Greetings Topeka First UMC,

I hope that you are having a great week!

Thank you to everyone who was a part of our first ever Fall-O-Ween! What a great day to share with our church family and the community. Special thanks for the band for playing music, all who helped with food, and everyone who assisted with games or handed out candy. We also want to thank everyone who came and helped with the Fall cleanup last Saturday. The outside landscaping of the church looks great!

Coming up this Sunday is All Saints Sunday. This is one of those Sundays that is very special. In the United Methodist Church, the saints are the people of faith that have gone on to glory and the life that is to come. In Hebrews, this group of people is referred to as the “Great Cloud of Witnesses.” Our theme will be the Legacy of the Saints, and we will celebrate Holy Communion at all three services. After worship, I will be hosting Pizza with the Pastor. If you would like to join the church, be baptized, or have your children baptized, I would invite you to join me for lunch and a conversation about the meaning behind baptism, and membership. 

We are looking for some folks to volunteer to serve communion this Sunday during the 10:45 am service. If you can help, please sign up using this Sunday Morning Volunteer Sign-Up Genius link.

The youth group Sunday School time has been moved to 10:45 am starting this Sunday. All youth are encouraged to attend!

Finally, don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour on Saturday night!

I hope you will join us 10:45 am! The 10:45 am service will also be live-streamed in case you can't be in person with us.

See you Sunday,
Pastor Brad
