Last Sunday, some of our students participated in an important opportunity for Mission. They worked with a family at through the Interfaith Hospitality Network. IHN provides shelter for families that are homeless or on the verge of experiencing homelessness. Members of local faith communities in Austin spend the night with them, providing hospitality and shelter. The Mission of IHN can be found on the Foundation for the Homeless website. "Host churches, synagogues, and support congregations work in collaboration to provide year round shelter, meals, and support to families as they work toward achieving goals of permanent housing and self-sufficiency."
Our students spent the evening at University Methodist Church. IHN is one important ministry that UPC supports with time and resources. If you would like to learn more, visit this page.
