• 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 to 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.
  As of Feb. 4, we still need these items in these quantities:

- dental floss:  36 needed

- deodorant:  53 needed

- bar soap:  18 needed

- granola/protein bars:  34 needed

We have sufficient quantities of the other items.  Any non-perishable overstock collected this year will be used next year. 
We’ll assemble the kits and handmake valentines after worship on February 8.   

• Join Us for Ash Wednesday on February 18    On Ash Wednesday, we acknowledge our mortality and remember God’s unconditional promise of eternal life and love.  We place ashen crosses on our foreheads--the same place oil was placed on our foreheads at baptism--to remember that God has claimed us as beloved children and redeemed us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Join us February 18:

  • At Noon:  15-minute simple service of prayer with imposition of ashes.

  • At 7:00pm:  45-minute worship service with music, reflection, prayer, and imposition of ashes.

  • By request:  Contact Pastor Mike to drive up for prayer and the imposition of ashes.
