For anyone not familiar with the Interfaith Hospitality Network Program, we turn our parish into a "temporary home" for families in transition. Fourteen area congregations rotate the one-week hosting duties, with the help from five support churches.
At CGS we are in our 16th successful year in 2009.
While at CGS, we provide the families with fellowship, shelter and healthy meals - affording our parish family many opportunities to serve others. Please check the bulletin for service needs and contacts. Click HERE to find out more about IHN. This is a great opportunity for families to be involved in making a difference in other's lives.
Below is a list of opportunities for all CGS parishioners.
