Once they are readily available you should find fresh for sale at the farmers market. It’s a bit early in the season to be finding them around here just yet. Needs to warm up some. You can find them dried at the grocery stores.

Fair warning: only morels harvested on private property can be sold.

How so? Can you prove your point?

Cherry street Baptist church.

I feel the same about James river. People don’t see it, especially those who attend, but simply having Bill Johnson as a guest speaker should open the eyes of anyone who cares about doctrinal adherence to the faith.

Avoid AtHome’s apartment buildings unless you want bedbugs

Otherwise is depends on your budget! I’ve been renting from Roza for 3 years with little to no issues and they leave you alone unless you request maintenance

I sometimes see little baggies of dried morel mushrooms on sale at HyVee, but not all the time... I've never seen fresh morels being sold though... maybe at a farmer's market? No idea, if I were the one picking them I would NOT give them away hahahah no matter how much I'm offered :P

I’m currently going to True North Baptist, a tiny church plant it’s only around 10ish people at the moment but the pastor is AMAZING, I feel welcome there and if I miss a service etc or I’m not going to a bible study I did mention I was going to, they are positive and encouraging and tell me “hope you can make it next time” instead of making me feel guilty etc.

Dm me if you want to know more.

Sadly there are a lot of fakes out there, and it makes it hard for people to believe.

As many people have mentioned in this thread James River is a mega church, it is so big people think that represents all of christianity. There are many different "interpretations" as people like to say... But Jesus only taught one way, and it really wasn't complicated as other people like to believe.

True christians would be known by the love they have amongst themselves. If you don't see real love in practice, they can claim to be, but it does not make them christian.

Our family attends Westminster Presbyterian Church. It is in Portland in Springfield. It is socially justice minded. It is spiritual and allows me to listen to the teachings of Jesus. Service starts at 10:30. We also live stream.

If they’re already going to a church it’s already too late. Don’t drink the kool aide.

This church does NOTHING to help the homeless. N O T H I N G. But - they put a car on their alter to give it away to a member.

christianity is fake and i was raised christian

Their policy on helping the homeless is non-existent

That is completely ignorant and false.

Sorry, but you can't say Christianity is fake because you were raised Catholic... Contrary to popular belief they are not the same thing.

Do not rent from Turnkey Properties

I wouldn’t consider James River a church, so much as I would consider it a ponzi scheme

“It’s all fake.” You sound like me when I was a kid growing up in catholic school. Once those realizations come they won’t really go away, because it is all fake. You’ll start to see more and more evidence of how it’s all fake. It’s all a fairy tale. I’m now in my 30s with a great family and living a successful, moral and ethical life as an atheist. Yeah, you don’t need to believe in any god to believe morality. Treating people with kindness and respect, not stealing, and not killing people. But what happens after you die? Same thing that happens to every dog, squirrel, fish, bird, etc. There is no god, heaven, hell, afterlife. It’s all made up.

You may be falling out of faith but given your age you won’t be able to do anything about it until later.

My wife and I searched for months for a church where we felt called to and comfortable with. We never did try James River though because of the size. We prefer smaller, close knit churches. We finally found No Fences Cowboy Church in Nixa. We are in the process of looking for a new home though and currently meeting in the Pastors house in Highlandville. We only have about 15 regular attendees a week but we all love worshipping and learning more about Jesus together.

For those recommending The Venues or Brentwood, those are awesome churches, but there is no way OP’s parents will be up for that. And OP may not even feel comfortable there themselves. My suggestion, as a mom who used to be conservative Christian, it was very important to me to find a church that helped my kids spiritually and where they felt like they could make friends. If you talk to them honestly, outside of the situation, maybe at dinner one night, and just tell them the things that make it hard for you and what type of church you might like better and that might help you grow, I have a feeling they’d be open to listening. How long have you guys been going there? That might also play into their decision. Either way, if my child were telling me they were really unhappy at a church, I would be open to trying somewhere else bc it was so important to me to find a place that was a good fit for all of us. Hugs to you!
