• Sunday Faith Formation After Worship Continues
  We gather every week after worship to grow in faith together following this pattern: 

  • Two consecutive weeks of Sunday School by age group...
    Kid’s Crew (Preschool-5th grades) gather all together for music and interactive lessons to go deeper in faith.
    Confirmation Catechism (6th-8th+ grades) explore who God is, how to think theologically, and what difference God makes in their lives.
    The God Squad (high school) looks for God’s presence in their daily lives and unpacks a new topic each week that directly impacts them.
    Adults (any age) engage in multi-session life-application topic series throughout the year.  The year will begin with Pastor Mike, discussing how Lutherans authentically share their faith.

  • One week of all ages service and learning...

  • Repeat!

Due to holidays and congregation events, the schedule may not always follows the 2+1 rotation, so always check the Happenings to see what’s coming up:

• Oct. 4 - All Ages Service Project:  Brickworks
  Help us sort donated Lego bricks for a local non-profit to provide complete kits to kids

• Oct. 11 - Age-Group Sunday School

• Oct. 18 - Age-Group Sunday School

• Oct. 25 - All Ages Hands-on Learning Project

• Join us This Sunday for BrickWorks Service Project
  For this Sunday’s service project, we’ll be breaking apart and sorting donated Legos.  BrickWorks is a partnership between Hollis Renewal Center and The Giving Brick, a Kansas City non-profit that collects used Lego bricks, repackages sets, and gives them to children served by Jackson County Court Appointed Special Advocates.  CASA recruits, trains, and supports volunteers to advocate for the interests of children in the Jackson County Family Court system who have experienced abuse or neglect until they have a safe and permanent home. 

• Living Room Conversation Sermon SeriesSome of the deepest, most meaningful conversations we have happen as we sit and talk in our living rooms, over a meal, in the car, and other private settings.  Through Nov. 1, we’re bringing the living room into the worship space.  Pastor Mike has invited 8 people to join him in unscripted, informal conversation during worship in place of the traditional sermon.  This week we look forward to conversation with Hosanna! member Barb Chapman.  Barb is a retired ELCA pastor who is celebrating her 50th anniversary of ordination this year.

• We Recognize All Saints on November 1
  Trusting that God’s love endures forever, we observe All Saints Day to acknowledge our grief over loved ones who have died in the past year, proclaim our sure hope in God’s triumph over death, and entrust our loved ones and ourselves into God’s care.  We invite you to submit the names of family and friends who have died since November 2, 2025 so that we might include them in the Litany of the Saints on Nov. 1 this year.  You may add their name and relation to you on the sheet in the fellowship hall or online at https://hosannaliberty.breezechms.com/form/saints26.
