Greetings Topeka First UMC,
I hope that you are having a great week!
Thank you to everyone who made holy week and especially Easter so meaningful! Christ is truly risen indeed!
As we continue to celebrate the season of Easter, our new sermon series beginning this week is called "Failing Forward." We begin this Sunday with looking at God and failure. While failure might be something that is hard for us to overcome, how does God view our failure?I hope that you will join us Sunday as we begin this new series that will help us reframe failure. You can join us at 8:15 am, 9:30 am, or 10:45 am, and via the livestream at 9:30 am & 10:45 am.

Yesterday you received an email about the youth dinner theater. I hope you will join us! I would also like to ask for your help in securing items of value for the silent auction. If you would like to donate something, please email John Roberts.
Finally, I want to say a big thank you to Chet Darby. Chet has been our Sunday morning and our "as needed" custodian for the last 10 years! Last Sunday was Chet's last Sunday as he is officially "re-retiring." Chet is a long-time member of the church, and we really appreciate all of his work. When you see Chet, be sure to thank him for all of his work with the church!
Lastly, here are the notes from the March Leadership Council meeting. The next few meetings are April 28, May 19, & July 7 all at 6 pm.
See you Sunday,
Pastor Brad
