Opportunity for Mission: Interfaith Hospitality Network!

Hey folks,

I'm writing to let you know about a neat volunteering opportunity that has been offered to our group.

The Interfaith Hospitality Network is a group of churches in the campus area that provide a place to stay for a few families who have been displaced from their homes. They need volunteers from these churches to supervise and then lock up in the morning. It's really easy; I did this last semester. You get plenty of sleep - you can bring a sleeping bag and crash on a couch.

University Presbyterian Church has delegated to our campus ministry group the following two dates:

Sunday, March 29th and Friday, April 3

The time commitment would be from 8:30 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. the next day. That is flexible, though, as long as there are always at least three of us there.

This is a good experience and you get a lot of volunteer hours in for minimal work. Let me know if you're interested. There will also be a sign-up sheet at evening worship at UPC.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, Kathleen Fry, or Roscoe Overton. His email is rosoverton@grandecom.net.

Peace!

Lauron
