Rev. Hamilton is going to Washington. What will that mean for his church?

Rev. Hamilton is going to Washington. But how often will he come back? Kansans have reasons to wonder, having just booted Sen. Roger Marshall from office Tuesday, in part because of how absent he seemed from the state he represented. Few believed Marshall was rushing back on weekends to the one-bedroom hunting shack he kept in rural Stafford County. His million-dollar vacation home in Sarasota, Florida, seemed a more likely destination when he wasn’t in Washington. Even if Senator-elect Adam Hamilton, who defeated Marshall, wanted to spend his free time on a white-sand Florida beach, he has a practical reason to come home. He has a church to run — and not just any church, but the largest United Methodist congregation in the country, the Leawood-based Church of the Resurrection, with 25,000 members. And he intends to keep running it, at least part-time. Resurrection laid out Hamilton’s plans in a detailed announcement Wednesday. In the short term, Hamilton will attend Senate orientation in Washington, then take a previously planned two-week vacation with his wife, LaVon. He’ll return to the pulpit Nov. 29 and continue leading services through Christmas. “I can hardly wait to return to a regular preaching schedule for

9 minutes of panic — Gardner Edgerton district apologizes for lockdown alert that sparked intruder fears at high school

Nine minutes — that’s how long Gardner Edgerton High School students and staff spent fearing for their safety Wednesday morning. A lockdown was initiated that morning in response to a medical emergency, though the cause was initially believed by many students, staff and parents to be an intruder.

Fast-food chain has closed two Johnson County restaurants. More remain open

Arby’s has shut down two of its restaurants in Johnson County, leaving a suburb with just one location remaining. Two Arby’s restaurants in Olathe have closed: 13790 S. Black Bob Road and 18615 W. 151st St. Signs direct customers to the remaining Olathe spot: 18060 W. 119th St. Arby’s has yanked the addresses of both closed locations from its website. The Star contacted Arby’s parent company, Inspire Brands, for comment. The company did not respond Wednesday. Flynn Group, a popular franchisee with dozens of Kansas locations, also did not respond. There does not appear to be any other affected locations. Managers at several different Johnson County locations said they had not been alerted of a closure. About 14 Arby’s locations remain in the metro. Spots in Johnson County include: 15021 Metcalf Ave. in Overland Park, 9525 Santa Fe Drive in Overland Park and 11445 W. 63rd St. in Shawnee. No national closings have been reported this month, but late last year, Arby’s quietly closed dozens of locations after sales dropped by more than 6%, according to reporting from TheStreet. Arby’s has been serving roast-beef sandwiches, curly fries and shakes since its inception in 1964.

Firm ‘boundaries' and security upgrades: What's next for Adam Hamilton's church?

After reflecting on daylight saving time, All Saints’ Day and a church coat drive, the Rev. Adam Hamilton turned in his Oct. 30 weekly newsletter to the fact that he was about to stand for election to the U.S. Senate. “I’ve been able to pursue a path that I felt personally and spiritually compelled to pursue, and I’ve been able to share about my faith and our church’s ministry across Kansas and around our nation,” Hamilton wrote in the message to his congregation. The day after Hamilton defeated incumbent Roger Marshall to become the first Kansas Democrat elected to the Senate since the Great Depression, Church of the Resurrection published a post-election FAQ explaining what will and won’t change between the senior pastor and the more than 24,000 active members of the church he founded in 1990. “While congregants may hold differing opinions about the political outcome, we know that Adam will lead with integrity and wisdom in the Senate chambers,” the church release said. It notes that Hamilton will stay on as senior pastor but that his employment status will “shift from full-time to quarter-time.” Hamilton is expected to preach an estimated 12 to 18 weekends per year, including
