SERVICE EVENTS -- CORRECTION/UPDATE

I try not to send out too many messages, but it has been brought to my attention that I didn't actually list the date for the FACETS event. Also, we are still in need of people to serve at the Katherine K. Hanley Family Shelter on Friday. UPDATED info for both is included below:

Katherine K. Hanley Family Shelter: This new family shelter run by Shelter House, Inc. ( http://www.shelterhouse.org) provides temporary housing and supportive services to homeless families in order to enable them to transition to permanent housing and a stable family life. On Friday, November 2nd, we'll help serve food to the families and do whatever else they need help with. We'll leave campus from the Crosspoint Ministry House at 4:30pm, returning around 8pm. (Also see http://gmu.facebook.com/event.php?eid=5474424341)

Fairfax Area Christian Emergency & Transitional Services, Inc. (FACETS) --- http://www.facetscares.org/). We're going to join a local church in transporting and watching homeless kids (& their parents), so it would be great if each car we take has an empty backseat for the transportation part. We'll meet at 9:00am to depart from the Crosspoint Ministry House by 9:10am on Saturday, November 3rd. After picking up the kids/families from their transitional housing, we'll head to Cox farms ( http://www.coxfarms.com) for Pumpkin Madness (including pumpkin destruction and more -- you won't want to miss the awesome post-Halloween big splattery mess!) If you are interested & available, let me know if you'll be able to drive, & how many passengers you can take. We'll be back to campus around 2:30pm. (Also see http://gmu.facebook.com/event.php?eid=5293254167)

The Crosspoint Ministry House is at 4601 Roberts Rd. Directions can be found at http://gmulutherans.blogspot.com -- just scroll down to the post from 10/29/2007. Driving there is easy, it's the 2nd house on Roberts north of Braddock across from campus.

If you are interested or have questions, email me: ben {at} novalcm.org
