Dear Orchards Family -

We are forever grateful for the many prayers, emails, texts, calls and cards during Emily's testing and surgeries.  She is healing and doing well so far.  

Love you all!

Sherry, Bill and Emily

During the committee meeting I mentioned the homeless woman who was living on 4th Plain on the stretch of sidewalk between Covington and 102nd. She sat on the sidewalk next to hr pup tent and supplies while she smoked a cigarette. Two weeks ago she was standing up with her britches hanging down and sidled to the grass area to relieve herself. I was stunned that she didn't seem to have a problem with her bare butt showing in public. Haven't seen her since. The committee suggested I call the Housing Hotline about her. I called the council on homeless but they had no information on her. They did tell me that good things were happening in the community. The City Council and other groups were working hard to find ways to house the homeless...it was taking time because thongs are so "complicated."

I called he housing hotline. Gwen said all we can do is give a person a card with the hotline phone number. They have to know that the person calling understands what he/she is asking for. She also told me that Fish and Wildlife new day center was having an open house on November 14, with a speaker at 4-4:30.

Maybe we as a church can write a prayer just for these homeless folks to say they traverse their lonely journey. We could make small cards with the prayer and make them available to the WHO shelters.
