The Ministry to the Homeless, a subcommittee of the Social Concerns Committee, exhibits ecumenism at its best. People from Little Flower Parish, United Methodist Church in New Providence and Our Lady of Peace Church in New Providence provide shelter, food and encouragement for three to five families at the United Methodist Church for a period of one week, three to four times a year.
Tasks include set-up on the Saturday before the guests arrive, tear-down on the following Sunday after the guests leave, cooking and baking, serving and cleaning up after meals, driving the guests for showers and to do laundry, acting as hosts in various capacities, both during the day and overnight, shopping for items that are needed during the week and laundering the linens after the guests have left.
