Are You Great With Kids?
Here's your opportunity to be involved with the SFVHC Rescue Ministry.
The first and second Sunday of every month we host the homeless people in the SFVHC.
We feed them a hot meal and then they spend the night in Howe Hall along with the Rescue Mission personnel. The 15-30 guests, including children, arrive around 6:15pm.
Our volunteers are finished for the evening at approximately 7:30pm.
Kurt Wegner is in charge of the kids' ministry and currently he is serving alone.
This has been difficult at times and we are asking for additional volunteers.
We would like to have one more male and two female volunteers.
This way we can have two teams with a male and female on each team and each team will serve only once a month. Please pray about this and if you are led, please contact Kurt Wegner, Lynne Yonemoto or Tom & Lynda Kira. God bless you.
