FW: CUP Approved!

Holy Martyr Eustathios and his family

Dear Faithful of Saints Peter and Paul, 

The blessing of the Holy Trinity be upon you!

 

CUP Approved!

Glory to God! Last night at the city of Topeka Council meeting, the City Council voted 7-0 to approve our conditional use permit (CUP).  This means we have permission from the city to develop our property as we have proposed in our site plan which includes our fellowship Hall, Church Temple, an educational building, an additional building for future use and Holy Myrrh Bearers cemetery.  We have 3 years to break ground using this CUP before having to reapply. May God bless our efforts!

It was 2 years ago today on the feast of St. Eustathios that we signed the paperwork to purchase our property. 

 

Upcoming Baptisms

Sunday September 24th 1 pm,  Louie Wright, Nathanel, Anthony & Aaron Lea
