This cold weather makes me think about our brothers and sisters who are homeless... toughing it out on the streets. The good news is that a shleter for women and children is open and the men's shelter is opening soon. Community of Joy will take a turn hosting the men from February 14 - 28. Various others churches will host them from January 3 through April 1. I am delighted to be part of an effort that is seeking to show the love of Christ to these our brothers.
To support this effort, Hill Street Blues Band and guests are doing a benefit concert on January 30 @ 7 p.m. @ Christ U.M Church. The tickets only cost $10... (I have ten and can get more). The total proceeds will be given toward purchasing more cots for this shelter effort.
Sharon and I attended the concert last year and were awed by the quality music. It was well worth $20 for the two of us! Save the date and get your tickets now.... last year it raised $1700.
