It is Bible Sunday and we will be giving our 4th graders their very own bible as a gift from the church. Don’t forget to bring your own communion bread and juice with you as we celebrate the sacrament together.
A Special thank to all who attended our ZOOM All Church Conference last Sunday, September 27th. We just wanted to let everyone know that after reviewing all of the ballots, the Simple Board Model was approved and will be implemented for 2021 leadership.

UPDATE!
As the weather is turning to fall we having been looking at ways to allow our small groups to gather indoors. In addition to the numerous zoom meetings and groups, beginning October 11th, we will begin to allow groups of 12 or less gather in the building. This will be done in advance by reservation only through Melissa in the church office. The Building will only be available on certain days and only certain classrooms will be used. Each group will be asked to sign a covenant agreement that they will follow the establish rules and protocals that are in place for their saftey and protection. Please contact Melissa at melissab@heritageumc.org or call the church at 913.897.6446 and leave a message.
