Engage Wichita

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will crush your head, and you will bruise His heel.

Genesis 3:15

Sept 16, 2023 | 8:00-Noon

Volunteers are asked to meet at Holy Cross at 8am for a grab and go breakfast and service site info. 
We will then go out to our service sites.  All projects are expected to be done by Noon.

 

We are equipped and empowered by God to go out and engage with the world around us.  We can think of no better way to “go and do likewise” (Luke 2:10) than to head out into the community and serve our neighbors.  During our upcoming church/school-wide day of service, Engage Wichita, we will work on diverse service projects at sites all across Wichita.  We hope to use this opportunity to get a little outside our comfort zones, be a blessing to our community, get to know new people, and use our hands and our hearts to reflect our Savior, Jesus.

To make this happen we need volunteers!!  Please use the form below to volunteer.  This helps us plan work sites and food/shirt orders.  Also, be sure to check out the details about service locations and let us know if you’d like to volunteer for a specific project site.

Our Care Portal team will be hosting a bed build to put together more bed kids for children entering the foster care system.

Supplies will be provided and there will be projects for people of all ages.  This is an “until it’s finised” project at Holy Cross, but volunteers may choose to work as much as their schedule allows.

If you would like to work on projects that can be done sitting down we will be making fleece tie blankets to be donated to Ascension Via Christi Hospital’s Forensic Nursing Unit. The blankets are gifted to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child/elder abuse, and human trafficking.
