MERCY STREET
Mercy Street will meet this Saturday, September 14th at 5:30pm at Lakeland Community Church in Lee’s Summit. We meet upstairs in the youth room. During the month of September we are focusing on Step 12:
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
As always you do not have to be “on” step 12 to attend the meeting. No matter what step you are on, you may take what you need and leave the rest. Everyone is welcome.

Mercy Street will meet this Saturday, April 20th (tomorrow!) at 5:30pm at Lakeland Community Church in Lee’s Summit. Childcare will be provided.
During the month of April we are focusing on Step Seven:
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. – 1 John 1:9
At first glance this step might seem too easy or silly. Why would we need God’s help to remove our shortcomings? Can’t we just throw them off ourselves? We don’t even want them anyway. Turns out its not as easy as you think. Come to Mercy Street this weekend to find out more.
