Thursday, January 24, 2013 a group of 16 volunteers from our church will meet 7 pm at 513 Talbot St. with the Sanctuary London ministry leaders. The Sanctuary opened up about a year ago to serve the homeless in partnership with the Christian Reformed church. Pastor Gil Clelland had been organizing the services downtown for increasing number of homeless arriving from Chatham, Owen Sound and all other surrounding cities, as London is the hub of social services. Before our church community could offer help for this increasing crisis we need to learn. This meeting will be a “two hour walking tour” of downtown, hands-on learning how to interact with people in need. A sign-up sheet is posted in the foyer. The first preference will be given to those currently in leadership of our church as it would be necessary for the leadership team to have the first hand experience. More opportunities for training will come in February as we move into more Community outreach. 13.
