The Women’s Missionary Union (WMU) was formed in 1888 as an auxiliary of the Southern Baptist Convention for the purpose of religious evangelism. WMU meets once a month from 10:30am-11:30am for meeting/snack in the fellowship hall. See Judy Bunton for more information.
The Food Pantry Ministry is an ongoing project. You may bring any boxes or canned food items as well as toilet paper, laundry soap, etc. Put your items in the box in the foyer. Financial donations for the food pantry are also welcomed. Everything is appreciated. REMEMBER: If anyone in the church has a need, contact the Church office @ 279-9216 or Leesa Kerns (816) 273-7346
collecting items to go into the shoe boxes for 2024. The drop off box is located inside the front entry way. 
Matthew 9:37-38 – Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
Well, another summer has come and has gone and now we enter into another season called “FALL” and with that comes change in the weather and beautiful fall color in reference to the leaves on the trees. Believe it or not change is good even though a lot of us are not in favor of it.
As we prepare to go into the last half of 2024 there are several opportunities, as a church, that we have to connect with each other as well as with our community. The first opportunity to connect with our community will be on October 4th and 5th with our church garage sale.
This will be our final garage so we will want to connect with those who come by inviting them to our other church events coming up in the month of October, as well as invite them to our Sunday morning worship service.
And then, we have an opportunity to connect with each other as we celebrate Pastor Appreciation on Sunday October 13th at Bartlett Park. We will have Sunday morning worship service at 10:45am followed by our Pastor Appreciation picnic with soup and chill and all the fixings. I’m so blessed to have a church family that loves and supports Leesa and me so much. We can’t put into words what you all mean to us.
And then let us not forget that we have a great opportunity to once again reach our community on October 31st. This will be our annual Truck-R-Treat from 5pm to 7pm and this will be held inside the C.L.C. (gym) again this year. This will give us the opportunity to fellowship and connect with our community. We will have tables decorated and set up so that we can pass out candy and other gospel
literature.
Plus, we will have hot dogs and refreshments available for everyone to enjoy. Looking forward to this time so that we can fellowship and building a relationship with each other and our community. And while the world may and will celebrate this day as a day of darkness, we choose to shine the light of Jesus on our community. Let us reach the harvest field for Christ.
Calling All Harvest workers – Report for duty,
Pastor James
