Last night, City on a Hill Church took another turn at overseeing the Homeless Shelter Ministry. Because of the expected inclement weather, our plans for facilities were changed. We ended up sleeping in the Depot Center after having dinner at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church.
I love to watch how our church family minister to the guests. I'm so proud of our folks! Also, the young man whom I met at the homeless shelter a few weeks ago joined us to serve them tonight. What a wonderful story! He was hired yesterday as a cook at Chili's restaurant and is well on his way to getting things turned around.
Keep praying for this ministry. There are still many churches in our community who have refused to participate. There are still many weeks left between now and April for which we don't have volunteers or facilities.
