Julie and Hugh were troopers as the Overnight Hosts. Alequia had a late work night and early morning arrival back to FPC--and they let her in at "oh dark thirty". Thanks to our volunteers for doing whatever it takes to make things go well.
Richard once again drove the van and got everyone to either Bright Beginnings or the IHN Day Center. Thanks for driving again today!
VERY GOOD NEWS -- Lee has a full time job (unfortunately without benefits). She is very excited and will begin on Monday August 11. Yea! Keep her in your prayers, as a new job is always daunting.
Denise went by the church and put a lamp in the Women's restroom. Yes, there are lights in there. But the master controls turn the lights off at 10 pm and the overnight hosts then have to go to the hall and press the reset button. If someone is "caught" in the restroom at 10 pm it is a bit of a shock and very dark!
A CHANGE - As of today Alequia and her children are no longer in the program. We wish them well and ask that everyone keep her and her children in their prayers.
Susan is the On-Site Coordinator for Tuesday. She put clean sheets on the host beds, made sure everything was in order and ready to welcome our guests.
Jayne delivered the guests on her second afternoon in a row of van driving. She's reported being happy to get a "baby fix". The three children are precious!
Ann and Tanna were the Evening Hosts. They got the table set and the food ready to serve. And were the genial hosts for the meal and afterwards.
Jeannie and Roger brought tonights meal -- and what a meal it was! Pulled pork (with a special super secret recipe) and buns for those who prefer sandwiches, baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad and after all that--apple pie and ice cream!
Elaine spent the night, along with Forest, who came from his job as a golf pro. Hope you both have sweet dreams.
Thanks to all the hard-working volunteers from dawn to dark today. May God bless one and all.
