This Sunday (4/21) we are going to participate in the Family Promise Hike or Bike for Homelessness. Family Promise is the only shelter around that takes in children. Families in the program have dinner and sleep in local churches and synagogues. These Host Congregations offer hospitality to these families in crisis. Volunteers prepare hot meals, eat with the families, play games with the kids and spend time with them. If you are looking for ways to practice hospitality check out www.bergenfamilypromise.org. Also, if you are interested in the Hike or Bike, it's not too late to participate! Information is on their website. We have formed a team called the "Super Walkers." You are invited to join us (wear a cape!) or consider making a donation online.
Practice Hospitality with a purpose this weekend...
help those who need it most.
