Greetings Topeka First UMC,

I hope that you are having a wonderful Holy week! I'm sending a few pictures along with my note this week.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Easter Egg Hunt such a huge success! Here are a couple of the families who enjoyed the egg hunt:

Winter, Ashleigh & Ryan, John, & Aniah

Ellen, Liz, Rosalie

Holy week began last Sunday with Palm Sunday and the kids processing in with the palms.

I hope that you will experience the rest of Holy week with us. Maundy Thursday (tonight) is at 6:30 pm in the Klasse Chapel, Good Friday (tomorrow)  is at 7:30 pm in the Sanctuary.

On Easter Sunday services are at 8:15 am,  9:30 am, and 10:45 am.  I hope you will make plans to bring your family and friends as we celebrate God's eternal hope of resurrection as a church family! We will also have a photo booth set up in the Celebration Room for family pictures before and after the services.

Blessings, Pastor Brad

Sharefest provides an incredible opportunity to partner with other churches to serve local schools. Through activities such as landscaping, painting, construction, and clean-up, we aim to revitalize and uplift the spaces that help nurture and shape our community's children and families. Sign up here under Scott Magnet Elementary on April 26th from 8 am-12 pm. Your involvement is a powerful way to showcase Christ's love through service. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of children, families, and the organizations that support them in Topeka.

Mobile Access Partnership (MAP) offers services to individuals including showers, laundry, a hot meal, and health care. Sometimes, the K-State Vet Clinic & the Street Dog Coalition are also on site to help with pet care needs. Topeka First UMC hosts the MAP service in our parking lot. Volunteers sit inside the church building and let individuals in to use the restrooms.  Sign up here to be an "indoor bathroom monitor" using this link.
