Kansas City Local Announcements
June 10 , 2017
SABBATH LOCATION DURING THE SUMMER:
For Kansas City brethren and visitors who did not attend Sabbath services last week, as well as those viewing services via our Webcast, regular Sabbath services will continue thru the summer to be where we are today, the Glendale Elementary School, 2611 S. Lee’s Summit Road, Independence, Missouri, with services starting at 1:00 PM. We can enter the building at 12:00 noon, but must be completely out of the building BEFORE 4:30 PM.
Parking is to be only in the large lot at the north side of the school, allowing us to proceed into the school’s north entrance. Please avoid parking in the two spaces either side of the north walkway as these spaces are needed for the sound & video crew who will be unloading equipment. Please do NOT park in the circular drive at the front (west) main entrance of the school, nor try to use the main entrance doors.
CHAIR PICKUP AFTER SERVICES:
A reminder that about 45 minutes after services (3:45 PM), pickup of all folding chairs will begin by volunteers. With this in mind, brethren need to have removed their belongings from the chairs & floor so as not to impede prompt chair pickup. Also, by 4:15, brethren need to begin leaving the building so that all brethren are out of the building by 4:25 to allow the school custodian to begin his cleaning work.
CHILDREN’S BIBLE LESSON CLASS:
Next Sabbath, June 17th, the Children’s Bible Lesson Class will meet after services to go over Lesson 8.
BIBLE STUDY:
Bible Study will be Wednesday, June 21st, beginning at 7:30 PM, at the same location as the previous Bible Studies, the Best Western Plus Hotel, 4825 NE Lakewood Way, in Lees Summit, located between Lakewood Blvd and Woods Chapel Road on the East side of 291, directly behind the Summit Grill & Bar. Please attend if at all possible!
ANNUAL CHURCH PICNIC AND COOK-OFF:
Our annual Church picnic is Sunday, June 25th, at the same location as for the past several years, Baumgardner Park (main shelter house at NE corner of the park). The park’s official address is 2401 NW Ashton Drive, Blue Springs, MO, but the shelter house is about a block north of this address. On the Information Table is a map of the picnic location. Please plan to arrive at about 11:00 AM to allow for setup, organizing food dishes, and fellowship, before having a picnic lunch at about 12:00 noon. Don’t forget to bring lawn chairs, sunglasses, and sunscreen; and please pray for favorable weather!
MENU:
Iced tea, lemonade, Gatorade, water, cups, plates, plastic-ware, and napkins will be furnished. Each family is asked to bring their favorite picnic food to share, such as a meat dish, vegetable or fruit salad, and desert, enough for your family and one or two other persons. Singles are asked to bring chips and soft drinks or fruit drinks (but no beer).
Young and old are invited to bring their special dessert treats and enter the baking contest. NEW THIS YEAR – A smoked meat cook-off contest. It turns out there are several smoker Gurus. Who will turn out on top?
GAMES & SPORTS:
Games & sports will be available, such as volleyball, kickball, softball, tennis, horseshoes and possibly gaga ball. There is also a wonderful playground on-site for the smaller children.
END-OF-DAY:
We will need to have the shelter house itself clean and vacated by 4:00 PM to allow for the possibility of another group’s booking of the shelter house. Those who would like to stay after 4:00 PM are welcome to continue games and fellowship in the surrounding park (but not in the shelter house).
QUESTIONS:
Please direct questions you may have to Doug and Faith Burson.
