A Note from Ryan
Church Family,
What a month it has been!
As I look back over the past month, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for all that God has done in and through our church family.
Because of your generosity and willingness to serve, we raised more than $2,500 through our garage sale to support Apache Elementary School. We gathered with our neighbors for our third Community Movie Night, found some relief from the summer heat at Water Wednesday, partnered with Habitat for Humanity to help build a home, and watched the men of our church enjoy an evening of fellowship bowling.
Week after week, we've opened God's Word together through our Verses to Live By: Truth for the Road Ahead summer series, and many of you have been faithfully memorizing a new verse of scripture each week. Even more exciting, we celebrated a baptism—a beautiful reminder that God is still changing lives.
And He isn't finished yet.
This Sunday, we'll have the privilege of celebrating another baptism as someone from our church family publicly declares their faith in Jesus Christ. There are few moments more joyful in the life of a church, and I hope you'll join us as we celebrate what God is continuing to do among us.
Thank you for making The Light KC more than a place we attend—thank you for making it a family where people are loved, served, and pointed to Jesus. It is truly a joy to serve alongside each of you.
As always, my door is open. If you'd ever like to talk, pray together, or simply catch up, I'd love to connect.
Feel free to call me, send me an email at Ryan.Hanson@TheLightKC.org, or stop by the church.
I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday at 10:00 a.m. as we continue our series, Verses to Live By: Truth for the Road Ahead.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Ryan Hanson

Re-Watch Sunday's Message
Message 8 in the sermon series "Verses to Live By: Truth for the Road Ahead" by Ryan Hanson titled "What God Does: God Sacrifices and Saves"
77% of all prisoners in the United States will commit another crime and end up back in prison with 5 years of being released. It is hard to image after living without any freedom that once you get a taste of what freedom is, you wouldn't do anything to keep it. Yet 77% of people make choices that lead back to prison and a loss of those freedoms. But this is not just a story of criminals. We all sin. We all create for ourselves and voluntarily move into prisons of our own making. We all face spiritual opposition trying to take our freedom and pull us back into a life held captive to sin. But, we serve a God that wants to SAVE us. Who SACRIFICES everything so that we can be free of the chains that bind and free to live eternally with Him. Today we're going to take a look at our God who SACRIFICES and SAVES.
