Special Updates Our connection to World Impact is Susie Krehbiel, who grew up in this congregation and whom you help support through your Mission dollars each year. On March 21, the quarterly Special Offering will be received which is used for ALL of the FPC Mission partners. Thirty years of serving = One Fun Party! POSTPONED due to the weather! Watch here for rescheduled date. A new GriefShare group began February 8, 2010. Click logo for details. Check out what's new in the Church Library! Invitation to sign petition on PCUSA paying for abortions The PCUSA medical benefits plan has no limits on paying for abortions, and churches are required to provide this particular medical plan for their pastors.  In anticipation of overtures calling the 2010 General Assembly to direct removal of elective abortion coverage from the medical plan, a petition is available on which Presbyterians can express their support for this change.  If you wish to sign, the petition is available on the Missional board in Fellowship Hall and also on the church website.  Feel free to copy and invite others to sign.  Petitions with signatures may be given to Di Lupton or Christy Ingalls, or sent to Presbyterians Pro-Life as shown on petition.  Questions?  Contact Di or Christy. We now have a Facebook group -- check it out! www.facebook.com.  In Facebook, search groups for "First Presbyterian Church of Olathe" Church Email Prayer "Chain" -- if you are a church member and would like to pray for needs of our church family as they arise, notify Pastor Elise at the church (782-0140) or by email, ehawke@sbcglobal.net.  You will be placed on the email list to be sent prayer needs.  (It's not actually a "chain" since you would not be passing the info on to anyone else).  If you have a prayer need and would like to have others in the church pray for you, contact Elise to discuss sending out the prayer request.  Prayer requests will NOT be placed on the church website. Stay updated on church news through email -- the office maintains a church email list (of members and regular visitors) to send notices and updates of interest to the congregation.  If you want to receive these emails, contact the office with your name and email address.  And remember to notify the church office if you change your email address. Church office hours -- keep in mind that the church office is closed on the weekend.  If you need to get info to someone for Sunday, contact the office by Friday afternoon.  Phone messages/emails left during the weekend are not received until Monday.
