For a more detailed description of what United Methodist believe, please visit the denomination's website United Methodist Beliefs. What are the worship services like? The 9am worship service has a contemporary flair to it, with music led by "The Spirit Singers". Many of the songs are contemporary and the service is multi-media, with song lyrics, words to the prayers, etc. on an overhead screen. This is the service our youth attend before heading to their own Sunday School at 10: 30. Communion is typically offered the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. The 10: 30am worship service is more traditional. We usually sing hymns from the United Methodist Hymnal and use printed bulletins that have the order of worship in them. This is a family-oriented service, with a special "Children's Moment" early enough in the service so children can go to 10: 30 Sunday School if they want, or to the Nursery. Communion is typically offered the 1st Sunday of each month. The summer Park service is very informal. Bring a lawn chair, dress casually, and enjoy live music by the Park Singers in this nature-filled service. You are invited to head to church after this to enjoy Sunday School at 9 or 10: 30am.

First Lutheran came to life in 1870 when about two dozen Swedish Lutherans met on a Sunday afternoon in Kansas City to establish the First Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Congregation. Since then, the congregation has worshiped in four different sanctuaries, had two dozen pastors, assistant pastors and vice pastors and uncountable members and visitors, all from different backgrounds. Our current location in Mission Hills has been our home since 1957. First Lutheran Church is one of the 11, 000 congregations in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ( ELCA ). Our congregation is part of the Central States Synod, which consists of approximately 220 congregations across Kansas and Missouri. We rejoice that our paths have crossed in our journeys of faith.
