Call to Worship,
Long ago, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets;
now God has spoken to us by a Son.
God made the world through the Son,
who has been appointed heir of all things
and the perfect reflection of God’s glory.
The Son is the exact representation of God’s being,
sustaining all things by his powerful Word.
Praise God for the gift of the Son.
We welcome the light of the world!
—based on Hebrews 1:1-3

Code Blue Shelter Overnight Staffing
On behalf of Christian Caring Center:
We want to request your assistance regarding the Code Blue Shelters. Like most shelters across the state, we are experiencing a severe shortage of overnight staff. There are two overnight staff on each shift. The staff will oversee up to 14 adult male and female guests when the County declares Code Blue. A Code Blue is announced when the temperature drops to 32 degrees or colder. We serve guests a prepared dinner, supervise them as they watch movies, put together puzzles, or read. You may assist them as needed with simple tasks. There are COVID protocols in place that need to be also followed. Please see the attached job description for more details. This would be a paid internship of $50/ night. If interested, please email, and request an application at christiancaringcenter@yahoo.com
Thank you for your consideration,
Madelyn Sutton
