| | Missouri Missions Highlights Amigos De Cristo
Amigos de Cristo began in April 1998 following a huge influx of Hispanic immigrants after a large Tyson's plant opened in Sedalia, Mo. At that time there were no local churches that offered worship in the Spanish language, and a small group of members of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Sedalia saw a huge mission opportunity. Worship services were held at St. Paul's for the first three years, and in 2000, Christ Lutheran Church (ELCA) offered to sell their small church building to Amigos de Cristo. Eighty-five letters were sent to other LCMS churches, and within five months enough donations were received from individuals, groups, and churches to pay cash for the building, where the congregation has been worshipping ever since.

A luncheon in their honor will be held at noon at the church, 5901 E. 135th St., Grandview. Friends, especially former students, are welcomed to attend. All are also invited to the church service that morning at 10:30 a.m.
Mrs. Cox retired last year from teaching third and fourth grade Sunday school after 60-plus years, although not all at the Grandview church. Mr. Cox has also been involved in the program, especially leading the opening devotions each Sunday for the children.
A freewill offering will be taken at the luncheon to benefit the church's youth program. Thirteen youth and five adults will attend the National Youth Gathering this summer in New Orleans.
