MASK UPDATE AND INCREASED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
We continue with our three goals: keep people safe, protect the vulnerable and create community. We know that all members of the congregation are not yet eligible for the vaccine and that many have underlying health concerns. In addition, we are monitoring the surge related to the Omicron variant. Beginning Christmas Eve and this Sunday, all onsite staff will wear KN95 masks and take a rapid test prior to worship. In addition, all staff in the office will test weekly. Thank you for your continued efforts to keep the most vulnerable among our church community safe. Please wear a mask to the church for all services and events.

Meet Naseer Al Zuhairi, who was forced to flee his home in 2005 and now lives in Kansas City. He tells his story HERE...
|
|
Imagine that suddenly your life is turned upside down. You need to leave your home, family and friends. You are transported to another country and temporarily housed in a crowded camp, then sent to a strange city where you don’t speak or understand the language.This is the situation for many of today’s refugees.
Della Lamb Community Services, our partner in the northeast area of Kansas City is receiving and resettling these refugees, a big task requiring significant resources. Our area is expected to resettle hundreds of families. Each needs a place to live, furniture and household supplies, language and cultural training, and help finding a job. They are families arriving with almost nothing.
This year, our offering team has designated Della Lamb and their work in resettling refugees as the recipient of our Christmas Offering.
Hebrews 13:2 reads: “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” And the Bible often admonishes us to help the strangers in our land, often including them with orphans and widows, those who lacked community or family support.
Many of the refugees are here because they supported young Americans when they were strangers in these very refugees’ native lands. They now need our support as strangers in our land.
Please give what you can to the Christmas Offering by:
-
clicking HERE and choosing Christmas Offering from the drop down menu
- sending or delivering your check, marked Christmas Offering, to church
- texting the word ‘Christmas’ to 816-484-3399
