“Who is My Neighbor”

“Who is My Neighbor?” invites children and youth to re-imagine what it means to be neighbors in Christ. Based on the Good Samaritan story, this full, five-day program contains skits, games, crafts, snacks and intentional activities for children to enjoy and learn how our faith calls us out into the world to love and serve our neighbors.

On-Line Registration is available for Students & Volunteers.

Our next important meetings to be aware of:

• Nehemiah Action Assembly (EVERYONE to attend) on Thursday, May 2, 6:30p.m. @ St. Mark’s UMC

The choir will perform ‘Creation: The Architecture of our Faith’ on Sunday, April 21 at 3:00 p.m. at Grace Lutheran Church, 23rd & Washington.

Saturday, April 28, 7:00pm at First Plymouth Congregational Church, 20th & D St. Admission is free. Free will donations accepted.

We are creating a TEAM of leaders to run the livestream and powerpoint, hoping to work people into a rotation. If you are interested in learning to do either the cameras or the powerpoint (they’re not as difficult as they may seem), plan to attend our training on Monday, April 15, at 5:30p.m. in the Sanctuary.

The fundraiser will be April 25th, 2024 at the Scottish Rite Ballroom. There will be a social hour, silent auction, heavy hors d’oeuvres, a short program including inspiring stories of hope, and a live auction. There will also be a new, interactive experience with Matt Talbot staff to learn how their 4 key programs - hunger relief, outreach, housing, and substance use - are moving our community closer to defeating hunger and homelessness. More details to come at mtko.org/events.
