​9. Finding Hope through Praying for the City
Noon-12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8
National World War I Memorial, 2 Memorial Drive, Kansas City, Mo. 64108
The Psalmist calls upon God’s people to “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem” so that all who live in her walls will find peace and security (Psalm 122). We’ll join to pray for Kansas City as we stand looking out over the city from the WWI memorial site. We will pray and sing that our city will be a place of hope. The prayer service will last 30 minutes. There is no seating. All ages welcome. Parking is free in and around the memorial site but persons need to walk to the memorial and the overlook.
 
Led by Rev. Tom Are, Jr., senior pastor, Will Breytspraak, director of music, and Dr. Rodger Nishioka, senior associate.

9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, with a break for lunch
Uplift, 1516 Prospect Ave, Kansas City, Mo. 64127
Since 1990, the Uplift ministry has been bringing hope to homeless persons throughout the Kansas City area by
providing warm meals and clothing. Every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday night, Uplift food trucks fan out across the metro offering kindness and care through providing food, clothing and other basic resources. Donations come to the Uplift warehouse where they are sorted and prepared for loading on the trucks. You will join with others to sort clothes and other donated supplies and prepare the trucks for their nightly journeys. Adults only. Dress is casual.  Be ready to sort donated clothing and supplies in an unheated/air-conditioned space.
 
Led by Rev. Len Carrell, associate pastor for pastoral care.

​12. Finding Hope through Recreation and Re-creation
3-5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 18
Roe Park, 107th and Roe Ave., Overland Park 66207
As a people of faith, we are constantly being re-created into God’s holy community. Sometimes this re-creation comes through recreation and play. As the culminating activity for “The Places Hope Takes You” sermon series, we will gather together at Roe Park (107th and Roe) for a friendly kickball game and a cookout. We will share stories about the places we found hope in the last month and enjoy a game of kickball between Village on Mission and Village on Antioch members. Then we will share in a cookout together using one of the picnic shelters. Bring your folding chairs. All ages are welcome. Persons will need to park and walk to the picnic shelter. If you are not a kickball player, come cheer for the teams.
 
Led by Rev. Hallie Hottle, Village on Antioch bridge site pastor and associate for young adult ministry and Dr. Rodger Nishioka, senior associate and director of adult educational ministry.

​Finding Hope through Seeing Hope: A Visual Art Installation in the Village Church Welcome Center
Hope is both a present-tense reality and a future-tense conviction. During this sermon series, we will display images of the places we find hope and the places that need hope -- but this installation needs you. Send pictures of your hopeful places (interpreted however you understand them) to jenny.mcdevitt@villagepres.org. Photos will be added throughout the series, but the sooner you send them, the sooner we will "see hope" together.
