Homeless Ministry ~ Our congregation is represented on the Community Council for Homeless Advocacy (CCHA). We also work with Advocates to End Chronic Homelessness (AECH), as well as other groups currently meeting to address various needs of the estimated 700 people who are homeless on any given night in Wichita. We have joined local homeless advocacy groups to host annual “sleep-outs” on our property for the purpose of raising awareness of the homeless population. Every winter since 1991 we have cooperated with other downtown churches in providing an overflow shelter during the months of December through February, when the traditional shelters are at capacity.
Sunday evening, August 30, we co-sponsored an ice cream social for the homeless with AECH. Several RiverWalk members served ice cream and a wide variety of toppings to our neighbors. Thanks to Jared for his oversight of the preparations. Thanks to all who helped serve in a variety of ways.
