Thank you for a successful Family Promise Week at First Presbyterian! A letter from Britton Leitch
Family Promise Team,
We had a very successful Family Promise host week. I'm grateful for God's provision and blessings upon the FP ministry and our guests. I'm also grateful for the many people that gave freely of themselves to serve the needs of others for the sake of building God's Kingdom. Without all of your contributions, this ministry would not be possible. It takes a very large team of volunteers to host Family Promise! I would to thank the following people for their service to Family Promise:
My family (the Leitches), for their support and rolling up their sleeves to help anywhere that is needed.
Pastor Mark Curtis and Pastor Meredith Loftis for being champions of Family Promise and leading FPC's Matthew 25 initiatives. I would like to also thank the entire church staff for their contributions that make Family Promise a reality.
Sue Wrisberg for organizing and maintaining the FP supply closet and putting together guest care packages.
Janice Houser for grocery shopping.
Sam Pittenger for organizing the setup and takedown team, as well as hauling the FP trailer.
Transition hosts Mary Wilson, Paulette and Gary Anderson, and Jane Luhn for welcoming our guests when they arrive and introducing them to the other volunteers.
Cooking team coordinators Celeste Whaley (FPC), Alice Garrison (St. John's), Phyllis Collins (St. John's), and Rebekah Fadeley (Two Rivers Church) for organizing all the amazing meals.
Night Hosts Jennifer and Iain Phillips, Debbie and Jimmy Jones, Ann and Bill Myers, Bill Eversole and Bill Morrow, David Brace, Mark and Daniel Curtis, and Laura and Chris Mallette for ensuring our guests are cared for overnight.
Jenn Jones for coordinating laundry washing after our FP guests depart.
The congregations of First Presbyterian Church, St. John's Lutheran Church, and Two Rivers Church for their prayers and support of the Family Promise Ministry.
The Family Promise Staff, who serve the families day in and day out, walking with them on their path to sustainability.
There are so many that served last week, so I apologize if I accidentally omitted someone. Please share this message with all that served last week. All of you are such a blessing to Family Promise!
Our remaining host dates for 2024 are 4/7/24 - 4/13/24, 8/4/24 - 8/10/24, and 11/24/24 - 11/30/24. Please help recruit others to the ministry!
Grace and Peace,
Britton Leitch
