Migrant Farmworker Assistance Fund serves and empowers Missouri’s migrant and seasonal farmworkers. Join a group of PWC volunteers in Lexington, MO as we distribute food, clothing, blankets, and other supplies to migrant farmworkers on Monday, September 9th from 3pm-8:30pm. (space is very limited so e-mail bmolina@plattewoodschurch.org to reserve your spot)
Anyone interested in joining a team that enjoys company while they knit or crochet. The goal is to provide shawls that have been prayed over as they are created that can then be distributed to new babies, wedding couples, and anyone going through a challenging time. Beginners welcome!
All women are invited to join the Women’s Bible Study as they explore and discuss Untangle Your Emotions by Jennie Allen. This study uses scientific research, biblical insight, and personal stories to help you learn to notice, name, and process your emotions in healthy ways.
If you enjoy quilting, or just want to learn how, please join our current quilting group. Each blanket is lovingly and prayerfully prepared to be shared with graduating youth, new infants, nursing home residents, and others going through trials. We’ve even sent some to Pine Ridge for their cold winters! Along with piecing together the quilts, we enjoy the laughter and fellowship of the group experience.
For those who enjoy crocheting or knitting, and those just learning how, please join us on Monday evenings at 6:30 for the evening edition of Threads of Faith. We put together prayer shawls for infants, wedding couples, and anyone going through challenging seasons. We pray for each other and the shawls we create. Beginners are welcome!
Traveling the journey of grief was never meant to be a journey we walked through alone. Our Care Ministry provides a weekly support group for anyone seeking to heal after a loss. Our leaders have training and personal experience with loss.
This is a hybrid class that meets in-person and online. Please contact Vicki Krehbiel at vkrehbiel@plattewoodschurch.org for the Zoom link.
The Chosen TV series is back for a third season and Platte Woods Church is excited to host watch parties once again on Wednesday evenings from 6-7:45 p.m. beginning Sept. 11.

Saturday Go Serve Opportunities
Saturday Go Serve is a time to focus on how we can begin (or continue) a spiritual rhythm of going in acts of mercy and justice and pilgrimage through serving with our ministry partners. PWC has traditionally set aside the 2nd Saturday of each month to serve in the community.
Hillcrest Clearance Outlet: Hillcrest Platte County offers supportive services for individuals and families who are homeless or insecurely housed to achieve sustainable independence. The thrift stores exist to help pay the bills for those who participate in the Hillcrest Transitional Housing programs. By volunteering at the clearance outlet, you are helping support their programs and providing a hand up to those working to transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Volunteers in the Clearance Outlet help sort and organize donations and clean the store. This opportunity is most appropriate for ages 8 and up. Volunteers 15 and under should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Lazarus Table/Boutique: Every weekend Lazarus Ministries serves around 100 hot meals through their meal program known as Lazarus Table. They have kitchen staff that cook and clean dishes and utilize volunteer teams of 10-12 people each day to set up, prep, and serve meals restaurant style and clean up afterward. This is an opportunity of fellowship and serving those facing poverty or homelessness in the urban core of Kansas City. This opportunity is for all ages and abilities. Volunteers 15 and under should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Northland Community Clean-up: This is a grassroots non-profit organization that is led by PWC member, Nancy Gorton. This group of volunteers work to improve the cleanliness, beauty, and safety of our community through on-going litter clean-up efforts. PWC partners with them every 2nd Saturday in various locations throughout the Northland. Most clean-up events take place along busy roads/highways. This opportunity is open to ages 14 and up with parent/guardian participation unless noted on the sign-up.
Sleep In Heavenly Peace Bed Build:
Volunteers – under the guidance of SHP chapter team members – will build bunks in an assembly line setup. There will be stations for sawing, sanding, drilling, assembling, staining, and branding the wood. What starts out as a pile of lumber will become a usable bunk bed for children in our community.
Registration is required and all participants over age 10 are welcome but minors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. We are also collecting pillows and bedding in support of this project. These donations can be dropped off in the donation bins in the Gathering Space on Sundays before or after worship.
If you have questions or concerns about specific volunteer locations, please contact Brandi Molina, Director of Missions.
Register for your project below! Volunteers meet at their respective serve location on Saturday morning.
All volunteers currently serving on the Care Ministry Team or interested in serving on the Care Team are invited to join us for our Annual Training. You will get to meet Pastor Cassie O’Brien! And we will share our vision for creating a Culture of Care at PWC. Please join us and share in this meaningful ministry.
Have you always wanted to go on a mission trip? Are you interested in learning more about our partners and work in Guatemala? Join our trip leaders and past participants for a Lunch and Learn on Sunday, September 15 from 12-1:00pm. While you enjoy lunch, we will share information about our April 5-12, 2025 trip to help you discern if you’d like to go on a pilgrimage. We will share stories, answer questions, and provide all the details about the trip.
All are invited to “Meet the Pastors”. Whether you’re brand-new to the church, or simply want an opportunity to get to know our pastors better, you’ll find fun conversation and snacks! During a typical event, you’ll have the chance to:
- Learn more about the church’s mission, vision and congregation
- Ask questions

Southeast Star Friends is a program in partnership with Southeast Elementary School. Star Friends connects caring adult volunteers with students at the school to serve as positive adult role models and friends to selected students in need of additional support.
Students are invited to be paired with a Star Friend volunteer for thirty minutes to an hour each week during the school day. We work with the school social worker to carefully match the interests and unique needs of the student with the experience and skills of the Star Friends volunteer.
The program’s goal is to build a positive relationship between a student and a caring adult role model through meaningful and authentic interactions. The program stives to build student resiliency and empowers students to be successful in and outside of the academic world.
If you are interested in learning more, please sign up to attend an interest meeting scheduled for Wednesday, September 18 from 6-7:30pm at Platte Woods Church.

Platte Woods Justice Ministry Team (JMT) is working toward a world where inclusion, diversity and the well-being of all people are not just dreams, but realities!
We are motivated by the words of Micah 6:8, which call us “… to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God,” and are further spurred to action by the words of John Wesley, “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”
The Justice Ministry Team is currently exploring the topics of human sexuality, race relations and community organizing.
Please contact bmolina@plattewoodschurch.org if you are interested in learning more about the Justice Ministry Team or if you are planning to attend a meeting for the first time.
Every fourth Sunday we celebrate baptisms and new members in our church. These steps in faith occur at our 9:30 and 11:00 am worship services.
For information about joining the church or baptisms of yourself or a family member, contact our Welcome and Connections Coordinator Michael melliott@plattewoodschurch.org.
