CURRENT EVENTS & IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL: Thank you to everyone who made VBS possible this year! We had around 200 kids and volunteers join us for the week. We learned that we can proclaim God’s greatness and magnify Him as we see Him in the world around us. Our mission project was collecting Happy Kit supplies for Children’s Mercy Hospital.

THANK YOU to all who served during Lee’s Summit’s Downtown Days and handed out water bottles in our parking lot, giving folks from the community a positive experience of Christ and the church. The cold water and hospitality were very much appreciated by all who benefited from it.

COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITY: It's time once again to clean up our section of Todd George Parkway between Colbern and Strothers Roads at 8:00 AM on Saturday, June 14. You can park your cars at the Lee's Summit Bible Church (1200 NE Colbern Road). Trash bags will be provided but bring work gloves. Let's continue to be good stewards of the earth and our community.

“SUMMER OF LOVE” SERVICE PROJECTS: 
This summer moves to a different beat — and love is taking the lead. “Summer of Love” is a groovy, church-wide adventure — fueled by worship, mission, and Jesus' love: the kind of love that shows up for others. Each Sunday starting June 15, we’ll explore a different expression of that love: loving God, loving people, making disciples, helping one another, enjoying one another, and treating one another with grace.
But it’s not just about listening — it’s about living it out. We’re inviting every Community Group to spread love across Lee’s Summit and beyond. Serve lunch to teens at Pro Deo. Sort food at Harvesters. Pack care kits for families at Ronald McDonald House. Host a block party. Clean up a park. Or create your own way to show up with love. Connect with your Community Group leader to decide how your group will get involved and watch for more ways to spread the love as an individual or family.
At FBCLS, we believe love leads to action. So let’s make this summer more than sunshine and sandals. Let’s make it a summer of love.

PLAYLISTS: To help you interact with God all week long, we've created playlists packed with songs that inspire, uplift, and connect to our sermon series and worship themes. Visit fbcls.info/playlists to find links to all our playlists on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Dive in, sing along, and let these powerful tracks fuel your worship every day!
