Family Promise Arrives — June 18-25
The second quarter of the year is here and our next dates to host are set. Families will be here at St. Luke’s June 18-25. There are currently three families in the program, a total of four adults and three children (aged 18 months, 2, and 9). Sign up for volunteers will continue for the next three weeks. Thanks to everyone who has already volunteered to serve! There will be many opportunities to host — by preparing meals, visiting with families in the evenings, or staying overnight. Stop by Metcalf Hall after the 10:30 service to choose your slot. If you have questions, or would like to learn more about the program, or want to sign up early, please contact Jen Peterson at jenrpet1971@gmail.com or 918-397-7779.
