As Grant said the other day, in a time and culture where divisiveness is more prevalent than unity, it was so encouraging to see the Body of Christ link arms with a common goal of lifting high the name of Jesus! We pray that this continues and that it pours out onto the streets of Topeka for years to come. Who knows, maybe God wants to start a nationwide commitment to unity right here in Shawnee County?

Obviously, our biggest thanks go to God for what He did, but we’d be remiss to not thank all of those who volunteered this weekend as well. To everyone who preached, led worship, brought food, smoked meat, served in the children’s ministry, ran the audio/visual equipment, greeted, made coffee, set up tables, cleaned dishes, helped guests to feel welcome, got up early for rehearsal, and stayed late to clean….“Thank you so much!” We couldn’t have done it without you.

All in all, we can’t wait to see what God does next, and we know you’re eagerly anticipating the next service too. However, don’t wait on us to organize the next fellowship experience. Hopefully you started a friendship or two this weekend that you can start cultivating right away! Make a phone call and put a Royals game on the calendar, get lunch, grab coffee, or maybe do a Bible study together. Yes we eventually want to do something big with Antioch again, but the whole point is that you don’t have to wait until then to continue this relationship. As one of our church members said recently, “Maybe the next step isn’t one big one, but a thousand tiny ones.”
