There is a distinct feel of fall in the air and very cold weather is around the corner. We are excited and solemn about the Room Inn The Inn fall/winter feeding and sheltering program at Westminster – excited because serving together is uplifting and solemn because serving in this ministry can be outside the comfort zone of some of our members yet engaging more members in this ministry is an important opportunity where the impact can span generations.
Room In The Inn resumes at Westminster November 13th, 2024 with many opportunities for engagement for singles, families, or small groups Wednesday nights through March 26, 2025. We have many great opportunities to spend time with Westminster friends and 14 homeless male neighbors.
