... And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
And to walk humbly with your God.
-- Micah 6:8 (NIV)

Saturday, Nov. 12: Volunteer with Prepare Affair!

Interfaith Hospitality Network

Christ Church is one of the host churches within the Interfaith Hospitality Network, a Northern Kentucky organization through which churches provide lodging to homeless families. During the week that families stay at our church, we need volunteers to help serve dinner at the church, drive the van and other duties, none of which will take more than a couple hours one night during the week. Your children are welcome to come with you to volunteer. Check back here to find out which weeks we're hosting this fall. If you're interested, please sign up on the sheet in the narthex at Christ Church, or send an email to melissac (insert @ symbol here) zoomtown.com.

Background on the Interfaith Hospitality Network:

Once every 11 weeks, we host families who are temporarily without homes. They sleep overnight at our church for one week, returning each morning to a day center that provides them with social services. During our host week, volunteers from our church cook and serve dinner to the families, serve as dinner hosts, transport families in the van, do laundry and cook breakfast on Saturday or Sunday. In addition, each night one person stays overnight at the church so that a contact for the families is always available.

This is a vital ministry, and there are many ways to serve. Please consider helping out!

THANK YOU

Thanks to those who helped and participated in the Fall Flu Shot Festival. We did our part to stay healthy this fall and winter, and we also helped neighbors in need. For each flu shot purchased, St. Elizabeth Hospital is able to donate on free flu shot to someone who is not able to afford it. Way to go, Chris Church! - Steph Laake
