There is joy in taking up a small part of someone else’s burden, the part you can manage – the part you think you can carry. You will be strengthened by it and in turn you will know that someone else will not be crushed by what they cannot manage alone. Father Charles Strobel
Belmont UMC’s Room in the Inn Winter Shelter Program will return to the Community Center soon! Beginning November 6 and continuing through the end of March, Belmont will host 12 unhoused guests on 10 Friday nights, providing a warm and welcoming place to sleep, delicious meals, and Belmont hospitality.
Many Sunday school classes and church groups support this ministry, but we always need more volunteers! Whether you can help for one evening or would like to join the Room in the Inn committee, there’s a place for you. Volunteers can help prepare and serve meals, set up beds and supplies, drive the bus, or simply spend time visiting with our guests over dinner.
Room in the Inn is a meaningful way to extend hospitality and care to our neighbors in the Nashville community. To volunteer or learn more, contact Joan Cato.
