Family Promise/IHN

6 Dinners Needed

June 18 - June 24


"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

St. Michael's has committed to providing meals for the families being housed at St. Paul's United Methodist Church through the IHN Family Shelter program from Sunday, June 18, through Saturday, June 24, and we still need volunteers for six evenings. Please prayerfully consider this meaningful way to support these families who are working hard to achieve self-sufficiency. St. Mike's needs to provide dinners (arrival by 5:00 PM) and host the families until roughly 7:30 PM each evening at St. Paul's UMC. CLICK HERE to learn more and to sign-up. Thank you to our Daughters of the King for helping coordinate our efforts!

On the fourth Saturday of each month, beginning with June 24, from 9:00 AM until noon, you are invited to bring your own supplies or simply your own self to the Multi-Purpose Room. Drop in as your schedule permits or stay the entire morning to share ideas, energy, the occasional demonstration, and space.

No RSVP is required, and all levels are welcome whenever you are available this summer. Come as you are, bring a mat if you have one, or plan to use one that will be provided.

How do our grassy areas stay so mowed, trimmed, and overall well maintained? The St. Mike's Lawn Rangers of course!
