When the world sees forgiveness where retaliation is expected, they glimpse the gospel.
Forgiveness doesn’t make sense - until you know the risen Christ.

Growing Pains: When God Stretches His Church explores how seasons of growth—though sometimes uncomfortable—are signs of God’s gracious activity among His people. From overflowing boats and crowded rooms to tired leaders, expanding needs, and uncertain next steps, Scripture shows again and again that growth is never our achievement but God’s gift and invitation. In this series, we’ll discover how abundance calls us to stewardship, how shared ministry strengthens the body, how creative faith opens space for others, and how God equips His people with every gift needed for the mission. Ultimately, we’ll be reminded that the Church moves forward not by our strength or strategy, but by confidence in Christ, our unshakable foundation, who leads us into the future one faithful step at a time. |

Timothy's Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML) will begin collecting disposable diapers of all sizes and donate them to Happy Bottoms in an effort of helping them keep their shelves stocked. This organization, based in Kansas City, partners with social service agencies and hospitals to assure babies and toddlers from low-income families have access to clean diapers for their child's health care and comfort. The collection will run Mother's Day through Father's Day and the congregation is welcome to make a contribution to help these little ones. The diapers may be left in the container available in the lobby. |

Every baptism is a gift—God welcoming a child into His family. One way our congregation celebrates that gift is by giving a Faith Chest: a simple wooden chest that can be used as an altar and to hold a Bible, devotional books, a baptism candle, pictures, and keepsakes that help a child remember, “I am baptized into Christ.” These chests are made with care by members of our church family, and we would love to invite more hands and hearts to help build them. If you enjoy woodworking, there is a place for you in this project. Build: cut, assemble and sand chests. Supply support: donate wood, or gift cards (a Thrivent gift card can be used) to offset costs. Pray: lift each baptized child and family as the chest is made and gifted.

If you’d like to help build (or support) a Faith Chest, please reach out to the church office at 816-228-5300—we’ll connect you with the materials you’ll need. You don’t have to be an expert, just be willing to help. Thank you for helping us provide these beautiful baptismal gifts for our littlest members. |

During the month of May, our donations will be collected in support of Jesus El Buen Lutheran Church, a ministry making a meaningful impact in its community. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together in service and generosity as we help meet the needs of others.
A donation cart will be available in the church lobby with a list of current needs for Jesus El Buen Lutheran Church. Please take a moment to stop by, review the list, and consider how you might help. Every contribution—large or small—makes a difference.
Thank you for your continued faithfulness and willingness to serve. Your generosity truly reflects Christ’s love in action. |
