Topeka First UMC: Your Bridge to God, One Another, and the Community
Greetings Topeka First UMC,
Happy Wednesday! I'm sending you this mid-week email with a few things to note.
The meal tonight at 6 pm is a shredded bbq chicken sandwich & chips. We have cookies & a couple of cakes also. If you'd like to bring another side or salad, that'd be great. Remember, anyone is invited to eat with us!
Tonight is the first session of Pastor Brad's class which is a book study over "Getting to Good" written by UMC Pastor David Livingston. The class will be in Fellowship Hall and begins at 6:30 pm. If you ordered a book & haven't picked it up yet, Tiwana will be here to give it to you. If you didn't sign up for the class but want to attend, come tonight and we'll get a book ordered for you ($15).
Also, tonight is the first meeting of the newly formed Accessibility Team led by Laura Reiman. This will be a quick meeting...6-6:30 pm. Grab dinner and meet Laura in the Conference Room, #106.
Kid's activities begin at 6:30 pm as well as Youth Group. Youth Group will be practicing their dinner theater skits! Dinner theater tickets go on sale this Sunday. Tickets are $12 each for the March 29 & 30 dinner theater.
Wow! The first two weeks of our March mission collection was incredible! There were 821.5 # of groceries donated through Monday! If you need a grocery sack, they are in the Celebration Room, and at the Klasse Chapel & Sanctuary entrances. Thanks for helping Doorstep fill their pantry!
