Help ReconcilingWorks welcome a new Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community:
Atonement Lutheran Church in Overland Park, Kansas.
Their welcome statement reads:
“You Are Welcome Here.
Atonement Lutheran Church believes that all people are created by God and share the same need for forgiveness, hope and healing. Even on issues where it is difficult to reach a consensus, Atonement desires to reflect the love of Jesus with a welcoming spirit. Moving beyond the common distinctions of race, national origin, age, physical and mental ability, political perspective, personal history, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, economic or social situation, we seek to invite and welcome all people to experience God’s love and grace.
Atonement strives to proclaim the Good News through worship and daily life, and to make disciples of all by nurturing faith. All people in a life-giving relationship with Jesus Christ are encouraged to let God’s Spirit deepen their relationship. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to grow spiritually through worship, prayer, Bible study, fellowship and service as we participate fully in the life of this congregation.
Atonement endeavors to serve God through the discovery and use of spiritual gifts and to share God’s mercy and hope to a world in need, working for racial equity, justice, and peace. Our intention is to be ambassadors of Christ’s love in the world. The life-giving work of Christ is accomplished as we discover and use the gifts that God has given us in our daily life and work.“
