New Shower Ministry Hours

Beginning June 2 through early August, the hours for the shower ministry will shift to Sundays from 1pm - 6pm.

The updated schedule will allow more time for showers & laundry, avoid overlap with church services, and allow other churches to partner with us. The shower ministry will also provide a cool place for our guests as the weather heats ups, and on Sundays when indoor cooling shelters are less available. 

Volunteers can sign up in 2 shifts; 1 pm - 2:30 pm and 2:30-6 pm. Please contact Neil Duggan at neiljduggan@gmail.com if you are willing to help.
