Thank you for Your Support
Thank you all for making this year’s Rummage Sale such a meaningful and successful event. It was truly a team effort, and it showed in every detail. Many of you donated items, others spent hours sorting and organizing, and many came out to shop and support. Each role mattered, and together you made a real impact. Because of your generosity and hard work, every dollar raised will go directly toward helping our students attend SWO Summer Camp. I’m excited to share that we raised $9,968.00 that is a new record! That’s an incredible milestone and a testimony to the way this church family comes together to invest in the next generation. We give thanks to God for His provision and for each one of you. Your willingness to serve and give is making a lasting difference in the lives of our students, and we’re grateful to be part of what He is doing in our student ministry.
2026 Gashland Summer Socials
This summer at Gashland EPC it is our heart to provide you with a number of ways in which you can connect with your church family in intentional community through Summer Socials! Summer Socials are themed social groups in which you can connect and have fun together. Each group consists around 6-10 people. These groups will meet 1-2 times a month in June, July and August. Sign up using the button below. The due date to sign up is Sunday, May 24th!
Book Worms: Like reading? Join this group and decide on three books you would like to read and discuss over the summer. As a group, you can decide whether you tackle fiction, non-fiction, Christian, or the classics!
GoGo Games: Are you always wanting to play board games or cards? This is the perfect group for you! It could be a night of Catch Phrase, Apples to Apples, Rummicube or even Bridge. Your group will be able to decide the games you play together!
Exploring Eateries: Don’t love to cook but love to eat? Love to find the newest spots around town to sample? Join this group as they explore fun and interesting eateries in the Kansas City area!
Barista Bound: Love coffee? The smell, the taste, the ambience. Join together with fellow coffee lovers and dabble in coffee tastings, or explore the various coffeehouses around Kansas City.
Nature Lovers: Feeling cooped up? Need fresh air? This social group will tackle the out doors! Enjoy bike riding, finding a new park to explore, planning a picnic, going for a hike or visiting the botanical gardens! This is for everyone who wants to get out, be active and explore nature.
BBQ Bonanza: This group will be devoted to finding the best BBQ spots around town or in their own backyard. Kansas City has a lot to offer and everyone has their favorite spot. Go explore near and far with each other or dabble on the home grill together.
Pie on the Patio: Love enjoying the summer breeze on the patio? Connect with people on a patio or deck for some dessert and conversation!
Golf Enthusiasts: Do you love to hit the links? Join a friendly group of golfers this summer and work on your swing. We will play 9-holes at several different courses throughout the Northland this summer. All skill levels welcome!
Pizza Pursuits: Che pizza! Since the pizza party can’t start without the pizza, join in the fun with others and come explore the pizzerias Kansas City has to offer. Buon appetito!
Big Kid Fun: This group will plan free or low-cost active outings that cater to the big kids who are too young for the youth group. Parks, swimming, fishing… who knows! The target age is upper elementary and other kids who like to hang out with this age. Siblings of any age are welcome to join in on the fun! (Parents need to be present!)
Film Fanatics: If you have a love of film and movies, come along with this group as they watch and discuss in house movies or venture to a theatre! This will challenge your ability to find redemptive themes in the film industry.
