Centennial Celebration
On Sunday, October 10, please join us for the Centennial Celebration of the First Presbyterian Church building exactly one hundred years after the date of its dedication on October 10, 1910. The schedule for the day is exciting!
9:30 a.m. Sunday School classes will meet.
10:45 a.m. Worship Service, Cathi will conduct music from the 1910 service and a new anthem. Andra will play organ and piano. There will be displays and a brief presentation highlighting the church’s history. Pastor Don Wilson will preach an inspiring sermon.
12:00 noon. A Carry-In Dinner will follow the worship service.
1:30 p.m. We will be treated to an Organ Recital on our fine Quimby pipe organ by Jan Van Otterloo, staff organist at the Community of Christ Auditorium and Temple in Independence. A dessert reception for the organist will follow.
Mark your calendar, and bring a friend.
Celebrate Christ, Our Peace
The Peacemaking Offering will be received on World Communion Sunday, October 3. The word "peace" is widely used in the Bible and has a wealth of meaning. In our study of the Bible, we begin to understand the meaning of peace and peacemaking. The stories of the BIble show us what happens to individuals and communities as we become peacemakers. The stories shape our calling to be peacemakers.
The Peacemaking Offering supports a variety of peacemaking efforts at all levels of the Presbyterian Church: 25 percent is retained by the local congregations, 25 percent is used by Presbyteries and Synods, and 50 percent is allocated to General Assembly ministries. Pray for peace, give generously, make a difference for peace in the world.
Parent's Day Out
Most of you may not be aware but Charlotte and her crew will begin their 23rd year doing what they love to do best working with little one's. Starting after Labor Day, we will have a whole bunch of little ones having lots of fun at Parent's Day Out. If you have a chance stop in and say "Hello" and see how our church is helping others within the community. The Parent's Day Out Program is Mission Outreach outside the church. The school's schedule days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Army of Women
The Army of Women is a non-profit partnership between the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation and the Avon Foundation. Our goal is to build a data base of one million women, with and without a history of breast cancer. This data base will be used to help further research with the ultimate goal of actually preventing breast cancer.
If you choose to sign up, you will get periodic emails inviting you to participate in a specific research study. You are never obligated to participate in anything and you can drop out at any time. Involvement can range from an email questionnaire or phone call to actual visits to a lab. It is always your choice if you want to participate. If you would like to participate in breast cancer research in this way, log on to www.armyofwomen.org and sign up.
Heartland Center Fund Drive
Heartland Center Camp is participating in a matching grant fund drive through “Camps for Kids,” a United Way fund. Donations up to $1500 will be matched through this grant. Last year the camp raised over $50,000 for camp scholarships through this fund. The goal this year is $55,000. You can make a contribution to Camps for Kids and write Heartland Presbyterian Center in the memo line. Send it to Camps for Kids, 1080 Washington, Kansas City, MO 64105.
