Almost all of the streets that run off of Rudy Lane are dead end and do not connect to<br />

other streets. This lends itself to the streets being self-contained and operating without<br />

connection to the neighborhood at large.<br />

An older, widowed long time resident would like the church to be aware of her and so<br />

many others like her in the neighborhood. She says there are older residents that could<br />

use light care, such as occasional meals, visitors, help with seasonal yard work, moving<br />

things around between seasons, and she would love for the church to be involved.<br />

God is clearly working at Sojourn East. The<br />

church has grown numerically and<br />

financially. During our 2019 Easter service<br />

there were 39 baptisms across 3 services<br />

with an attendance of 1900 people. An<br />

increase in giving has allowed for new full<br />

and part time staff positions to be filled. Our<br />

Men’s and Women’s Bible studies meet<br />

weekly and have grown in numbers. We are<br />

continuing to build bridges in the East End of<br />

Louisville in various ways including mercy<br />

initiatives like Affordable Christmas and<br />

Medical Clinic as well as outreach events like<br />

Trunk or Treat, Vacation Bible School and<br />

Summer Movie Nights. The establishment of<br />

a Mother’s Day Out Program has also<br />

increased neighborhood connections. We<br />

have an active Foster and Adoption team<br />

that connects families at Sojourn East who<br />

are touched by Adoption and Foster Care as<br />

well as providing some financial assistance<br />

for those pursuing adoption.<br />
