Just a reminder to yesterday's post. No facebook today. Still dealing with camera connecting to streaming software issues. Hopefully a tech will be out this week to fix.

05/23/2026

We have tried getting the camera working with our software to stream. We have been unsuccessful. Hopefully we will get a tech out this coming week to get us up and running. No facebook once again this week.

Camera is not working today to put the service on facebook. Hopefully we will be back up and running next Sunday.

News from the Parsonage:

Neighborhood inspector stopped by to check out the parsonage’s bird house.

(No birds were harmed in the making of this post.)

Also, we put up our hummingbird feeder and have already gotten visitors.

It is starting to feel like home!❤️❤️❤️

Are you available to help this Saturday?

Sycamore, KS needs us. Our ERTS team will be on the ground this Saturday helping with tornado clean‑up, and we’re calling on volunteers to step in alongside us.

If you’re a 9–12 grader or an adult 18+, we could really use help — especially from anyone with chainsaws, rakes, tractors, or wheelbarrows.

Every set of hands matters. Contact Hollie if you can be there: [email protected]

We are so proud to have one of our very own serving as a Board Member of the Kansas Methodist Foundation! Thank you for all the ways you serve God and the church!

We’re excited to welcome Dennis Depew to the Kansas Methodist Foundation Board!

Born and raised in Neodesha, Dennis brings more than four decades of legal experience, including 32 years as managing partner of his family’s law firm. In 2015, he was asked to serve as head of the Civil Litigation Division in the Kansas Attorney General’s office and now leads the southeast Kansas office of Kansas Legal Services, providing critical support to low-income Kansans.

With a deep commitment to his community, Dennis has been actively involved in a number of nonprofits, serving on the boards of several mission-driven foundations. He has also helped lead and establish local foundations and scholarship programs that have opened doors for generations of Neodesha students.

An active member of a small-town United Methodist church and a strong advocate for rural communities, Dennis is especially passionate about supporting small churches and understands the challenges they face now and in the future.

Rev. Dr. Dustin Petz, KMF President and CEO, shared that Dennis’ background in nonprofits and endowments — along with his roots in southeast Kansas — brings a thoughtful and well-rounded perspective to the board.

“Dennis has a strong understanding of the legal side of stewarding donor-restricted gifts, shaped by his work with the Kansas Attorney General’s Office,” Dustin said. “He knows our ministry well and has deep connections across southeast Kansas. I’m honored to have him join the board and help strengthen the Foundation’s impact for years to come.”
