This fall we will begin our next big thing at Sellwood. Starting in late August we will be partnering with the New City Initiative‘s Village Support Network to support a homeless family as they transition from a shelter in to housing. We’ll do practical things like help the family move and hold a house warming for them. We’ll also do fun things like a bowling night together and a pizza party. Over the course of six months or more our team will meet with the family to set goals and take action. We’ll help them connect to resources and get to know them as beloved people of God.
Not everyone in our community is on the Village Support Network team, and that is one of the things I love about Sellwood Faith Community. Even though we are small we are clear about our call and our ability to each seek fulfilling ministry. Not everyone has to do everything, which makes us able to learn from each other’s ministries and be inspired in our own path. I’m sure that this partnership will be a transformational one for the folks engaged on the team, and for the rest of our community as we hear the story unfold and offer support to the supporters.
Would a partnership with any of the New City Initiative’s be right for your call? Check them out and join us in creating space for change!
