This Week at Chapel of Our Saviour
February 17, 2019 - Sixth Sunday After Epiphany
|
|
FAMILY PROMISE-INTERFAITH HOSPITALITY NETWORK
HOSTING WEEK MARCH 17-24
Chapel of Our Saviour is once again hosting up to four homeless families in our Parish House. Our guests will arrive Sunday afternoon March 17th and stay each evening and sleep overnight in our classrooms and offices that are transformed into warm, cozy bedrooms. Families will rise early each day, grab a quick breakfast and zoom off to school, work, daycare, or the FP-IHN Day Center. Guests depart in the early morning Sunday March 24th. We will provide them a welcoming home, with an abundance of loving hospitality, during their time with us.
Chapel parishioners have answered the call to discipleship for over eight years in serving the least, the last, and the lost, of our community. Families, in the FP-IHN program, travel weekly to different faith communities until they enter transitional or permanent housing. Individuals are in the most emotionally taxing state of their lives. Over fifty congregants will tend to this group in myriads ways before during and after hosting week.
If you or your family is looking for a Lenten discipline of service, please prayerfully consider volunteering. We have something for everyone: set-up; providing breakfast and lunch supplies, cooking and serving dinner; evening hosting; overnight hosting; restoration; and laundry services. If you choose to have direct contact with guests, you will receive training and be background checked. Funds are graciously provided by donors. We have a stable of much-appreciated volunteers who participate year after year in this joyful ministry. We invite you to join us!
Please contact Patty Smith at pdwansmith@gmail.com for more information, or Betsy VanderWerf at rivadiva@comcast.net to volunteer.

Spread the Warmth Blanket Drive:
Spread the warmth to our IHN guests and homeless shelters! We are collecting twin sized blankets and comforters in Jan and Feb to replace the worn blankets used when we host IHN guests and for the expanded homeless shelters. With the recent approval of additional beds at the Springs Rescue Mission and the Salvation Army Shelter, more blankets are needed. Please put your donation in the little red wagon.
Thank You Outreach Committee
Thank you to the Outreach Committee for your dedication and hard work in insuring that Chapel of Our Saviour has the opportunity to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Penny Bever, Rev Krista Dias, Sarah Hogan, Teri Orthwein, Linda Rowe, Audra Ruffennach, and Patty Smith - your wonderful efforts have helped almost 24,000 people in our global community. You show us all how to love thy neighbor as thyself. Thank you!
B Street Food Pantry – Warming Food & Drink
(hot chocolate, soup, canned chili, canned stew, instant oatmeal, etc.)
Winter presents unique challenges to our neighbors in need. Food pantries help families who are making ends meet throughout the rest of the year stretch their budgets and save money for other critical expenses such as increased heating bills. This month we are collecting warming food and beverages to help offset the challenges. We are also collecting warm outerwear such as coats, gloves, hats, and socks. On Sunday, please put your donation in the basket by the baptismal font. Otherwise, the little red wagon will be just inside the main door of the Parish House and donations may always be dropped off there. Last year, Westside Cares food pantries served almost 22,000 neighbors consisting of 6,500 children and 2,000 seniors. Thank you for your generous donations of over 3,000 pounds of food in 2018.
Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Hosting
From March 17 -24 2019, we will provide a home to families enrolled in IHN. The homeless families agree to follow strict guidelines of IHN as they work aggressively to regain a solid foothold on their situation and circumstances. As hosts, we provide meals, companionship, and a warm place to stay. Volunteers are needed to set up at the Parish House at 12:00 pm on March 17. Volunteers are also needed to make breakfast, provide lunch supplies, be evening hosts, do laundry, and tear down. Please contact
Betsy VanderWerf
to volunteer or sign up on the poster in the Parish House.
The Thrift House
We invite you to join us in volunteering at the Episcopal Church Women's Thrift House. One 3 hour shift makes a lot of difference. Prayerfully consider if you could give us a few hours to help make a difference. Remember, that the volunteer hours translate into outreach dollars, and the need in our community is great. Your help is always appreciated. Contact Teri Orthwein:
