Connections are vital to us! Connections are something that has
been sorely missed all these years during the pandemic. And that
is the goal of Tables of 8, that you make connections with
different people and build a home within the Westminster
community. Tables of 8 is a group of 6-8 people who agree to have
three meals together in a 3-month timeframe.
Westminster will be operating a Respite Center every Wednesday
for homeless folks in the area who will be able to get off the
streets for a while and spend time in our Courtyard and Patio
room.
There will be hot coffee and cool water to drink and some
nutritious snacks to eat, and we’ll make available an electrical
power strip so that our guests can recharge their cell phones
while resting. There’s also a restroom inside the Patio
Room that they can use. We are currently looking for four
volunteers to fulfill these three positions each Wednesday:
Two of Westminster’s own, Rob and Amy McCarthy, are fundraising
and running with Team World Vision at the Sacramento Urban Cow
Race on October 1st & 2nd to help provide life-changing clean
water to children and communities in the developing world! Amy is
running her first 5k in a while, and Rob is taking on the ‘double
udder’ 5k and then half marathon the next day! If you are able,
please help them support this worthy cause!
IRC Sacramento has recently leased warehouse space to store
