Outreach-Service to Others

 
     
Serving In The Community
The Community Outreach Committee administers benevolence giving for the congregation as well as directing the total outreach work of the church. A Christmas Eve Offering is received each year in support of a local charity. Additional service opportunities include Men At Work; Thanksgiving Baskets; an outreach to elementary school children; and providing monthly meals at Shalom House, a Kansas City, KS homeless shelter.

School Backpack Drive - Get the #2 Lead Out!

60 backpacks and lots of other assorted school supplies, plus funds to be used for future needs were delivered to the Kaw Valley Center in Olathe.  Kaw Valley places children in foster homes when the need arises. These backpacks were distributed to the children so they were able to start the school year with all the supplies they will need to succeed in school!

Food Baskets!

Rolling Hills began collecting food baskets each holiday season in 1983. Over 3,100 baskets but more importantly, 3100 families have been helped through this outreach to our community! 

The Johnson County Division on Aging assists us as we distribute baskets to families on public assistance and older adults who receive help through the Meals on Wheels program in Johnson County.

2007 Easter Offering - Purchase of a van for the Arts in Prison program

The Arts in Prison program (AiP) has been selected for the Rolling Hills 2007 Easter Offering. The offering will go toward purchasing a van needed to transport supplies, artwork and volunteers.
AiP is a nonprofit organization that provides educational and personal growth opportunities for prisoner inmates through the arts. The program consists of the East Hill Singers (who gave a performance at Rolling Hills in January), visual arts, and other fine arts opportunities for inmates at Lansing State Prison in Kansas. Sculpture, painting, drawing and writing are some of the classes AiP offers.
The East Hill Singers perform four concerts outside the prison yearly and several concerts within the prison walls. AiP art is on display at all concerts and at galleries throughout Kansas City.
