On-line Worship Service
Join with the Topeka Community of Christ Congregation Sunday Mornings @ 10:45 AM (Central Time Zone) online, for a Worship Service, live streamed over Facebook.  You can join the service live stream ten minutes prior to the beginning of the service.

How do I watch in the Topeka CofChrist On-line Worship Service?  This “Facebook Event” is hosted through the Topeka CofChrist Ministry Facebook Group. If you are not a member of this private group, please request to join this group through your Facebook account.

On Sunday mornings go to the Topeka CofChrist Ministry Facebook Group page.  A few minutes prior to the EVENT, you will see a reminder (bell) icon in the top right hand corner of your Facebook page.  Click on the reminder, then click on “join event” button.  If the reminder icon is not present, go to the EVENTS section (right side of page) of the Facebook group page and select the Event you want to watch. You do not need a special code to access this event.  Please contact Jim Fairchild if you should need assistance connecting with our Topeka CofChrist Ministry Facebook Group.


If you miss the "live stream" of our worship service, you can view the service at a later time on our Topeka CofChrist Ministry Facebook Group page.

Abolish Poverty-End Suffering: Doorstep Topeka
Doorstep News ~ April 2021
It is a little hard to believe that for over a year now we have been in the middle of this pandemic!  We now have volunteers we have not seen for a year or longer!  Our services continue to be over the phone, except for the clothing bank.  We have certainly felt that loss of contact with people here at Doorstep, just as everyone has in their personal and/or work lives.
 
The month of April traditionally brings Doorstep’s Annual Banquet honoring our volunteers, and the quilt drawing.  With COVID still going on, we do not have plans yet for this event.  It won’t be in April, but hopefully later in the year we can gather again and celebrate Doorstep and our volunteers! 
 
Most of our events are “up in the air” at this time as we see how the year goes.  But, you can mark your calendars for Doorstep’s 4th Annual Neighbors Helping Neighbors Walk/5K Run at Lake Shawnee.  The big day is Sunday, October 3rd at 2pm!  Come out and support Doorstep, and get some exercise at the same time!  We made just under $7,500 last year with the pandemic virtual event, and have a goal of $10,000 for our fourth year!  


Doorstep Current Needs:
Hello All, I have been given an updated list on items we currently need, mostly in the clothing room.  Please remember we accept clothing and household donations on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9am – 2pm.
 
Men’s (Walking) Shorts – Size Small
Men’s Underwear – Size Small
Men’s Jeans – Waist Sizes 30 & 32
Plus Size Women’s Shorts
Boys Jeans – Size 11-12
Girls Summer Clothing – Sizes 2-14
Men’s & Women’s Walking/Tennis Shoes – All Sizes
Skillets
 
Food Room Items:  Canned Beans (variety), Canned Fruit (variety), Jelly (any flavor) and Canned Pasta/Spaghetti O’s.  Food donations are accepted Monday – Friday from 9am – 2pm.
 
Thank you,  Lisa Cain
