Day 1, May 13—Women’s Build with Habitat for Humanity of Kansas City in the historic Lykins neighborhood.

05/06/2026

It’s May and so much is going on in your lives (we know!) and in the life of Village Church. We wanted to take time to share gratitude for those of you who helped with, or attended, the Celebration of Faithful Women and tell you about the funds we raised, next season’s Horizons Bible Study, and so many other uplifting things. Take a moment to read the new issue of the PW Messenger. May you run your races with perseverance!

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. (Hebrews 12:1-2).
