Dear Grace House Family,

This coming Sunday (Jan 18th) we are asking that you bring as few or many ready to eat packaged snacks as you can to help the homeless in our city. Here are some ideas:

Peanut Butter Crackers
Cheese Crackers
Cereal Bars
Granola Bars
Fruit Snack
Applesauce Cups

We will have a table in the Commons Area to receive these snacks this coming Sunday morning. Howard and Jane Zeff will collect them and carry them to the ROOM IN THE INN ministry which several congregations in our area are involved in. This ministry provides a place to sleep for the night and a hot meal for the homeless during the winter time months. We are grateful for First Presbyterian Church for taking the lead in this.

There are three ways we at Grace House can help:

1. Provide supplies (this is what we are doing this Sunday)
2. Volunteer to help (See Jane Zeff who is our Grace House representative)
3. Prepare a meal. This would involve providing a hot meal for about 20 people. It may be that some in our congregation would like to work together to provide and help serve a meal one night. The meal would be served at the church hosting the homeless for the night.

This is a wonderful way for us to share the love of Christ in our own city to people in desperate need. Again, you can see the Zeff's who are hands on involved in this great ministry.

Blessings,
Pastor Eddie
