INTERFAITH HOSPITALITY NETWORK-Volunteer Opportunities
For anyone not familiar with the Interfaith Hospitality Network Program, we turn our parish into a "temporary home" for families in transition. Fourteen area congregations rotate the one-week hosting duties, with the help from five support churches.
While at CGS, we provide the families with fellowship, shelter and healthy meals - affording our parish family many opportunities to serve others. Please check the bulletin for service needs and contacts. Click HERE to find out more about IHN. This is a great opportunity for families to be involved in making a difference in other's lives.
