The Christian Education Committee has set aside money to support attendance at Heartland Presbytery camp (HPC) for our church family members. HPC offers day camps for grades K–8 and overnight camps for grades 2–12. To request aid, send each child’s name, current grade-level, and which type of camp (day, overnight) to office@fpc-lvks.org or call the office at (913) 682-6891. Camp info at https://www.heartlandcamps.org/. Day camps are one week sessions that start June 1st with the last week starting Aug 10th. Overnight camps can have different themes for different weeks (examples: culinary, unplugged, ‘amazing race’) and run weekly from Jun 7 – Aug 7. The deadline for funds requests is March 15th.

Starting the first Sunday after Ash Wednesday (February 22) at 9 a.m. in the Living Room, we will be reading together From Wilderness to Glory by N. T. Wright, a devotional for Lent and Easter. Join us as we study, discern, and lean deeply into what makes us, as Christians, Easter People. For book order and more information, please see Pastor Tim Gray.

You are invited to join us for Holy Week, starting on Sunday, March 29 with our Organ Meditations for Holy Week program at 2:30 p.m. Then, join us on April 2 at 7:00 p.m. for Maundy Thursday as we share a meal, remembering Christ’s command to love one another. Next, we will hold a candlelight tenebrae service for a time of confession on Good Friday, April 3 at 7:00 p.m. Finally, as we remember God’s persistent love, we’d love for you to join us for our Easter Vigil and Celebration service on Saturday, April 4, also at 7:00 p.m. Of course, we also invite you to join us for Easter worship on April 5 at 10:30 a.m.

On January 1, 2026, First Presbyterian turned 170 years old. We plan to have four Sunday services in the year emphasizing one of the verbs located on the Sunday bulletin and the Leaven (GROW, NURTURE, SERVE, LOVE), looking at past events and current events. There will be an expanded illustrated bulletin for each event. Keep an eye out on all our communication channels for when those are going to happen.
