This is how a tiny Shelter makes a oversized impact! Look at these volunteers! David, Arlene, Fred, and Cameron are all creating food bags to distribute to the community. Clarissa and Ronnie are cooking lunch so that Tawny can have a break. We don’t have a building of our own, so Abram Neumann’s living room, and kitchen are serving as prep spaces. Down below in the basement is a little office space and a little warehouse that provides clothes for the Homeless.

Iglutheca is taking applications.
- We do turn down many applicants for warrants, recent arrests, bad reputations, or poor references.
- We do offer consistent schedules where your days and times off are the same every week.
- To those who want to make a difference, we can be a rewarding place to work.
- We are working to raise additional funds for higher staff wages. For now, we start at $12 per hour.

The Homeless will be warm tonight, despite the brutal cold in the forecast. Tonight’s low will be -5°F and the next night will be -10°F. We are making sure that we have backups to our backups. Meaning that we will have alternate sources of power and supplemental propane heat to keep the Homeless warm. This is the type of weather that our equipment likes to act up in, so be praying for everything to run smoothly.

We anticipate that we will probably be keeping more than 40 people warm per night as more people seek shelter from the cold. Thanks to everyone who donates to keep the shelter running and propane in the tanks!

“As long as there are people, Christ will walk the earth as your neighbor, as the one through whom God calls you, speaks to you, makes demands on you. That is the great seriousness and great blessedness of the Advent message. Christ is standing at the door; he lives in the form of a human being among us.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, God Is in the Manger: Reflections on Advent and Christmas

This is the fourth week of Advent: "Love week". Iglutheca tries to embody the work and attitudes of Christ by loving people right where they are.

“And that is the wonder of all wonders, that God loves the lowly…. God is not ashamed of the lowliness of human beings. God marches right in. He chooses people as his instruments and performs his wonders where one would least expect them. God is near to lowliness; he loves the lost, the neglected, the unseemly, the excluded, the weak and broken.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, God Is in the Manger: Reflections on Advent and Christmas

Joy to the world! This week, we want to share pictures of the joyful moments we experience at the shelter! Volleyball is out of the picture for now, in this crazy cold, maybe we need an ice rink instead. The jokes and teasing from these games are too good!
