Inter-Faith Council Award

Fran Finney, Social Ministry Committee Member

On September 23rd members of the Chapel of the Cross joined other organizations and friends at the Senior Citizens' Center to recognize the many and diverse efforts of community volunteers in Chapel Hill. The six representatives of our parish were there to receive, on behalf of the congregation, a plaque for our part in welcoming homeless men to our building during the renovation of the Inter-Faith Council shelter structure. We were one of a number of congregations to open our doors to provide a welcoming place for men to sleep in safety and peace and to be a part of our church family. Many parishioners participated in this endeavor by providing evening snacks, fellowship, preparing breakfast, and staying the night to assist the staff from the shelter. Bob Millikan and Sandy McClaskey led this effort with many hours of careful and creative planning so that we were able to do Our Lord's work with joy and thanks.
