We can’t wait to worship with you on Sunday, April 30 at 10:00 a.m. either in person or streaming live on Facebook. We will continue our sermon series, Closer & Closer. On Sunday we will examine, Closer & Closer: Someone to Watch Over You. What does it mean to depend on others, especially God? IF we are willing to depend on others a necessary component is trust and vulnerability. Our culture isn’t so great at either one of those things, we’re taught individualism is the most important component of our lives. Yet, those are exactly what we need in our spiritual journey. It’s a risk of our emotions and sense of self-sufficiency, but it’s a necessary risk for being in relationship with others, including God.
Mark Sunday, May 7 on your calendar for our “Meet Your Elder” lunch following worship. Baked potatoes and toppings along with tea and lemonade will be provided. If you have a favorite dessert, please bring to share.
This will be a great opportunity to get to know your elder as well as those in your group. We are all here to support each other! If you are able to help with setup, serving or cleanup, contact Nancy Wyle at 913-265-4108. This will allow the elders to sit with their groups.
Who is my elder, you may ask? Sandy Allen has made a great poster which is displayed outside the sanctuary.
We look forward to seeing everyone on May 7!

We can’t wait to worship with you on Sunday! Join us at 10:00 a.m., in person or streaming live on Facebook, as we continue our sermon series, Closer & Closer. Before Jesus’ followers became the heroic saints of the church as we now know them, they were simply a group of friends hearing and telling one another a story for which they could barely find the words. That story was life changing for all of them—it was the story of Jesus’ return to be close once again with his friends and to bring them closer to one another. Like Jesus’ friends, and countless people of faith since them, we share in these stories to become closer to Jesus and one another…
