Room In The Inn

Sardis to Host Room in the Inn

Sardis Presbyterian Church’s mission states Exploring Faith. Changing Lives. What better way to demonstrate our faith than to invest in our local community by participating in the Room in the Inn program.  Roof Above has announced it will once again be operating the Room in the Inn a life changing program this year. Sardis because of our long history bas been asked to serve as a host location for our neighbors in need. Your Session and Mission Ministry agree that it is our calling to participate in this program again.

We need YOU to make the difference! Sardis will host Room In the Inn on Sundays and Wednesday from January through March 2024. This is a limited volunteer gig, but very rewarding. There are so many ways YOU can make an impact! To house our neighbors, we need team members to staff our fabulous Sardis House on Wednesday and Sunday nights from 5 pm to 8am. These are the two nights that ROOF ABOVE finds hardest to staff, because of other churches’ activities. Join a team and you will be asked to help 2-3 times in the 3-month period. Our neighbors need:

  • 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. Greeters: Help settle guests in rooms, coordinates laundry, and serves as a general welcoming presence.
  • 10 p.m. – 5 a.m. Overnight Hosts: Settle everyone in for the night, sets up breakfast in the morning (Overnight hosts are hard to find. Please consider doing it once or twice. Stretch your volunteer-self).
  • 5 a.m. – 8 a.m. Closers: Help get everyone packed up and out the door, rides the bus back to Roof Above with the driver, cleans up.

Ready to make an impact? Contact Kay Taylor or Sallie Crossley.
