Family Promise Host Week June 7-13
Our next Host Week for feeding and providing safe overnight housing for Family Promise guest families begins Sunday, June 7 and ends early Sunday morning, June 14. We need volunteers for various tasks. Please review the opportunities below and sign up to participate in this wonderful ministry our church supports.
Dinner Prep Volunteers
Dinner Prep Volunteers will prepare and deliver a meal for our guest families one night only, to be served in our church fellowship hall, Mauldin Hall. You will be providing a main meal and dessert. Beverages will be provided by the church. Meal time is 6:00 pm. You will have access to the church kitchen to heat the meal and clean up, and plates, napkins, utensils, cups, etc. are provided by the church. The number of guests always varies and we will contact you by email several days before your designated day to advise
(1) the exact # of guests who will be eating,
(2) their ages and
(3) any dietary restrictions our guests might have.
You are welcome and encouraged to stay and join our guests for dinner if you so desire.
Overnight Hosts:
We need at least 2 adults (ideally one male and one female) to host our guests overnight for each night we are hosting. You are welcome to bring your whole family with you, children will benefit from learning about the program and understanding the challenges our guest families are facing. You may wish to arrive and join our guests for dinner in Mauldin Hall at 6:00 pm, or if arriving later we recommend no later than 7:30 pm to get a nice transition between the dinner volunteers and the overnight volunteers. Sleep overnight in a private room on the 2nd floor of the Discipleship Hall, help to set out coffee and a light breakfast the next morning, and your mission is then completed to leave by around 7:00 am in the morning. A roll-away bed is provided- we ask that you bring your own pillow, sheet, and blanket.
Other Opportunities:
There are other opportunities, such as helping with:
- room set-up the day our guests arrive
- room tear-down the day our guests depart
- prepare/serve breakfast on the Saturday/Sunday weekend
- wash and dry sheets at the end of the week.
More information is provided in the signup section for these opportunities.
