Worship Leadership
Make a joyful noise to the Lord! Sunday morning worship is a vital part of who we are at Atonement. You are invited to participate in any and all ways and that starts with joining us for worship on Sundays at 10am.
Common Ground Sundays
Join us for worship every Sunday at Trinity Lutheran Church and help us serve a meal.
- Trinity Lutheran Church, 527 Washington St., Reading, PA 19601
- Worship - Sundays at 2 PM
- Meal served at 2:30 PM
- We always need travel size toiletries, jackets, shoes, and clothing.
Family Promise
Too many families experience homelessness. We have a great resource in Berks County called Family Promise of Berks County which helps families experiencing homelessness with a place to stay, vocational and interview skills training, job hunting, and much more, all while keeping the family together.
Family Promise partnered with congregations to serve as host sites (Atonement shared its space 2008-2020) but due to Covid, they have changed to an Apartment Model in which families stay up to 90 days in houses that Family Promise rents. Now congregations participate in a Monday Meal Ministry.
Family Promise is using three rental properties that shelter 3-6 families (up to 20 people). The families move on to permanent housing as quickly as possible. Staying in one place during their time with Family Promise allows families to have bedtime routines for the children and more flexible work schedules. Since the families are in houses, they have access to a kitchen. Providing grocery gift cards instills self-sufficiency and empowers the client to oversee something when much of their current situation leads them to feel powerless, while cooked meals once a week provides a welcome break during this stressful time.
Atonement plans to provide prepared meals on Mondays, and donate grocery gift cards to cover groceries for the rest of the week. Please help serve our Family Promise guests with delicious food, groceries and hope!

Helping Hands
A few years ago, a group of volunteers came together to help members of our congregation who had a variety of needs. The group became known as the Helping Hands of Atonement.
Some of the jobs were as follows:
- Help with lawn care such as cutting grass, picking up leaves, removing snow, etc.
- Watching a house while the owner was away or disabled.
- Picking up groceries or other things for people who could not get out.
- Sitting with somebody to read to them or work on another task while a spouse got out.
- Walking a dog, taking care of a pet, etc.
Initially we had about 8 people who became helping hands. Over time, these people have moved away or became too old to help. We are in need of more volunteers who can help us with this need. If you wish to help us, please call Ed Hein at 610-858-6601, Ken Lord at 610-223-8885, or Crystal at the church office, 610-3750-3512.
