Topeka First News

Greetings Topeka First UMC,

Christmas is here! I hope that you are making plans to join us for one of the Christmas Eve services at 5:00 pm and 11:00 pm. Both services end with candlelight and celebrate the birth of Jesus with the light of Christ coming to us in the darkness! We will also have a photo booth for your Christmas pictures. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Next Sunday, Dec. 29, there will be one service at 10:45 am in the Chapel. Scott Beck will be leading us with the message, with Deanna Guzman and Steve Eubank leading us in music. 

If you are out of town or cannot make it, Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Blessings,

Pastor Brad
