Interfaith Hospitality Network Guests Arrive January 31st
It is time again to welcome the families of the Interfaith Hospitality Network as guests at our church. They will arrive on Sunday, January 31st and depart on Sunday morning, February 14th. This is a wonderful opportunity to help host the families and to ensure they have as close to a home-like atmosphere to retreat to at the end of the day as we are all so blessed to have. There are 150 spots in which volunteers can contribute their time and resources. We need help moving the families in, providing meals, hosting overnight, supplies, and moving the families out. We also need some people to be "on-call" for supply runs during the 2-week period (to be called no more than 2 times) as well as monetary contributions to pay for miscellaneous supplies needed for the families during their stay. It really does take the entire congregation to host the families! Please contact Joonu Coste at 508-472-9633 or email the church office (office@firstunitarian.com) for more information and to sign up today!
