Room In The Inn

Dear Teams:

Every year, the RITI church coordinators receive a summary report from the Room In The Innkeeper, Paul Hanneman, regarding the RITI season.

There were 17,191 bed nights city wide this year, Sharon Presbyterian Church accounted for 174 of these. There were 127 children this year, up from last year; Sharon had 17 children, the highest number we have ever hosted.

And there are more statistics...  but, more important, Paul goes on to say that "every spiritual tradition regards hospitality and charity as virtues to be practiced by the faithful. There are ways to offer - not a hand out, but simply a hand... of welcome, compassion, and respect." This is exactly what each of you did this past winter. Thank you for being a part of Room In The Inn at Sharon. Our guests appreciated, each in there own way, what you all made possible. 

As you went about the business of making RITI happen, I sincerely hope that you felt God tugging on your heart-strings - with a smile.

Again, many thanks.

David Beers
