well as church staff and volunteers who are committed to making a difference. The partnership model at the core of this initiative involves churches across the country and has its roots in the “circuit rider system” that helped grow Methodism at its outset. 

Leadership training events to be broadcast live at Leawood in the upcoming year include The Global Leadership Summit 2018, which will take place in Willow Springs, Missouri. Other anticipated events include the three-day Leadership Institute, held annually in late September.

Ensuring That Loved Ones Receive Proper Support as They Age


Scott Sjoberg has served as owner-operator of Right at Home in Overland Park, Kansas, since 2010, providing personalized in-home care services to local residents. His commitment to home care dates back to 1999, when his wife was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Scott Sjoberg understands intimately the issues that those he serves face on a daily basis. 

Deciding when a loved one needs care often involves paying attention to subtle clues, including symptoms of confusion when performing tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and bathing. In addition, balance problems often arise from inner ear infections and joint problems, and may also relate to dementia. In certain cases, need for support manifests in difficulties in maintaining a properly stocked pantry and refrigerator, and ensuring that basic dietary needs are met. 

A key tenet of Right at Home in-home senior care is flexibility, with services customized to specific needs. These range from simple help with daily activities around the home to dedicated assistance following surgery or a hospital stay. Experienced team members can accurately gauge the level of support needed and ensure that it is provided.
