Greetings Topeka First UMC,

I hope that you are having a great week as we prepare for Super Bowl Sunday!

Before we get to this Sunday, I want to be sure and thank everyone who made the State of the Church dinner and meeting such a great night! If you were unable to attend, you can watch the meeting here.

In worship, we are continuing our sermon series called, "The Power of Connection." This week, we will look at the impact of not just connections, but healthy connections! I hope you will join us at 8:15, 9:30, or 10:45.

The youth are having their SOUPer Bowl Summer Missions fundraiser from 9-Noon this Sunday.  Bowls of soup will be available for $5.  You can eat at church or get bowls to-go. Don't forget, this Sunday is Red Sunday! Wear your Chiefs shirts for Super Bowl Sunday! 

All men of the church are invited to the Men's Breakfast & Coffee at The Pad tomorow at 8am.

Next Wednesday, Feb. 15 has both Kid's Night Out & Elevate Youth Group.  A light meal will be served at 6 followed by programming at 6:30. 

Mark your calendar for Ash Wednesday, Feb. 22.  From 11am - 1pm, Pastors will be available for Imposition of Ashes in the Klasse Chapel.  In addition, the Community Lunch that day begins at 11:30am!  An evening Worship Service will be held that night at 6:30pm.
