Fall Family Fun Activities Starting Oct. 5 at Rinehart Christian Church
Rinehart Christian Church Annual Corn Maze is part of a FREE fall festival event for the public.
The surrounding community is invited to come out for an afternoon of fall fun and fellowship on three Saturdays: October 5, October 12 and October 19 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to the church located at 9443 S. 900 Rd. Richards, MO 64778, about 14 miles from Fort Scott.
Family activities include a petting zoo on October 5, horse rides on October 12, and hatchet throwing on October 19.
Besides the corn maze, activities include hay rides, corn pits, pumpkin painting, fire pits, lawn games, duck races, concessions, photo booths, cow train, grain wagon basketball hoops, and inflatables.
“The reason for the corn maze is to give area people a fun day for the family and to let them know Rinehart is a church that cares about them,” said Pastor Kevin Moyer.
“This is the 5th year for us to have the maze,” he said. ” It grows each year in numbers, and people come and stay for hours. It really is a family event, and people can’t get over the fact that it’s free. Even the lunch is free! It’s our gift to the community. Our people volunteer their time for three Saturdays in October.”
‘If you look at the maze from high above you’ll see the full design, the Lion of Judah,” he said.
The Lion of Judah is mentioned in the scripture Revelation 5:5.
Rinehart Christian Church’s mission is to love God, live like Jesus, and lift others up, he said.

Catholic Church Rebuild Is Nearing Completion: Fundraiser On Sept. 13
The Mary Queen of Angels Catholic Church, 714 S. Eddy, is nearing completion after the catastrophic fire that destroyed the old building two years ago.
Fire at Fort Scott’s Catholic Church Causes Extensive Damage
They are currently working on the intricate painting inside the dome of the church, Mark McCoy, of the Parish Building Committee, said.
Through these two years the congregation has been holding Mass in the Kennedy Gym, “beginning the first day after the fire on August 29, 2022,” said Calvin Joe Barr, a long-term church member.
A contractor was hired, the Simpson Construction Company of Wichita, to rebuild the building and it will look like the old historic building that was built in 1864.
The original artifacts that were saved are being restored, with financial help still needed for this project by the professional restorer.
And the church parish has been fundraising.
The Knights of Columbus are having another fundraiser this Friday, Sept. 13 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Kennedy Gym, located behind the church at 704 S. Holbrook.
It will be a spaghetti and meatballs dinner with salad, garlic bread, dessert and drink. (Spaghetti with sauce only available)
The meal is a freewill offering, with to-go meals at $8 minimum.
Everyone is welcome, Barr said.
All the proceeds go to the church building fund.
On Saturday, November 24, 2024, the new church building will be dedicated by the Bishop Carl Kemme of Wichita.
“It’s sure to be packed with past priests, the Bishop, and church parishioners and their families,” said McCoy.
The parish priest rectory has been completed as well, and Father Yancey Burgess moved in at the end of June, Barr said.

Family Life Assembly of God Church is partnering with Convoy of Hope in Springfield, Missouri to distribute non-perishable food to the community.
The distribution will be at Fort Scott Middle School on Saturday, August 17 starting at 10 a.m.

Eichenberger, 26, is the new pastor at Family Life Assembly of God Church in Fort Scott, since October 1, 2023 .
Eichenberger said ” I believe Jesus has called me to care for people.”
For Eichenberger, the best thing about being a pastor is “Seeing God move in people’s hearts and lives.”
This church is a satellite of FamilyLife Assembly of God (FLAG), Pittsburg, Kansas.
“We meet on Sunday mornings at 10 am in Fort Scott Middle School-1105 E 12th Street,” he said.

Great Jungle Journey Family Camp Inaugural Week
Submitted by Melanie Lamb
Last week at The Great Jungle Journey Family Church Camp, great things were happening as the kids drew near to Jesus and grew in the excitement of who God is.
Set in the hidden paradise beside the water at the cabin and land Ralph Carlson generously offered for the church camp, seventeen kids plus adults dug into the Bible, learned about the awesome power of God, experienced Jesus’s love in His sacrifice for them, and grew in worship and prayer together.
Laughter and friendship permeated the week as we hiked, kayaked, did skits, crafts, and games, and went on treasure hunts for memory verses.
The kids expressed excitement over earning their own Bibles and prizes, acting in the skits, filling their memory verse notebooks, and worship time.
It was good to see kids excited to read their Bibles and a group of them asked if they can volunteer next year. Camren has already begun making plans for next year’s theme and said, “Church camp was my favorite part of the summer!”
We want to thank everyone who gave their time, money, resources, and talents to make this summer’s church camp so sweet and most of all we want to thank God for His gift of forgiveness and freedom and life.
