We would like to make room for the least of these among us this

Christmas!
CAN YOU HELP?

It is with joy and excitement that I share this Christmas opportunity with you again this year. For the fifth year
we are inviting our friends without homes to a two-night stay and five meals at Aldersgate Camp. It is our hope
to host them as Jesus himself. Last year Room in the Inn 2014 pulled together 8 different churches, 42 donors,
50 gift-bag shoppers, 80 guests, and 140 volunteers. This year we hope to house 90-120 people for two
nights, share five meals & celebrate the incarnation of Jesus together.

There are many ways to get involved!

PRAY!
This has been a pivotal time of transition and readiness for many who seek hope, healing and housing the past
three years. Pray for blessings upon each one that would join us this year. May they be overwhelmed with the
love and peace of Christ as we celebrate the holiday together.

GIVE!
120 people @ $50 a person for a total event goal of $6000
Checks can be sent to Church@ThePark, 4455 Silverton Rd NE, Salem OR 97305, MEMO: Room in the Inn

Last year, our friends overflowed with gratefulness at every meal & interaction:
When you come out here, youve got a whole other family.
Its heaven. Ive been looking forward to it all week.
Thank you for the caring and giving Spirit that you have besotted on us all.
These have been the three most peaceful days of our year.
Being here has made me feel human again.
Being here like this makes me realize what I can do for others.
