Palm Sunday Celebration

/in /by

Sunday, April 2 • 10:00 a.m.

Join us on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. as we celebrate the beginning of Holy Week with Palm Sunday. The children will be waving palms at the beginning of worship. You won’t want to miss this time honored tradition!

We will continue our sermon series Seeking. On Sunday, we will examine Seeking: Where Are You Headed? Jesus’ journey to the cross should always catch us off-guard. As dismayed as the disciples, we ask, “Jesus, are you really headed this way, straight to your death?” Many of our weekly questions throughout the season so far have helped us prepare spiritually for Holy Week. Now we examine if our beliefs have changed our behaviors. Has your path changed? In the midst of opposing forces, which
way will you go?

It’s going to be a great day at Shawnee Community! We can’t wait to worship with you.

Disciple Makers Mission Project

/in , /by

As part of our Disciple Makers class we have talked about how we can best serve God and our community. The class has thoughtfully considered several area needs to support and decided that a need that was meaningful to them and best represented how they feel they can live out Jesus’ love for the community in their own lives is the Great Plains SPCA.

They have picked the Great Plains SPCA to support as our church wide mission project for the next month. Great Plains SPCA provides services for about 4,000 animals a year. They partner with seven shelters in the metro area as well as provide care for homeless pets, reuniting lost pets with their owners, serving through their HERO program, collaboration with Puppies for Parole, public behavior classes and their Pet Food Pantry program.

Please support our Disciple Makers and Great Plains SPCA through donations of wet or dry cat and dog food, peanut butter, jerky treats, soft treats, paper towels, household cleaners. New or gently used beds, blankets, towels, toys, pet food/water bowls, kennels, and newspaper. You can also make a monetary donation that will be passed along to Great Plains SPCA.

Disciple Makers will be collecting these supplies through April 16th and you can drop off any of these supplies at the church.

Sunday, March 26 • 10:00 a.m.

Join us this Lent on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. in person or streaming live on Facebook as we, together as a community, seek clarity, seek wisdom, and seek a love that makes us whole.

On Sunday, we will examine Seeking: Can These Bones Live? When you find yourself in a valley of dry bones, when all hope seems lost, when death and grief surround you, with desperation you might cry out, “Can these bones live?” Can we find hope when things are bleak? Can we really trust in God’s resurrection?
