The Room In The Inn is held every Friday in the Family
Life Center throughout December through March. Twelve
homeless guest are picked-up in the city and brought to
the parish by fellow parishioners who volunteer their
time. The guest are feed a nice hot dinner prepared by
other fellow parishioners and donated by local
businesses. Dinner is followed by live music and
fellowship provided by the parishioners for our guest.
The guest stay the night at the parish and awake to a
made to order breakfast prepared by yet another group of
fellow parishioners. When the guest part they are given
a wonderful bagged lunch to take with them that other
volunteers have prepared, and then returned back to the
city by even more volunteers.
This program could not exist without the great
volunteers that put it all together and make it happen.
INNKEEPER:
There are two Innkeepers that stay the night at the
parish with our guest. The Innkeepers are allowed to get
some sleep throughout the night, but we ask that at
least one Innkeeper is awake at all times. The Innkeeper
volunteers should arrive to the family Life Center
between 9:00pm - 9:30pm, but are welcome to join us
earlier for dinner, fellowship and music if the choose
to. The Innkeeper may leave in the morning after the
bulk of the morning volunteers have arrived, between
6:30am - 7:00am or are welcome to stay and enjoy a nice
hot breakfast with our guest if they wish.
There are a number of available dates left for
Innkeeper. Please consider volunteering your time by
