1883 - 2011
Word came this week that the only church I've ever given my heart to will be closing its doors on June 19.
Hubby and I haven't attended the church for the past year and half -- a new minister, a new church direction, a congregation that no longer spoke to our spiritual needs caused us . . . and clearly many others . . . to leave.
Since 1883 this church has dutifully and prayerfully served that northeast section of Kansas City. The last two years of its life, the United Methodist ministry stole the heart from it -- but that can only happen if the congregants allow it to happen.
Two years ago my heart would have been breaking. Today I'm just sad that one more piece of Kansas City history has fallen away.

That is a shame, for sure.
That's a gorgeous church!! How sad. I remember you writing about leaving the church--a difficult, but necessary decision.
