Together! In Tempe, Our Home Town
Jenny and Bob welcome each of you to join with us from where ever you are, with your presence and/or your good wishes at the following calendared causes and events.
Homeless Persons' Memorial Eve: 12-21-11
On December 21st, the longest and coldest night of each year, our homeless neighbors and friends, unsheltered and unprotected, are exposed to hurtful and fatal weather conditions.
BANNER FOR THE CAUSE
We encourage you to be mindful of those neighbors, (families, children, seniors, veterans), who are without homes, as we remind all Tempeans by displaying our Banner for our Cause, and by our invitation and exhortation, on behalf of Evelyn Hallman's Endowment and our Ramsey Foundation, to participate with us toward ending their homelessness. Jenny Norton or Kirk Baxter can tell you more.
MEMORIAL SERVICES
Reverend Sue Ringler of Guardian Angels Parish, I-HELP, and TEAM Interfaith will offer a beautiful Homeless Persons Memorial Eve Service at 6:30pm on 12-21 at Community Christian Church, 1701 S. College Avenue, Tempe 85281.
We welcome you to attend and we welcome you to contact Pastor Sue Ringler for more information about how you can join us as we wrap our hearts around our homeless neighbors who grieve the loss of their beloved friends.
ARTISTIC TRIBUTE
