If you don’t already know, soon, Central will begin the work of sheltering people! I can hardly believe my good fortune to be a part of this loving community and to be a part of this new housing venture. The critical work of offering showers and laundry and health care is life sustaining, yet this is just the beginning. We know and love the people that live unprotected and vulnerable in our city, suffering from the heat that most of us can escape.
Last Thursday, after returning from vacation, I visited with a young person that I check in with every week at Central. They shared the news that they had recently received, finally, an apartment. I was overwhelmed with joy! And, I am looking forward to their future. Our support and care are still important—the transition is a challenge for many newly sheltered people.
The table has been set for us at Central, as our pastors tell us every week. This past Sunday, as I walked up to the altar, that phrase became real to me for the first time. The table has indeed been set for us, and there is so much we can do.
