Latest Youth Newsletter

  Well the Chiefs won! Should we do a super bowl watch party Sunday at 5:30 PM 02-09-25? If you are interested let me know. Of course No halftime show, and muted commercials would be prudent. Our next Bible Study night is Tuesday February 11th at 7:00 PM. The Girls will be having their meeting at our house (Bring your favorite coffee mug for Hot Chocolate). The Guys will be going to Taco Bell (101 SE 29th St, Topeka, KS 66605). Meet at the church at 6:45 for the guys to get to taco bell on time. If you want to meet us directly, be there at 7:00PM.

New Year New Focus

"Without Me you can do nothing."

Church Wide Focus:

John 15:5 (NKJV) “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Pastor encouraged us to abide in Jesus. We cannot abide in a house we never visit. I trust you signed up for the Bible Reading plan. Here is the link again.

Our theme for the Youth this year will be:

"Bring them to Jesus"

Mark 2:3-5 (NKJV) 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”

I'd like to get a couple signs made for this when we get a name.
3. When should we do it?
It will start June 3rd? Tuesday Evenings? 7:00 PM - 8:15 PM?

Bring lots of friends. This will likely be the finale to the "Tribes" Summer competition program.
