[Lekooks] Exciting News Regarding Family Promise and Our Support Church

[William Lizdas]

This is wonderful news! Many of us can remember our first couple of weeks in Family Promise, and it's mind boggling to see how we've grown so successfully! 
Huge thanks to to all,

Under the leadership of their new minister, and with much encouragement from their volunteer base, their Church Council has agreed to take on a more active role in Family Promise.  Our congregations will remain as partners and beginning in May of this year we will share the host role.  This means that we will physically host the families twice yearly and they will support us (as in the past), and they will host the families twice yearly and we will act as their support.  This year they will host in May and August.  This is a unique arrangement and I think it will be great for both churches.  It will decrease the physical demands on both churches and will hopefully increase volunteer engagement.  The decision to have COR host in May and August was based on the facts that they have air conditioning and also took into consideration our building remodeling.

The overnight host role will still be one male/one female, but at least one of those will be from COR.  The Sign Up Genius will look the same except for the location.  Also, we had recently agreed that the support  church will contribute $50/host week to help with expenses.  (They contributed $50 in February of this year.)
