ROOM IN THE INN LAUNDRY CONTINUES
Each Thursday in the months of December through March, St. John's hosts up to 12 of our homeless neighbors for the night. As a part of their time at SJE, our students have committed to serving these friends by washing their clothes.
We meet at 6:15pm each week (at the preschool entrance) and head to the Monroe Road Laundromat to wash clothes. We always grab a bite to eat for dinner before heading back to church around 9:30pm. Don't forget money for dinner and tip!
All 6th - 12th grade students are invited to join us each week or just come for one or two! This time allows for a fun time of fellowship and service and is also great if youth need service hours for school.
