On Sunday evenings through March we will host 28 men and women in our Recreation Center from 6 p.m. – 6 a.m. We will provide dinner, breakfast, and a sack lunch. Volunteers staff this ministry—primarily our Sunday School classes and departments.
In addition to opportunities to serve through your class or department, individual volunteers are needed to help occasionally assist classes with set-up, meals, overnight “inn-keeping,” and laundry. This is a wonderful opportunity for families and individuals to donate part of an evening in ministry.
Children and youth are welcome and have helped frequently. Room In The Inn is a mission effort directed to those literally at our doorstep. Hebrews 13:2 reminds us to show hospitality to strangers and that by doing so, some have entertained angels. Come join! You might meet an angel!
There are 20 Sunday nights that we serve our guests. Please notify Rus Roach with which nights your group can help. A full list of responsibilities is available in the Main Office or by clicking here. Call soon to reserve your dates!
