Topeka First UMC News, Info., & Events
Greeting Topeka First UMC, I hope you’re having a great week and you are staying in the air-conditioning! I hope that you will make plans to join us this weekend for worship! Our new sermon series is called "Homecoming.” Do you remember going to Homecoming? Going back to high school or college years later? It can be fun and interesting to go home. With this thought in mind, our new series begins with Homecoming in God. I hope that you will make plans to join us at 8:15 am, 9:30 am, or 10:45 am, as we are reminded that we can always come home to God! We will celebrate Holy Communion at all 3 services! The 9:30 am & 10:45 am services are also live-streamed. Coming up on Sunday September 27, we will be celebrating Steve Eubank’s 30 years of leading the SAnctuary Choir here at Topeka First! On that day, Pastor Emeritus Rev. Mike Chamberlain will be here and leading worship at 10:45 am as part of the celebration. The theme that day will revolve around music and how God reaches us through music. The choir will sing a new anthem specially commissioned by Mark Hayes and there will be a number of ther special moments planned for worship. After the service, we will celebrate Steve’s ministry with a catered lunch in fellowship hall. So that we can make plans, please let us know you'll be attending the luncheon by signing up here or on the sheet at the Connection Desk in the Celebration Room. Pat Yancey, Director of Worship and Caring Ministries will be preaching at 8:15 and 9:30 am on that day as well. See you Sunday,
