Understanding Homelessness

The 2022 Lenten Series: Understanding Homelessness

For our first project, the Outreach Committee will focus on homelessness and housing affordability in a 6-part Lenten Educational Series. Each week, a committee member will give a short presentation during the regular Sunday morning service on a particular aspect of the topic. The culmination of this series will be a discussion of action that St. Paul’s can take to help address this critical issue.
During this whole time we look forward to your ideas and suggestions.
