In Acts 3:1–16, we see the healing power of Jesus restoring a broken life. Through His name, Christ brings more than physical healing—He restores dignity, belonging, and community. This sacred space reveals a Savior who meets people in their need and draws them back into life together.
First Reading: Acts 3:1-16 Gospel Reading: Luke 5: 17-26 |

If you would like a copy of the synopsis, or if you have questions and would like to discuss the convention, its proceedings, or its outcomes in greater detail, please feel free to reach out. I would be glad to continue the conversation with individuals or even a group of you and share additional insights. More convention resources are available at: https://www.lcms.org/convention/national.” Pastor Ryan Hochgrebe. |

Whenever the fifth Thursdays of each year roll around, the staff at One City Café, an arm of the Bishop Sullivan Center at 39th & Troost in downtown KC, smiles because that is Timothy’s “day” to serve a free hot meal in the dining hall and then a sack lunch with those needing financial assistance and the love of Christ. Hannah, the current leader of OCC, said. “We love Timothy!” last Thursday when Timothy volunteers walked in with a smile to not only serve food and drinks but also visit with the community and listen to their stories. Thanks to Charlie and Pat Bock, Timothy’s One City Café organizers, for keeping alive this opportunity to serve. Each opportunity requires 10-12 people to assist the OCC staff. Anyone interested in supporting this ministry may contact the Bocks at chbock1@gmail.com. The next Timothy date is Oct. 29th. Volunteers report at 2:30 and serve from approx. 3-5 pm. To God Be the Glory! |

The school supplies collected through Timothy's recent donation drive were delivered this morning to the Blue Springs Community Services League. The generosity of our church family will help equip local students with the tools they need for a successful school year.
As the supplies were being delivered, the Community Services League was bustling with activity. Volunteers and community members were dropping off food, school supplies, and other donations. The building was full of people eager to help, and there was a spirit of joy and generosity throughout the facility. It was inspiring to witness so many individuals working together to make a difference in the lives of others.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to this effort. Your donations are a tangible expression of God's love and care for our community. Because of your kindness, local families will receive much-needed support as they prepare for the upcoming school year. A special thank you to all who donated, prayed, and supported this ministry opportunity. Your generosity continues to impact lives and strengthen our community.
Thank you for all that you do to help serve our neighbors and share Christ's love in practical ways. |

Divorce can be one of the most challenging experiences a person faces, and no one should have to walk through it alone. Our Divorce Care ministry is committed to offering understanding, encouragement, and practical guidance to individuals navigating this difficult season. To continue providing this vital support, we are inviting volunteers to join our team as group facilitators. You do not need to be divorced to serve in this role. What matters most is a caring heart, a willingness to listen, and a desire to help others heal and rebuild. Facilitators help create a safe, welcoming environment where participants can share their experiences, learn helpful tools, and find hope for the future. If you have a passion for supporting others, or if you simply feel called to make a meaningful difference, we would love to have you consider volunteering. Your presence could be the encouragement someone needs to take their next step toward healing. If you’re interested or would like more information, please reach out to Sandy Gregory (816-228-5300 ext. 8042) Your compassion can change someone’s life. |

Join us for Oasis on September 9 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Auditorium for an evening of dinner, activities, fellowship, and time spent in God's Word.
Our September theme is "God Calls Us", based on 1 Samuel 3:1-14. In this Scripture, we hear the story of young Samuel, who was confused when God called him three times. Samuel did not yet recognize God's voice or understand the message God was giving him. Like Samuel, we can sometimes wonder if God is speaking to us or what He wants us to hear.
The good news is that we can be confident that God has called us. Through Holy Baptism, God has claimed us as His own children. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, He continues to guide, strengthen, and speak through His Word and through our lives.
Come and explore this important message with us as we gather for faith, fun, and fellowship. We look forward to seeing you there! 😊 |
