When was the last time you were able to take advantage of intentional space created for you to simply sit and spend time with Jesus? We all need and even crave time with our Savior.

As we retreat together we will be reminded of our first and greatest love by spending time worshiping Him and studying His Word. Guiding us on our journey are five incredibly gifted women who will call us to a deeper relationship with the Lord as we seek Him: Jael Boeschling (Community Covenant, Omaha), Malinda Just (Writer & Speaker, Hillsboro KS), Lexi Lang (Community Covenant, Lenexa), Cheryl Meakins (Spiritual Director & Speaker, Arvada CO), and Patty Thompson (Midwest Conference, Salina KS).

We need some people to help bag up school supplies for SchoolaPalooza in-between worship and Sunday School today. The more people we have, the less time it will take, so please join us in the Old Sanctuary and find Deb or Pastor Stephanie for directions on how to help.

24 Count Colored Pencils (less than $3.50)

Shoebox Need

Please look for erasers and pencil sharpeners for shoe boxes. We are always short on those when packing. It is also a struggle to get shoe boxes for older children.

Please bring those in and we will have some work times to assemble them in the future.
