Greetings Topeka First UMC,

I hope you have had a great week!

Happy Mother's Day to all! The theme for Sunday is "The Power of God."

This Sunday, we celebrate an important milestone in the faith journeys of four of our students: Wiley Heien, Gavan Jones, Jesse Osborne, and Kyson Seth, as they are confirmed in the church. 

After months of learning, reflection, and spiritual growth, they will publicly profess their faith and reaffirm the vows made at their baptisms. They have been led by our pastors and wonderful mentors including Betty Barker, Rick Barker, Angela Langley, John Roberts, and Sandy Vogel. 

We invite you to celebrate with them as they help lead in all three worship services, with the Service of Confirmation taking place during worship at 10:45 am

Blessings,
Pastor Brad

Young Adults, join us for our final gathering of the spring semester on Monday, May 11 from 6:00–7:30 pm! We’ll spend the evening around the fire enjoying hot dogs, s’mores, and community before summer begins. You’re welcome to bring a side to share. Whether you’ve come all year or are joining for the first time, we’d love to have you there! Contact Pastor Grace for the address.

The quilting group has received a number of cross-stitch quilt block kits, and would like to know if there are members who would enjoy participating by completing the cross stitch portion.  We would be happy to set the blocks together and quilt them. Take a look at the kits here. Call the church office: 785-233-8100 to let us know if you'd like to help.
