Love is an action. When God calls people to love, God doesn’t call people to just think about it or have meetings about it. Instead, Love Does.

We created a new Love Does Team that is organized around these beliefs.

  • Love Does - More action, less planning.
  • Love as relationally as possible - When possible, learn names, hear stories, and continue relationships.
  • Love the way they need - Be responsive to need and always recognize their God given dignity.
  • Love is whimsical - Surprise people with the extra mile and a brighter smile.

We would love to have you be part of God’s plan to extend Love throughout the world. Email Pastor Bailey bamtower@greatplainsumc.org to join the fun.

Monthly Collection

Each month is dedicated to bringing items for the local food pantries. God cares about our bodies so we help provide nourishment. Upcoming for July is Gleaning the Harvest on July 10th. We will meet early at the church to learn where we will go. August 5th we will be serving with KC DreamCenter distributing food at their monthly collection. September 9th will be serving at the Hub. And as always each 3rd Saturday of the month we serve at Shawnee Community Services from 11am-2pm. Come and join us anytime!

The Hub in Kansas City, Kansas - Argentine District

LifeBridge has begun helping with The Hub. This ministry helps the population in the Argentine area who mostly speak English as a second language. There is a food market, clothing closet, after school ministries, summer camps, and a free shower. Part of the church and the community is a population of Congolese immigrants who have brought vibrant worship back into this space. This hub celebrates the gifts of the community and how we are all connect. We serve here 4 times a year and regularly donate items for their food market. Check out https://www.thehubargentine.org/ for more information.

Some Past Activities

LifeBridge has given to the Special Olympics, KVC Foster Care, Operation Christmas Child, Shawnee Community Services as well as delivering Valentine’s Day Cards to a local nursing home. LifeBridge has collected tickets and spending money for local families in need to attend Royals Games so they can be part of the fun, too. We list these to give you some ideas for ways you can put love into action, and we are always open to new ideas! Join us for a Serve Saturday in the city once a month or at Shawnee Community Services every 3rd Saturday from 11am-2pm.
