Social Action

Our church conducts many on-going and ad hoc social action projects. Here are a few:

Service is Our Prayer

Organized by the Religious Education Council, Service is Our Prayer, organizes multigenerational activities throughout the year. Projects have included "Pack a Sack" Sunday where families pack sack lunches to be distributed to the homeless, stocking days at Harvesters Food Bank, collecting "Pennies for Peace," and gathering school supplies for girls' schools in Afghanistan.

SMUUCh Contact: Lauri Gerstenecker.

Heart of American Indian Center

Projects to benefit those in need within the Native American community. Each year we collect donations throughout the month of November to benefit the Indian Center which is the only service agency of its kind in this area. SMUUCh Contact: Patsy Pierce.

Johnson County Interfaith Hospitality Network
Serves homeless families through a network of participating churches in Johnson County. SMUUCh members volunteer to prepare food for families, host meals, and provide hospitality, office and transportation support for the Network's family center in Olathe.
SMUUCh Contact: Emily Meissen-Sebelius.

Julia's Voice
Founded by members of our church, Julia's Voice promotes the return of Mother's Day to founder Julia Ward Howe's original intent...a day to stand for peace and against war and violence. Its largest event to date was a peace rally which involved 500 participants and was held along the 95th St. corridor on Mother's Day 2008.
