We are not speaking of everyone, of course, but

many such people live in the apartment

complex just behind our church building. We

spoke of the need to engage these people with

the Gospel recently at a Family Meeting. This is

not a proposal to make these families and

individuals our project. We must avoid that

approach altogether. Instead we need to

approach them as people to get to know, to

befriend, to serve and ultimately to love. If we

do this authentically, at the pace of Jesus, He

will do great things and surely the Kingdom of

God will find space to break out in many lives.

Our job is to be present and obedient to Jesus,

going at His pace and joining Him in the work

He is already doing in their lives.

Volume 11, Issue 6 As Jesus was going on down the road, he saw a tax

collector, Matthew, sitting at a tax collection

booth. “Come and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him, and

Matthew jumped up and went along with him. Later, as

Jesus and his disciples were eating dinner at Matthew’s

house, there were many notorious swindlers there as guests!

The Pharisees were indignant. “Why does your teacher

associate with men like that?” “Because people who are

well don’t need a doctor! It’s the sick people who do!” was

Jesus’ reply. Matthew 9:9-12

Of course Jesus knows there are no truly “well”

people. He was pointing to the fact that those

who are hurting the most, who suffer from lack

of privilege or under the weight of need or

loneliness or broken spirits, are the ones who are

most aware of their need. I am more convinced

than ever that these are the people who need to

see and hear the Gospel first and foremost. Not

that we would neglect sharing this Great News

with anyone willing to listen, but those most

likely to listen will be the Matthews of our world

– the people who are not in the mainstream of

middle class life. They will be the people who

most struggle to maintain healthy relationships,

pay the bills and who find joy and peace and

hope to be elusive at best.

LifeFest LifeFest LifeFest LifeFest Tanglewood MinistryTanglewood MinistryTanglewood MinistryTanglewood Ministry The LifeFest Team invites our church

family to join us at 2:45 p.m. on the

first and third Sundays of the month to

fellowship with the residents of the

Tanglewood nursing home. Please join

us for a time of sharing the Gospel,

singing hymns, and having genuine

fellowship with the residents. If you

have any questions, please contact Bill

Watts (273-5772), Sonja Dunstan (220-

3233) or Cyndi Hockenberger (608-

9590).

We are joining our friends from Lone Rock

Baptist Church in Arkansas on mission

again this year. The team is going back to

Bright Life Farms outside of Princeton,

Kentucky, June 11-17.

http://www.brightlifefarms.org. They will

be doing some construction and VBS for

the residents of the Farm.

Bright Life Farms, Inc. is a faith-based non-

profit group home for mentally or

developmentally challenged adults, 18 years

and older, who can do a lot of things, just

should never live alone. While Bright Life is

state licensed, it is not state supported,

which makes it a visible testimony to God’s

power to provide and gives Him the honor

for these homes.

Please pray for those going.

To all my Covenant Friends,

I would like to thank all of you who prayed

for me and Harley following my car acci-

dent. Harley (my puppy) somehow got out

of his harness and ran across four lanes of

the interstate. He was lost for 3 1/2 days. A

special thanks to all who searched and found

him. Eight pounds of white fur apparently

didn’t interest the coyotes! Two miracles in

three days!

To God be the Glory!

Topeka ShareFest 2017 was a success thanks to

all wo volunteered!

ShareFest is an event that was created with the

belief that churches and organizations can do

more together that any one group could do

separately to reach out to its community. This

year we served USD 501, The Topeka Rescue

Mission, and Boys and Girls Club of Topeka

by landscaping, painting, constructing, and

cleaning up the grounds of area schools and

buildings.

Our church assignment this year was at

McEachron Elementary, located very near the

Church at SW 29th Terr. and SW Indian Trail.

Projects included landscaping, painting,

constructing and cleaning up the grounds.

We would like to thank everyone who helped

especially Randy Gregg, event coordinator.

We are collecting tubes of toothpaste (any brand, full size) as an ongoing mission project. These will go in hygiene bags to be handed out at New Hope Food Pantry. While any size of toothpaste and type of hygiene item will be accepted, our focus is full-sized toothpaste. Other churches are focusing on one item as well, in order to cover all their needs. These may be left in the church office any time you are at the church.

New Hope averages 50-60 new families every month and is feeding over 3,500 people each month - almost 52,000 people in 2016! The toothpaste that CBC donates joins with donations of shampoo, toothbrushes, razors, feminine products and more to make up hygiene bags which are also handed out at New Hope. Thank you for your generosity!

Flint Hills Serve Day Flint Hills Serve Day Flint Hills Serve Day Flint Hills Serve Day June 24, 2017 in June 24, 2017 in June 24, 2017 in June 24, 2017 in Topeka Topeka Topeka Topeka Acts 1:8 reminds us that we are to be

witnesses to the ends of the earth. Serve Days

are one-day mission opportunities for groups

or individuals with desire and commitment to

serve and reach others for Christ. The

purpose is to saturate a community with the

love of Christ.

We have previously served La Harpe,

Lyndon, Atchison and Madison. This year we

will be serving in East Topeka with True

Light Baptist Church and a Hispanic church

plant in the same neighborhood.

Please register soon! We are trying to get a handle on the number of participants to plan on. Making work groups and preparing meals is difficult without early registrant numbers.

Some tasks to be done that day include: Home Repair/Construction, Yard Work, Smoke Detector Install Team, Hair Cutting Team, Kids Activities (Balloons, Bounce Houses, & Face Painting), Meal Prep, Prayer Walking/Evangelism, Child Care, Food Distribution.

Please register by going to the website http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/0tPzN43apA5v85hcjke7

Thanks for your help in making this ministry happen!

I want to invite you to be a part of

putting together a team of people

who will lead this effort to engage

people and meet needs. If you feel a

particular urgency, a compelling

interest or sense your giftedness

would be helpful in our stepping

forward into the lives of our

neighbors, please contact me by

phone or email (listed below) and we

will set up a time to meet and begin

prayerfully planning our first steps.

I am very confident God is in this

just as He has shown Himself present

and active in our ministry at McClure

Elementary and Tanglewood nursing

home. I look forward to seeing how

this unfolds with you!

Blessings,

Casey

Dr. Tom Morgan, Professor of Music

Everyone welcome! Invite family and friends.

Fun! Food! Fellowship!

Covenant Baptist Church, ~ 5440 SW 37th Street ~ 785-273-2811

Professor Tom Morgan is director of percussion studies at Washburn

University where he teaches applied percussion and directs the Washburn

University Percussion Ensemble. As a performer, Tom is very active in

the Topeka and Kansas City areas, performing and recording with

numerous groups, including the Trilogy Big Band, a 17-piece jazz

ensemble with two CDs on the Sea Breeze Jazz recording label.

In 2016, Tom had the privilege of performing with The I.H.S (In His Service) World

Orchestra, a 17-piece jazz big band made up of musicians from the United States,

Canada, Switzerland, England, Norway, Sweden and Israel. This band has performed all

over the world, including most countries of Europe, Israel, Africa, and Cuba. Last

December they traveled to Vietnam and performed in and around three major cities:

Hanoi, Da Nang, and Saigon. They performed in the only church that is allowed to meet

legally. The orchestra also played in coffee shops, outdoor venues, a Christian

Businessman’s meeting, a hospital, the home of the former Miss Vietnam, and even in

an underwear factory! They were able to share the Gospel with many who had never

heard the good news about Jesus. God worked in amazing ways during the trip and

Tom is excited to share with you pictures and stories of his trip.

Bring a dessert to share and stay after the program.

We gather to celebrate life and encourage ministry through fellowship,

entertainment and informational opportunities.

Page 7: 5440 SW 37th Street Topeka, Kansas 66614 Connections...2017/06/01  · ShareFest is an event that was created with the belief that churches and organizations can do more together that

that is need for five 1.5 hour sessions.

There are promotion instructions, snack

ideas, folders filled with children’s and

preschool Bible studies, activities for crafts

and music, recreation cards, music CDs and

more.

When: This is up to you! You may pick a

week and do five days in a row or pick a

month and do one day a week for five

weeks. The time of day is up to you too.

You may pick a morning, afternoon or

evening.

Where: Host children in your yard, on your

deck or your neighborhood park. If you are

not up to hosting, talk to Sarah Feather to

see where you may join with those who are.

Why: Seven out of 10 kids will walk away

from church after they turn 18. Statistics

like this remind us that only the Gospel

satisfies our innermost longings, and only

the gospel will transform our kids' hearts

and lives.

If there is any hope in reversing the

statistics, we must lead our ministries with

Gospel-centered teaching, transformation,

and mission that will point kids to Jesus.

We must provide the one thing that will

satisfy them and keep them connected to

church—the Gospel. Taken from

LifeWay.com Kids Ministry 101.

Training: Training is mandatory and just

about one hour long. Please RSVP to Sarah

Feather to get the location.

How: Please contact Sarah Feather to see

where you can help.

something new and exciting. We are

taking a traditional church event and

bringing it to neighborhoods across the

city. Instead of the traditional vacation

Bible school from years gone by, we are

doing Backyard Bible Clubs.

Who: We are asking people to host a

backyard Bible club in their

neighborhood. Not up to hosting? How

about assisting someone else host who

just needs a helper. What about making

snacks and dropping them off? You could

even prepare craft kits ahead of time. We

even need people to come sit and visit

with parents as they hang out while their

children have fun! How about partnering

with CBC folks in your neighborhood or

in your G2 group?

What: The curriculum, Galactic

Starveyors, is from LifeWay and the
