IHN Week Begins
by Monique Lewis
On June 5th, our church will host 4 families who are temporarily without a home. These families are accepting help from the Interfaith Hospitality Network, a network of about 40 churches in Chattanooga which provide meals and housing. We extend our hospitality three times a year and from June 5 11, we will need dinner preparers, evening hosts, overnight hosts, and folks to help set up the classrooms downstairs.
I challenge you to do something new! Check out the sign up board at the church and put yourself down to help someone who is down on their luck. Does your contribution count? Yes! We need about 60 volunteers to make the week run smoothly and every job is important. The family we hosted in January moved into the Family Housing and Learning Center and the father is now employed. We provide housing, food, and compassion to help families turn their lives around. If you’re not certain about what a host actually does, call Monique Lewis at 847 1523 with your questions.
