MCREST

This week at our church, we are hosting "MCREST"

Some people think this is where the hamburgler went for retirement, but it is actually the "Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team" Since Macomb County does not have a permanet Homless Shelter, this is the "traveling" one. We open up our church (as do many other churches throughout the year) to house up to 30 men. Currently we have about 23 in the program, but it is always an eye-opening experience to serve them meals each night, talk with them, about their lives, and just plain be here with them.

What a way to begin the Thanksgiving season. Helps me to remember to give thanks for what God has provided me with!
