TRUMPETS & ATONEMENT LOCATION:

Services for both Trumpets and Atonement will be held at the Adams Mark Hotel, 9103 E. 39th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64133.  The hotel is located on the north side of I-70 diagonally across from Royals Stadium.  We will be meeting in the large conference room at the far end of the hall straight down from the main entrance.

 

TRUMPETS SERVICES:

Trumpets is on Monday, October 3rd, and there will be two services with a 2-hour lunch-break in between.  The first service will begin at 10:30 AM, during which an offering will be taken up.  The second service will begin at 2:30 PM.  We have reserved the large conference room from 9:30 AM through 5:30 PM.

 

TRUMPETS LUNCH OPTIONS:

On Trumpets, for those wishing to purchase their lunch at the hotel during the break between services, the hotel is offering a luncheon buffet at the hotel restaurant, beginning at 12:30 PM.  The cost of the buffet is $12 per adult, ages 12 years and older.  For children ages 3 thru 11 years old, the cost is $6. No charge for children under 3 years of age.  Payment to the restaurant may be by credit card or cash, and will be paid as you enter the restaurant.  The buffet will be a Fiesta/Taco Bar consisting of:

– Choice of Seasoned Ground Beef or Shredded Southwest Chicken.

– Soft and Hard Tortilla Shells.

– Toppings:  Lettuce, Tomato, Cheddar Cheese, Sour Cream and Salsa.

– Spanish Rice.

– Iced Tea and Water.

For those wishing to bring their own lunch, the hotel has approved anyone wishing to do so, as long as it is eaten only inside the large conference room where we will be meeting, but not in the hallway.  However, the hotel is not providing temporary set up of lunch tables in the conference room.

For those wishing to have lunch at nearby restaurants, there are a number of sit-down restaurants and fast-food restaurants in the area.

 

ATONEMENT SERVICE:

The Atonement service will be on Wednesday, October 12th, and there will only be ONE service beginning at 1:00 PM, during which an offering will be taken up.  Doors to the conference room will be open at 12:00 Noon.  The Day of Atonement is a 24-hour fast (no food or water) beginning at sunset the evening of the 11th, and ending at sunset on the 12th.  For obvious reasons, there will be no lunch or luncheon that day.

 

HOLY DAY OFFERING ENVELOPES:

For Trumpets and Atonement, as well as the two Holy Days during the Feast, please use the green, pre-coded Holy Day Offering envelopes sent to you from HQ.  Using these envelopes greatly speeds up the counting and receipting process at HQ, which saves valuable time and dollars.  If you have not received pre-coded envelopes, please contact HQ via email at records@lcg.org or by phone (704) 844-1970, and they will be happy to send you a set for the upcoming Holy Days.
