Our annual Mission Trip fundraising Car Wash is Sunday, June 4, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm at Grace. If you wish to support our mission trip through a donation, just park where you would normally park, then drop your car keys off at the car wash table by the coffee bar. We will get your car, wash it, and re-park it where it was so that it is ready for you after you leave worship or Sunday school.
All funds go to help cover expenses for this year’s IGNITE Mission trip to Chicago, Illinois. We can accept cash, check, or credit cards.
This year we partner with Experience Mission and Sunshine Gospel Ministries (through the BridgeBuilders program) for an experiential service-learning opportunity. This trip seeks to connect people from different backgrounds to promote a shared understanding of the challenges facing inner-city communities. We learn through practical service opportunities, engage in conversations surrounding poverty, and participate in activities like a poverty simulation.
This trip moves us towards a deeper understanding of poverty and brings an awareness of the issues surrounding those living in the inner city. We can then use this understanding in dealing with Wichita’s own inner-city challenges.
Many of us on the outside hear and see mostly negative portrayals of the inner city, especially Chicago, which contribute to unhelpful labeling and misguided interactions. Experience Mission and Sunshine Gospel Ministries hope to reveal the giftedness of the community through healthy, meaningful experiences that combine service, learning, and active engagement.
