Since the beginning of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) our purpose has been to bring healing and hope to a divided world.
The Week of Reconciliation Special Offering which we receive Sept. 25 and Oct. 2 helps fund ministries in Kansas and throughout the United States and Canada that feed the hungry and heal divisions in the lives of people.
This year, we have received funding requests for $9318 from:
- Home Sweet Home homeless ministry in Independence
- Books for Prisoners program sponsored by Wichita’s North Heights Christian Church DWF
- Birthday Backpack Ministry out of Pine Valley Christian Church in Wichita
- Peace Camp sponsored by West Side Christian Church in Topeka
Our goal for this special offering is to receive $25,000 to help fund these ministries which are making a positive difference in hundreds of lives in Kansas. We encourage all members of our congregations in Kansas to give generously. Be watching the regional Facebook Page, Web page, and the Sept. Kansas Messenger for more details about each of these ministries.
