Caldwell Family:
Please spread the word about the two upcoming volunteer workdays to prepare a warm and hospital space for the Emergency Overflow Shelter for Homeless Women. This morning’s Charlotte Observer ran an update on the community-wide effort and WBTV swung by today for its own story tonight.
The two workdays – Labor Day, Sept. 6 and Saturday, Sept. 11 – will be here before we know it so please consider groups or individuals you might invite to help. All hands are needed and welcomed. The workdays provide a wonderful opportunity for our congregation and our community to come together. Here is more information you can pass on:
