Open Your Heart and Your Calendar: Sign up for the Hypothermia Shelter at Holy Trinity
February 26 – March 4, 2012

Come join us for this unique opportunity to offer the hospitality of God’s house to our neighbors. All talents and skills are needed to make our guests welcome and comfortable: preparing and serving meals, cleaning the facilities, supervising overnight, or providing companionship to our guests by active listening or sharing your talents with art, music, sewing or however the Spirit moves you.

To signup online: password = homeless You do not have to create an account with the service in order to sign-up, but if you do create an account it makes coordination a little easier for the planning team. You may already have an account from last year (or from Lay Ministry or SNAHT sign-ups). You may click the button below to open a new window in which you enter the password, or if you are using Firefox or Chrome, you can also simply enter the password below.

Sign up the old fashioned way: See Deb Haynes in the Narthex during Coffee Fellowship or contact her by phone or e-mail (703.560.0263 or ladybogus@cox.net).

Training: HTLC is hosting a Hypothermia Volunteer Training on Saturday, February 11th at 9:30 am in Fellowship Hall. Come learn about how the shelter works and how to interact with our guests from FACETS staff. This training is informative and reassuring if you are new to the Hypothermia Shelter or a returning volunteer.
