NEST: Norfolk Emergency Shelter Team

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

A Month Away!
February 2 through February 9

Nest is a coalition of 30 churches and synagogues whose mission is to provide a warm supper and overnight shelter for homeless men, women, and children for the winter months. The shelter is rotated weekly between Norfolk churches from November-April.

There are many ways you can become involved with this ministry. We especially are looking for OVERNIGHT STAFF and MONETARY DONATIONS.

It takes many volunteers to help run the shelter each night and each job is important. We believe NEST is an opportunity to welcome and serve Jesus by helping our homeless guests. We invite you to be a part of this ministry by signing up to help. Sign up here or on the sign-up board outside the parish hall. For more information please contact David Driskill.
