As recently as a few weeks ago, it looked as if Medicaid expansion was a dead issue. But that has changed in recent days. In part, because of remarks made this week by Governor Sam Brownback. Jim McLean of the KHI News Service has more.
New Hope for Proponents of Medicaid Expansion in Kansas
Description: The Immanuel Choir will be joined by professional soloists, instrumentalists and other guests to present Bach's Cantata 23, Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn (Thou True God and David's Son), as a part of the evening vespers service. This is a unique opportunity to hear works by J.S. Bach presented in worship, the context for which they were written and intended to be performed. We welcome all people to join us for this unique worship experience. This service also marks the beginning of a revival of Immanuel Lutheran's Bach Cantata Vespers Series after a break of several years. The next Bach Cantata Vespers will be on Sunday, April 26th at 7:00 p.m. with Cantata 150, Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich (O Lord, I long for thee.) There is no fee to attend, but a free will offering will be taken to help support the Bach Cantata Vespers Series. Submitted by: Connie Benolkin Immanuel Lutheran Church Kansas City, MO
Description: Bone Hill: The Concert is an interdisciplinary musical theatre work created by Martha Redbone and Aaron Whitby that brings to light an important piece of American history that’s never been told. Inspired by the lives of Redbone’s family in the hills of coal-mining Appalachia, their story is shared through songs spanning a swath of American music—from traditional Cherokee chants and lullabies to bluegrass, blues, country, gospel, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll and R&B. As a multiracial Cherokee/Shawnee and African American family, this is the story of their connection to the land, the simplicity and sacredness of that connection and the ruptures that threaten to extinguish it. Redbone, an award-winning and charismatic musician, is one of today’s most vital voices in American roots music. This engagement is part of KU’s ongoing Indigenous Cultures Festival.
