Greetings Topeka First UMC,

I hope that you are having a great week!

Join us this Saturday, March 21 for an all-church workday led by Dave Hutchinson. We will begin at 8:00 am and work for a few hours sprucing up the outside of the church as Spring is here! We will have donuts and coffee for all volunteers!

I hope you will join us live at 8:15 am, 9:30 am, or 10:45am, or through the live-stream at 9:30 am,  or 10:45 am. In worship this week, we are continuing our Lenton series "Living with Intention." This Sunday, we will read from the scriptures and think about the intention behind the cross. Why did Jesus have to die? Why would he have to be crucified? On Sunday, we will peel back the layers and look at the deeper meanings and intentions with Jesus' death on the cross.

Next week on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, I hope you will plan to join us for "In the Upper Room." This is a chance to experience a meal in the time of Jesus. Use this link to our website to select either March 24 at 4:30 pm or 6:30 pm or March 25 at 4:30 pm.

The next few weeks will be great! Holy Week begins a week from Sunday with Palm Sunday, and Easter the following week, on Sunday April 5. 

As a reminder, during 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.

See you Saturday and Sunday,
Pastor Brad

70th Wedding Anniversary!

Topeka First UMC,

The Latimer's are celebrating their 70th Wedding Anniversary on April 8th! Be sure to send them a card!

How exciting!

Blessings, Shawna

Mission Collection

As we move through the month of March, we want to thank everyone who has already brought in grocery bags full of items for Doorstep! We take the bags over to Doorstep each week instead of collecting them all month because of the small area Doorstep has to store the groceries. There are plenty of grocery sacks available the Celebration Room on the table below the stained glass windows. Again, thank you for supporting our Mission Partner, Doorstep!
