• In As Much Food Pantry Field Trip   The kids will be learning about Jesus feeding 5,000 people this month, so for faith formation after worship on April 26, we will take a field trip to the In As Much Food Pantry that serves the Liberty area and wider Clay County.  Kids and adults are invited to meet up with us at 2050 Plumbers Way in the Freedom House building at 11:00am.  The pantry is located under 5 minutes from Hosanna, just off Church Road across 291. 
  In As Much (www.inasmuchministry.org) serves hundreds of individuals each month.  We’ll learn about the needs in our community, why God calls us to support feeding ministries, learn about how In As Much works, take a tour of their facility, and consider how God calls and empowers us to support our neighbors.  You are invited to bring groceries to share on the day of the field trip.  If you’re not able to join us, you can also leave them in the wagon in the worship entry hall where we’re always collecting items for In As Much.

• In As Much Ministry food items   Food insecurity continues in our area. Would you consider picking up an extra item or two the next time you go to the grocery store? Items currently needed: Sloppy Joe Sauce, Canned Chicken, Kids cereal, Canned mandarin oranges, Pasta sauce, Ketchup, Mustard, Pickles, Sugar and toothpaste. Thank you.

• Central States Synod Conference Gatherings   We are part of something bigger!  As a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), we join congregations throughout Missouri and Kansas doing ministry together as the Central States Synod.  Members of congregations in our conference (our part of the synod) are gathering together for worship, ministry updates, and listening.  Join members of other Lutheran congregations for this event on Saturday, April 25, 10:00-1:00 at Advent Lutheran Church in Olathe, Kansas.  Lunch will be provided, and there is no cost to attend.  Please RSVP at www.css-elca.org/conference-gatherings so that we can be sufficiently prepared.  Anyone is welcome to attend.  Pastor Mike willing to answer questions you might have.
