Family Promise Week 


6/10 -17 sign ups now open

We are pleased to be partnering with Family Promise to help Ahwatukee and East Valley families who have had a few bad breaks with housing and jobs to get back on their feet again! These folks are in transition to new jobs and housing while they rebuild their lives. I know that this is something we would all do for one another if we were in this situation. We have been blessed these past few months watching the families who have stayed with us move on to long-term, gainful employment and permanent housing!
We will be hosting our guests the week of June 10 -17.
This is an excellent project and service activitiy for d.groups, as well as, individuals looking to get connected!
We need teams of 6-8 to serve meals and have dinner with our guest familes each evening from 6-7:30pm. We need youth groups and children to come along to have dinner and play with the children of our guests. This is the magic that makes Family Promise work! Moms and dads begin to relax when they see their kids having fun! There are also many other ways that you can serve:
  • We need a pair of adults to serve one night as overnight hosts each night from 7pm-6am.
  • We need assistance with room set up before our guests arrive on Sunday afternoon May 13 and June 10.
  • We need clean-up and set-up help to get the rooms turned back into classrooms at 7am before Sunday morning Celebration on May 20 and June 17.
  • We could use 1 person who has a few hours during the day to come in and spruce up the rooms while our guests are at school and at the Day Center rebuilding their lives.
Please pray about helping and let us know what you can do!
