What Did It Mean To Them?

The other week the church hosted 40 women in transition from Caritas for the second time in about six weeks.

It meant the world to us.

We gained 40 new friends!

What did it mean to the women?

They shared in a group setting what their concerns were and what they could celebrate.

This picture says it all.

The bottom left line is a home run!

Thanks to all who ARE the CHURCH and made "This a peaceful safe place (not all churches)"


PS Some of the women pleaded with us to stay longer. 
They even offered to sell their food stamps in order to pay for the food necessary to stay another week.

The Homeless Guy: Turned Away From The Library


What saddens me most about this article is the fact that there are very few places for the homeless to go.

The library is popular because it is open to the public and you have access to a computer.

In this case he was turned away.

What other choices exist when it's 98℉ or  there's a thunderstorm?

Opportunities abound in ways to create safe places for the homeless.

What would those places look like?
