• Annual Congregational Meeting & Constitution Updates postponed to Feb. 1 due to weather.  Our annual congregational meeting is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 1 at 10:40.  During this meeting, we’ll review our ministry of the past year, discuss our vision for 2026, vote on updates to our constitution, elect members to leadership, and vote on a congregational budget.  The meeting is open to anyone, with members who are confirmed, communing, and contributing are eligible to vote. 

  • The agenda, reports, nominations, and business information are available in print in the fellowship hall and for digital download.  

  • Voting members unable to attend in person will be able to join the meeting online via Google Meet.  Online participants will be able to vote and address the meeting if they join us in real time, but proxy voting for those unable to be present during the meeting time is not permitted by our constitution.

• Valentine’s for Vets   Each Valentine’s Day we share our love with local veterans by assembling hygiene kits. Our hope is to assemble 100-150 kits.  These are the items we need, with the number of each item already donated:  toothpaste (49), individually wrapped toothbrush (119), dental floss (21), deodorant (18), bar soap (38), comb (0), Valentines (53), granola/protein bars (36), candies (50), tootsie roll pops (0).  
  You are invited to donate bulk quantities of these items or even completed kits in gallon Ziplock bags. Items can be dropped off in the fellowship hall or shipped directly to the church through February 8.
  After worship on February 8, kids and adults are invited to stay after worship to make valentines and assemble the kits. If you’re not able to join us after worship, you can also drop off purchased (and signed) or handmade Valentine cards.
  The Valentines and kits will be given to the VA in Excelsior Springs to give to clients they know will most appreciate them.  In addition to gratitude for these items to help care for themselves, we’ve been told how very touched the veterans are to receive words of love and appreciation.
