Topeka First UMC News, Info., & Events, Feb. 28, 2026

Greetings Topeka First UMC,

I hope that you are enjoying the beautiful weather today and had a great week!

Coming up on Sunday, we are continuing our sermon series called "Living With Intention." Last week we witnessed Jesus going inward as he intentionally went into the desert for 40 days and 40 nights. This week, we will see Jesus moving out, into his ministry. The theme this week is "Jesus Stepping Into The Spotlight." Once he leaves the desert, Jesus is then ready to begin his public ministry, which is both strategic and Intentional. I hope you will join us Sunday, as see follow Jesus in living intentionally!

Elvanto, our church management system, initiated a site-wide password reset Thursday. If you are a member and have used Elvanto (through a web browser or through the app on your phone), you should have received an email requesting you to reset your password. Shawna will be able to help you if you haven't been able to set up a new password. Please email her directly (shawna@fumctopeka.org) for help or call her on Monday between 12 pm & 3 pm at church 785-233-8100. She won't be able to help reset passwords tomorrow.

Please join us on Sunday as we begin the Lent journey together. Throughout Lent, we will have communion at every service. If you would like to help serve communion, sign up here. Additionally, the same link allows you to sign up to be a greeter.

Blessings, Pastor Brad.
