In April, our Outreach Team will collect items for Asbury UMC. They opened their food pantry at the onset of the COVID pandemic in 2020 and have continued to grow. Over the past few years, hundreds of individuals have been blessed to come to a welcoming space, no questions asked, to choose food that they and their families need. It is no exaggeration to say that it has been a lifeline for the 250+ families they serve each month.

In May, we will support the food pantry at Hillcrest Transitional Housing, which helps families break the cycle of homelessness with housing, education, and support. See the flyer in this week's bulletin for suggested donations. Please leave donated items at the green Outreach table near the Connect & Serve counter by May 25!

The Good Faith Network will host the Nehemiah Action on Tuesday, May 6th, from 6:00-7:30 PM, at Resurrection Church in Leawood (13720 Roe Ave, Leawood, KS 66224), where representatives will address county officials with the work we have done on the issues of Homelessness, Affordable Housing, Eldercare and Mental Health Crisis Care - and the solutions we have discovered in other communities that we truly believe are viable for Johnson County. Atonement's goal is to bring 180 people to the Nehemiah, as together with the other 26 faith communities in the Network seek to welcome over 1,600 people to the sanctuary at Resurrection that evening. Questions? Please email Ros Thorpe or call the church office.
