Letter | Thanks to churches for hosting the homeless

Published 3:41 pm Tuesday, February 17, 2015

I want to thank Mount Si Lutheran Church for hosting the Snoqualmie Valley Winter Shelter in recent months.

As a home-owning resident in the neighborhood, I enjoyed stopping by on occasion, and it was good to know local people without stable housing at least had a hot meal and a safe dry place to sleep on wet winter nights.

As I understand it, the shelter’s slightly extended 90-day stay ended in early February. It’s time for the next location to experience the blessings of hosting.

Thanks to Snoqualmie United Methodist Church for inviting that possibility.

Should it come to pass, I suspect folks there will also benefit in surprising ways.

Learning to love my neighbor,
