We ask that as you see homeless people around Park in the future that you please let one of the deacons, elders or ministers know. Our hope  is to be able to get to know those in our area and begin a relationship with them in ways that we can take care of them physically and spiritually. Please be in prayer about this ministry as we seek to touch those that are poor, mistreated, ignored, and so different from those we normally associate with.

On January 3rd, 2009 a group will be meeting at the building to deliver sleeping bags, hats, gloves, ponchos, and New Testaments to over 90 homeless people.
